Modern Application Development
PROJECT SUMMARY
The Lahebo SaaS platform was designed to solve the challenges of scale and availability by delivering key features on Amazon Web Services. A Web application, built with responsive design, was created to reach Anitech’s target customer base, to manage their risk and compliance exposure. A legislation library was created as a repository for legislation, acts and standards that customers can subscribe to and attach to specific risks. Legal registers of specific legislation specific to a customer’s industry or organisation can be created and mapped against risk registers. As legislation changes over time, customers are notified and can action.
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL provided a highly available data store with minimal management overhead for Anitech’s team, providing a high level of security for users in isolation using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), encryption at rest and encryption of data in transit using SSL. Risk Registers can be created and maintained across an organisation, risks can be raised at all levels of the enterprise and assessed by an administration function.
Mitigation strategies can be created and monitored and existing Anitech customers can upload their own risk registers directly. At all levels of user interaction, the solution was supported by Amazon Cognito to manage identity and access, supporting MFA. Mitigation strategies from the risk module can be converted to actions that can be raised and tracked against a defined approval process.
Behind the scenes Amazon CloudWatch was used to monitor the application and its usage patterns to improve the security and performance. An organisation's risk and compliance landscape can be observed via a centralised dashboard, highlighting exceptions where risks and mitigations don’t align with legislation or company policy or aren’t managed, and the status of actions and remediations are observable across the organisation and assist internal and external auditing obligations.
CHALLENGES
- Risk exposure has real and serious impacts on safety and culture across Anitech’s customer base and any solution needs to be available 24/7
- Complicated environment of dynamic legislation, across multiple jurisdictions
- Scaling to meet the growing demand of risk and compliance adherence
- Consulting across multiple levels of an organisation is a time-consuming and
sometimes fragmented process

- Frictionless Onboarding
The systemised approach to creating organisational risk registers and legislation libraries has resulted in a reduction in onboarding time by 80% on average per customer. Rather than being driven from the top down, the solution encourages users across the organisation to engage and raise risks as a priority, and sees an increase of stakeholder engagement of 90%. - Real Time Risk and Compliance reporting
Traditional changes to a risk register or legislation library may take hours or days to communicate across multiple work sites or remote offices, lahebo reduces this to effectively zero latency, empowering staff to proactively champion a culture of compliance. - Enhanced Intelligence
More comprehensive reporting and alerts that are more responsive to the context of a customer, and their industry.
