Streamlining risk, compliance, third party risk management and data privacy with SureCloud’s new integrated GRC platform.

Case Study: Specsavers

The Challenge
Specsavers is a family-run business operating more than 2,700 stores across 10 countries with more than 43,500 employees providing the best value optometry, audiology and other healthcare service for its customers.
Specsavers needed an integrated governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform to
streamline processes and improve overall efficiency, including eliminating manual data re-entry and data silos while reducing reliance on manual systems with key person dependency.
Specsavers evaluated seven vendors, focusing on both technology and team expertise for risk, compliance, third party assurance, and data privacy. Trusted by organisations worldwide for its innovative technology and expert-led implementation that drives measurable results, SureCloud was consistently the frontrunner.
Specsavers was particularly impressed by SureCloud’s understanding of its requirements and proactive approach.
The Requirements
The solution needed to:
Support regional processes while enabling data to be aggregated into a global enterprise-wide view.
Be scalable, innovative and give assurance it would support Specsavers’ future needs
Deliver a clear ROI beyond operational efficiency benefits, providing management information and insights to enable data-driven decisions and strategic investments.
The SureCloud Solution
Specsavers chose SureCloud’s integrated governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform with modules for Risk Management, Compliance Management, Third Party Risk Management and Data Privacy.
The platform will provide Specsavers with enhanced resilience, streamlined global processes, address regional nuances, meet regulatory requirements, and provide an enterprise-wide view of risks and compliance.
The partnership with Specsavers reflects both companies’ commitment to excellence in risk management, collaboration, and accountability across operations.
Nick Rafferty, Co-Founder & Chief Product Evangelist, at SureCloud said:
