Solutions / Reduce risk and stay compliant

Technology Risk & Compliance

Identify critical dependencies, obsolete technology, and compliance risks before they slow down transformation.

Technology risk and compliance work gets difficult when lifecycle data, system dependencies, vendor exposure, and control context live in separate tools. Caplo connects those signals so teams can see where technology risk is building, what it affects, and how it relates to transformation and regulatory priorities.

Where Caplo helps most

Focus area 1

See technology lifecycle risk in context

Technology risk is easier to act on when PACE classification sits on top of real business functions and the applications that support them, not on isolated component lists.

  • See which business functions depend on applications with elevated technology risk or obsolete exposure.
  • Layer PACE on applications and suites so risk hotspots stand out in business context.
  • Support obsolescence risk management with a landscape view instead of disconnected lifecycle spreadsheets.

Example view

Business functions and their supporting applications, with PACE classification layered on technology risk across the landscape.

Focus area 2

Map dependencies before they become incidents

Critical dependencies often remain invisible until a change, outage, or audit forces them into the open—unless risk can be traced through the architecture stack.

  • See how obsolete or high-debt components connect to dependent architecture layers above them.
  • Make business impact visible when technical risk bubbles up to processes and capabilities.
  • Use one connected model for both transformation planning and risk analysis.

Focus area 3

Support compliance and resilience work with real architecture data

Third-party risk is easier to prioritize when vendor exposure is visible alongside business criticality and TPRM status in the same repository view.

  • Review vendors with business criticality scores so high-impact suppliers stand out early.
  • Track TPRM status from assessment through approval and exception handling in one list.
  • Support DORA, NIS2, TPRM, and AI governance analysis with linked systems, data, risks, and controls.
