EUC Solutions
Apparity provides solutions addressing EUC controls and governance across many verticals and global regulations.
Solutions
Apparity's spreadsheet and end user computing (EUC) management platform helps organizations scan, inventory, and place controls around EUCs.
Government Regulations
Regulatory requirements continue to expand across financial reporting, operational resilience, data governance, and AI. Frameworks such as SOX, DORA, GDPR, the EU AI Act, and BCBS 239 can place greater scrutiny on the spreadsheets, models, and other end-user applications that support critical business processes. Apparity helps organizations identify, monitor, and control these EUCs while maintaining the evidence needed to support governance and compliance.
EUC Governance
EUCs pose a unique risk to companies because they fall outside of traditional internal controls. As a result, they go unnoticed. Organizations tasked with updating existing EUC controls or implementing an EUC policy for the first time need a solution and expertise that is comprehensive in reducing risk.
AI Asset Inventory & Governance
As AI models, agents, and vendor tools spread across financial institutions, knowing what is in use becomes harder. Apparity helps teams discover and register AI assets, assess their risk, and manage ongoing governance in one configurable inventory.
Spreadsheet Risk Management
Spreadsheets are highly leveraged and a fundamental part of business operations worldwide. However, spreadsheets and other end user computing applications are often poorly managed. That leaves companies exposed to financial, regulatory, and operational risks.
Model Risk Management
Models play a critical role in business decisions and regulatory reporting, yet managing them through manual processes can increase risk and administrative burden. Apparity helps organizations centralize model inventory, automate risk assessment and lifecycle activities, strengthen oversight, and manage EUC-based models within a comprehensive Model Risk Management (MRM) framework.
Shadow IT
Shadow IT applications often operate outside traditional IT controls, creating gaps in visibility, security, and oversight. Apparity helps organizations uncover hidden EUCs—including spreadsheets, databases, and other user-developed applications—so they can identify risk, apply appropriate controls, and maintain the flexibility users need to support critical business processes.
Industries
Banking
Spreadsheets are a key tool in banking. Regulatory mandates such as Basel III, DFAST and CCAR force banks to evaluate how they manage their end user applications in a rigorous control framework.
Insurance
As many insurers come to learn, spreadsheets and other EUC applications lack controls. Applying them manually is far too heavy a burden given their complexity. This contributes to data quality issues, a lack of ownership visibility, and unclear access rights. Furthermore, many regulators require historical detail to gauge completeness— something Excel does not offer.
Utilities
Utility companies use Excel spreadsheets to consolidate financial information, energy trading, and operational data from different regional systems. Regulatory agencies require companies to use a rigorous control framework to make sure that financial reporting, rate case details, energy trade confirmations, and commodity commitments are sound and accurate.
