Specifically, I work with a product called the <a HREF="http://www.Interfacing.com/Products" rel="nofollow"> Enterprise Process Center</A>. The EPC has a number of modules that allow for <a HREF="http://interfacing.com/Products/performance-management" rel="nofollow"> crisis management</A>. There is a <a HREF="http://interfacing.com/ComplianceSOX-ISO-BASEL-Six-Sigma-Risk/Risk" rel="nofollow">risk management </A>module which allows you to visualize risks within processes and mitigate those risks by implementing controls on user activities.
