Case Study: Elbit Systems of America achieves consistent risk management and stronger customer confidence with Sword GRC’s Active Risk Manager (ARM)

Elbit Systems of America Deploys Active Risk Manager (ARM) to Manage Risk Across Homeland Security, Defense and Commercial Aviation Projects

Elbit Systems of America, a provider of products and support services across commercial aviation, defense, homeland security, cyber security, and medical instrumentation, needed a more consistent way to manage risk and opportunity across its programs and projects. After internal reviews and customer feedback highlighted gaps in its homegrown risk tool, the company chose Sword GRC’s Active Risk Manager (ARM) to strengthen risk management and support AS9100 certification.

Sword GRC implemented ARM across multiple business units, with more than 120 program and project managers now using it as risk champions. The solution improved reporting, accountability, and visibility, helped Elbit Systems of America win a major U.S. Homeland Security program, and supported ongoing contract delivery and compliance efforts; the company says its use of ARM increases customer confidence and reinforces its quality certifications.
