By Size Of Business

Strytex provides B2B services to both sides of the buyer/supplier relationship so our Members range from multi-billion global corporates to mom and pop businesses and sole traders.

Sole traders, micro and small business

SMEs represent over 90% of the business population, 60-70% of employment and 55% of GDP in developed economies.

Most sole traders, micro and small businesses only need to store compliance certificates and share them with their clients so they only need the FREE SSOT product to manage their internal compliance documents.

Where small businesses are in heavily regulated industries like

  • Hospitality
  • Childcare

they often choose to subscribe to the MISSOT service for both internal compliance and external compliance.

Medium businesses or teams within a large business

Most medium sized businesses are not large enough to have staff with the skills to manage compliance matrices and keep docs up to date. For these businesses the MISSOT service is the most popular solution.

Teams within large businesses or corporates may have a very specific compliance focus, e.g

  • Facility Managers         Property and contractor compliance
  • Finance                               Supplier insurance
  • Procurement                   Supplier and supply chain compliance

Again the MISSOT service is the most popular.

The ISSOT solution is only applicable for businesses with large numbers of administration staff with subject matter experts in relevant areas of compliance, e.g. food safety, HR etc.

They like the MISSOT managed service for the benefits it provides

  • Reduced costs
  • Transparency
  • Exception reporting

The MISSOT managed service allows large and corporate businesses to focus on their business, not the paperwork.

By Job Title

Governance Risk and Compliance solutions by job title are by far the most important factor. We have worked with procurement managers, facility managers, contract managers, WHS manager, quality managers and many more across multiple industries. People working in these professions face similar issues, problems and pressures no matter what industry they are working in.

Based on years of experience and feedback from clients, we’ve mapped our compliance control matrices to each job title and have developed the following table.

Internal Compliance External Compliance
Company Staff Property Assets Products Projects Company Staff Property Assets Products Projects

Business/Office Manager
Contract Manager
Facility Manager
HR Manager

Supply Chain Manager

Board Member/Director

Pretty much has to be aware of all risk and compliance

Business/Office Manager

In a small or medium sized business, generally responsible for all compliance issues

Contract Manager

Depending on your business, they may be responsible for the compliance of all suppliers and products under formal contracts

Facility Manager

The Facility Manager has to ensure the property is compliant, the products installed in the property are compliant and that all work carried out by staff and contractors is carried out by suitably qualified people using compliant equipment

HR Manager

Internally focused, ensuring staff are qualified and compliant to do their jobs

Internal Auditor

Need to be able to audit compliance across everything

OHS Manager

Is responsible for the safety of everyone on site, whether they are staff, contractors, sub-contractors, visitors, students, etc

Procurement Manager

Their focus is generally on supplier compliance and ensuring that the products and services purchased comply to requirements

Quality Manager

Generally focussed on product compliance

Risk Manager

Risk comes in all shapes and sizes

Supply Chain Manager

Same as the Procurement manager but needs to ensure sub-contractors and sub-suppliers right down the supply chain are compliant

By Industry

Hi, I only put this bit in because almost every business segments their markets by industry. That’s great if you have industry specific solutions but we don’t. GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) is relevant across all industries big and small.

Facility managers across all industries are facing the same GRC issues.
Procurement managers across all industries face the common GRC issues
Internal auditors grapple with similar GRC problems.

If you are a facility manager in the mining industry, would you ask an HR manager in the same industry for advice on how to manage property compliance, or would you ask a facility manager in another industry?

Our solutions are focussed on professions (job title) because that’s the best way of addressing shared professional compliance issues. I learnt very early on that compliance is a people problem so we focus on people and their issues, not industries.

Costs And Risks Of Non-Compliance

The COMPLEXITY of compliance

According to the Deloitte report “Get out of your own way. Unleashing Productivity”, Nov 2014, “we don’t even know how many government bodies there are that can set rules in the first place, let alone the number of rules those agencies have laid down…….Yes, that’s right – we can’t even count the rule-makers, let alone the rules.

Strytex reduces the complexity by creating a Managed Intelligent Single Source of Truth (MISSOT) for each business to help them keep track of their hundreds or thousands of compliance documents.

The COST of compliance

Compliance is a costly, mindnumbing, never-ending, soul-destroying task. It’s generally spread out piecemeal across an organisation, so no one really knows how much it costs.

Deloitte Access Economics estimates that rules and regulations cost Australia $249 billion per year, every year, of which, 20% is spent on administrative costs. According to the Deloitte report, “Get out of your own way”, Nov 2014, compliance administration has got so out of control that

  • 1 in 11, or 9% of employed Australians now works in the compliance sector,
  • Employees spend 8 weeks in every year administering and complying to compliance rules
  • Senior executives and middle managers spend 8h54 mins every week complying with corporate rules they have set for themselves. Other employees spend 6hrs 36 mins every week on the same.

So we have highly skilled (expensive) managers across Finance, Legal, Accounting, HR, WHS, Facilities, Contracts, IT, Food Safety wasting eight valuable weeks a year time on mundane, administrative tasks. Imagine the benefit if they were spending those eight weeks a year on strategic and operational issues.

Working with Deloitte we calculated that Compliance Administration costs each business 6.24% of employee expenses, or if you manage a small team 12.5% of total salaries. Yes, all that time and money is spent on paperwork!

By outsourcing to Strytex, a central Business Process as a Service (BPaaS), you can significantly reduce your cost of compliance administration. Strytex reduces the cost by focussing on the low-level administrative tasks and doing them very efficiently.

The RISK of non-compliance

Through no fault of their own, most small, medium and even some large organisations can’t afford specialist compliance managers across all the main area of compliance, namely, WHS, food safety, facility management, purchasing, supply chain, IT etc. Now, if there is an event with a failure to comply with WHS legislation, senior managers, the Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) may be prosecuted even if no-one is injured.  

More often than not, non-specialist business managers and office managers are put in charge of compliance. Not only are these managers not formally trained in all areas of compliance, it’s very difficult for them to keep up to date, which is no easy task. These business and office managers often wear multiple hats so compliance (complex and costly) comes last or is ignored until it’s too late. This double whammy of over-regulation and lack of training puts the vast majority of small, medium and even large organisations at risk. With non-compliant suppliers and contractors, reputational and brand risk is also a factor.

The Business Council estimates Australia has “well over half a million pages of regulation”, but no-one knows just how many individual rules that really means. In fact, we don’t even know how many government bodies there are that can set rules in the first place, let alone the number of rules those agencies have laid down. Yes, that’s right – we can’t even count the rule-makers, let alone the rules! and that’s just part of the problem. According to Deloitte, government, be it federal, state or local, only accounts for 37% of the rules. The vast majority of the rules are self-inflicted! Industries and organisations are creating the policies and rules that are causing most of the red tape!

Strytex reduces risk by sharing practical information to help keep business managers up to date.
