Why GRC?

By implementing GRC programs, businesses can make better decisions in a risk-aware environment. An effective GRC program helps key stakeholders set policies from a shared perspective and comply with regulatory requirements. With GRC, the entire company comes together in its policies, decisions, and actions.

The following are some benefits of implementing a GRC strategy at your organization:

Data-driven decision-making

You can make data-driven decisions within a shorter time frame by monitoring your resources, setting up rules or frameworks, and using GRC software and tools.

Why GRC?

Responsible operations

GRC streamlines operations around a common culture that promotes ethical values and creates healthy environment for growth. It guides strong organizational culture development and ethical decision-making in the organization.

 

Improved cybersecurity

With an integrated GRC approach, businesses can employ data security measures to protect customer data and private information. Implementing a GRC strategy is essential for your organization due to increasing cyber risk that threatens users’  data and privacy. It helps organizations comply with data privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With a GRC IT strategy, you build customer trust and protect your business from penalties.

GRC Tools

GRC tools are a way to manage operations and ensure a company is meeting compliance and risk standards. Tools can also help determine and mitigate risks associated with use, ownership, operation, involvement, influence, and adoption of IT within a company. GRC tools should encompass operational risk, policy and compliance, IT governance, and internal auditing.

Effective GRC tools create and distribute policies and controls and map them to regulations and compliance requirements. They help assess whether controls have been deployed, are functioning correctly, and are improving risk assessment and mitigation.
