What is GRC?
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a structured approach to aligning an organization’s information security infrastructure with overall business objectives while effectively managing risks and meeting compliance requirements.
Broken down, governance is the set of policies, rules, or frameworks used to achieve various business goals (governance also defines the responsibilities of key leadership such as the board of directors and senior management), risk management helps organizations identify risks and address them accordingly, and compliance applies to legal and regulatory requirements set by governing bodies (as well as internal corporate policies).
Why is GRC Important?
By implementing proper governance, risk, and compliance procedures, organizations can enhance transparency, accountability, and decision-making, ultimately leading to an improved security posture. GRC frameworks provide a structured approach to aligning these functions, enabling organizations to operate efficiently, ethically, and in accordance with all necessary regulatory requirements.
