What is Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC)?What is GRC you may ask. GRC is a collection of capabilities which allow organisations to effectively manage their risks and enable them to meet their objectives. How does a company know if they have the right plans in place if they have a major outage / disaster? If they’re working with the right third parties? If they’re complying with standards or regulations? If they’re reducing the risk to their business to an acceptable level? By having the right GRC programme and tools in place. Which is where we come in.
