Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) gives organizations the confidence and tools they need to run their businesses without violating regulatory boundaries. Integrated GRC is a broader, enterprise-wide approach that empowers organizations to monitor, manage, and act on various risks in real-time.
GRC integration is required in every organisation because stakeholders expect a high level of transparency, accountability, and performance. Regulations are constantly changing in an unpredictable manner, and a lack of risk
identification has serious consequences.
Many firms, however, do not have well defined GRC projects or have a propensity to underfund them. Organisations need to become more resilient and be proactive in anticipating
disruptions if they want to survive and continue to provide value. Enhancing risk visibility, coordinating GRC activities with business priorities, and offering proactive insights that empower businesses to act quickly
and decisively should be the main goals of the business case for GRC.
