What is Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is an integrated approach to managing an organization's cybersecurity strategy, risk exposure, and regulatory obligations. It ensures that security initiatives align with business objectives and compliance requirements.
GRC combines governance structures, Risk Assessment processes, and compliance frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework to create a cohesive security program.
What is GRC used for?
GRC is used to provide visibility into risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and guide strategic decision-making. It enables organizations to prioritize investments, manage Security Posture, and protect Critical Business Assets (CBA).
Security leaders use GRC to integrate cybersecurity into enterprise governance, implement Security Controls, and support continuous improvement through frameworks like COBIT and CTEM.
