Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a comprehensive concept that describes the processes and policies designed for risk management, regulatory compliance, and information security protection within an organization.

The goal is to integrate three areas: risk management, legal and regulatory compliance, and information security criteria.

The process includes continuous risk assessment, evaluating the outcomes and performance of compliance policies, and implementing various controls (technological, administrative, etc.) to manage information security in an organized and efficient manner.
