The term GRC, which stands for Governance, Risk, and Compliance, is a strategy for managing a company’s overall governance structure, enterprise risk management, and compliance with laws and regulations. GRC standardizes with a structured approach to align information security with your business goals and objectives and ensure your organization can effectively manage the overall risks and meet your organization’s compliance requirements.
A well-defined GRC strategy has many benefits, such as transparency, optimizing, and enhancing the decision-making process to meet the organization’s risk profile and business objectives. The GRC framework creates a shared understanding of the critical factors and risk tolerance.
