What Is a Governance Risk and Compliance
Governance risk and compliance (GRC) is a structured approach that helps organizations align business objectives with security controls, risk management, and regulatory obligations.
To define the concept of governance risk management and compliance GRC:
- Governance ensures accountability, policies, and decision-making structures
- Risk focuses on identifying, assessing, and reducing cybersecurity and operational risks
- Compliance ensures adherence to laws, regulations, and industry standards
Effective GRC enables organizations to operate securely, transparently, and in alignment with regional regulations.
