The current economic climate is changing the way companies look at governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Faced with a risk-averse corporate culture and a more complex regulatory environment, many companies are realizing that GRC is more relevant than ever. When risk management and controls are aligned with regulatory requirements and internal policies, organizations benefit from reduced costs, better visibility, and fewer adverse outcomes. However, most companies still grapple with fragmented GRC processes, and unifying them has proven difficult for all but a few organizations.
