GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance)

External Attack Surface Management (EASM)

GRC is a structured approach to aligning IT with business objectives while effectively managing risk and meeting compliance obligations. It involves establishing and enforcing policies, procedures, and processes to ensure that an organization operates ethically, legally, and responsibly.

Key components of GRC:

  • Governance: Establishing and maintaining a framework of policies, processes, and controls to ensure that organizational activities are aligned with business objectives and ethical principles.

  • Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks that could negatively impact the organization.

  • Compliance: Adhering to relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards.

Challenges in GRC:

  • Complex regulatory landscape: Keeping up with evolving regulations and compliance requirements can be challenging.

  • Siloed operations: GRC activities are often spread across different departments, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistencies.

  • Lack of visibility: Organizations may lack a clear view of their risk profile and compliance status.

  • Manual processes: Relying on manual processes for GRC activities can be time-consuming and error-prone.
