Whether you’re a start-up or an international conglomerate, a robust Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) program is essential to protect against financial, regulatory, and reputational risks. As the landscape evolves with advanced technologies and regulatory changes, organizations must adopt a proactive and collaborative approach. Effective GRC programs address key questions regarding internal responsibilities, expert involvement, and strategies for mitigating threats. Managing vendor relations, consolidating systems, and aligning to meaningful metrics are crucial. A strong GRC framework requires ongoing revision, adaptation, and commitment from senior leadership to ensure resilience and effectiveness across the enterprise.
