Unlocking the Elusive Potential of a Unified GRC Program

The old paradigm of risk and compliance management is a recipe for disaster. Organizations have been reactive, depending on manual or point solutions. This means the business becomes extremely fragmented, forced to manage individual efforts that do not relate to a broader risk and compliance strategy. The result is complexity, redundancy, and failure. The lack of integrated and interrelated information framework leads to burden, inefficiency and ineffectiveness as opposed to agility, efficiency and effectiveness of risk and compliance processes from an integrated GRC programs.

GRC systems and processes aim to provide an integrated picture of Governance, Risk, and Compliance information and processes across the business. This requires an integrated view of GRC business process and technology architecture. An intricate relationship of information from across the organization is the heart of a successful GRC technology strategy. All policies, risks, controls, events, requirements, enterprise assets and processes, responsibilities and objectives interrelate and support each other. When managed in silos, each of these areas brings inefficiency to the risk and compliance processes.

This webinar will provide a high-level overview of the GRC reference framework that includes:

• GRC Framework : Conceptualizes the interrelationship of GRC-related information that brings agility, efficiency and effectiveness to the entire organization.
• Enterprise GRC applications: Represents solution areas that span risk and compliance roles and processes that are leveraged across all of them.
• GRC role and process-specific applications: Describes GRC-role specific applications. These are solutions designed for a specific business role or function to accomplish a specific set of tasks.
• MetricStream Enterprise GRC platform: Demonstrates the market leading enterprise GRC platform that is currently being adopted by leading Fortune 500 organizations for managing GRC programs globally
