Wouldn’t it be great if there were an “easy” button for developing your organization’s governance, risk, and compliance departments? There are several aspects to consider when building out each sector, such as, what kind of control assessments should we have and how often? What kind of approval chain should our policy documents be following? How should we conduct our business impact analyses? Where should we house our asset inventory? How do we tie all of these aspects together? Why is GRC even important?
As the result of several notable cyber-attacks throughout the years, governance, risk, and compliance are factors in the corporate environment that no organization, either big or small, can escape from. The concept of focusing on growth without considering risks is not only impractical but also unsustainable. Too often we see common themes among the victims of cyber-attacks: failures to link development strategy with risk, the lack of oversight for risk management, and the lackadaisical viewpoint on a day-to-day risk. A major problem with most corporations is that their processes involving GRC are spread out amongst several different groups. These groups often fail to share information and wind up having a multiplicity of frameworks and processes. This results in inefficiency and greater exposure to risk across the entire organization. For all these reasons, it is imperative organizations of all sizes recognize the importance of GRC convergence and collaborate across all lines of business to reduce risk and enforce compliance. One of the best ways to achieve this mentality and efficiency is by employing a comprehensive risk management tool such as RSA Archer.
