0:00Three words, one job

GRC stands for governance, risk management and compliance. Three disciplines with one job: keeping security pointed at what the business actually needs.

0:11Governance

Governance is how security is directed and controlled: the policies, the procedures, and a clear owner for every decision about your information.

0:22Risk

Risk management finds, assesses and ranks the threats to your information, so effort goes to what could hurt the business most, not to whatever is loudest.

0:32Compliance

Compliance means meeting the laws, regulations and standards that apply to you, and keeping up as they change. It is also how you prove it.

0:42Better together

Run apart, the three drift: policies nobody tests, risks nobody owns, audits passed on paper. GRC joins them into one programme.

0:53A cycle, not a project

Set clear objectives, write the policies that serve them, assess risk regularly and monitor continuously, so the programme improves instead of going stale.

1:04Everyone’s job

It needs commitment from senior leadership, clear roles from the board down, and people across the organisation who see it as their job too. Start with a department or two, then roll it out.
