Integrated Digital Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Transition your risk management programs from reactive and tactical to proactive and strategic
Risk and Compliance programs are perceived as time consuming, manually intensive, check-the-box exercises with limited business value. Duplicative programs create risk management fatigue that prevents strong risk cultures from taking root and impedes risk identification from adapting with the rapidly changing risk landscape.
With risk management and compliance data and processes scattered across multiple systems in unstructured formats, risk managers struggle to put the necessary pieces together to make risk-informed business decisions aligned with strategy and linked to performance.
From strategy through execution, the goal of Integrated Digital GRC is to help our clients envision, design, launch and manage enterprise GRC and digital integrated Risk Management/compliance reporting and monitoring solutions.
Successful GRC programs
The success of a company’s GRC program requires proper deployment by:
- Developing a strategy, program governance, aligned taxonomy and program vision around enabling and integrating a GRC ecosystem
- Selecting and defining an approach to automate various risk and compliance programs
- Implementing a defined technology strategy which could include implementing GRC technology or implementing an ecosystem enabled by various risk and compliance technologies through an interconnected service hub model
From a Siloed Approach to Integrated Risk Management: A consistent framework that aligns risk & control functions around a common operating model & standards
From Fragmented Data & Technology to Enterprise Technology & Analytics: Workflow-enabled risk management with built-in integration points, shared outputs & centralized risk data stores
From Onerous & Administrative to Optimized & Value-add: Harmonized data model that provides the right information to the right stakeholders at the right time to inform business decision-making & eliminate redundancy
From Reactive & Tactical to Proactive and Strategic: A shared transformation vision that imagines the digital future of work and drives a structured, long-term innovation strategy
