BusinessOptix:  Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Module

 

Proactively Manage Financial and Operational Governance, Risk and Compliance

Getting governance, risk and compliance (GRC) right is crucially important for the smooth running and existence of organizations. However, GRC can be complex to navigate and implement. While regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), HIPAA, PCI DSS, SMCR and CASS and internal policies, such as IT security, data protection, health & safety and codes of practice each create unique requirements on organizations, the principles of understanding the risk and implementing controls to mitigate or manage them are similar.

BusinessOptix GRC Module uniquely enables executives, risk & compliance, and operational teams to manage GRC by empowering you to:

  • Identify governance, risk and compliance requirements
  • Create, implement and maintain controls
  • Link controls to operational processes
  • Manage breaches or incidents
  • Report to executive and internal audit teams, external regulators and 3rd parties

BusinessOptix End-to-end GRC Capabilities
