Case Study: Achieving Compliance Efficiency for a Venture Capital Organization with Risk Cognizance GRC Platform
Overview:
A large venture capital organization, managing six subsidiaries, faced significant compliance challenges due to varied regulatory requirements across its business units. The organization had one Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) responsible for overseeing all compliance activities, supported by a small team of only two individuals. Traditionally, ensuring comprehensive compliance for all subsidiaries was projected to take 1.5 years and would have required three additional resources to meet the board’s timeline. The organization turned to the Risk Cognizance GRC Platform to streamline and automate the process, ultimately achieving full compliance within six months and saving an average of $400,000 per year on additional resources.

This reduced the projected workload significantly and eliminated the need for three additional hires, resulting in cost savings of approximately $400,000 annually. The CISO and their small team were able to focus on strategic initiatives, enhancing the organization’s overall security and operational efficiency.
Conclusion: Risk Cognizance’s Multi-Tenant Architecture and comprehensive suite of automated tools provided the venture capital organization with the capability to fast-track compliance efforts, reduce resource strain, and achieve substantial cost savings.
