In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving environment of regulations, cyber threats, and operational uncertainties, organizations must establish a strong foundation in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC).

A well-structured GRC strategy is no longer optional—it is essential for ensuring business continuity, security, and financial success.

What is Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

At its core, GRC is a strategic framework that integrates governance structures, risk management, and regulatory compliance to build resilient organizations.

• Governance ensures clear policies, accountability, and decision-making processes.
• Risk Management identifies, assesses, and mitigates internal and external risks.
• Compliance ensures adherence to legal, regulatory, and industry standards.

Governance

Risk Management
Identifying vulnerabilities and assessing risks is critical to business survival. Risk Cognizance provides AI-powered risk assessments, automated monitoring, and real-time insights to mitigate both cyber and operational risks.

Compliance
Staying compliant with evolving regulations is a significant challenge. Risk Cognizance simplifies compliance management by integrating frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, and GDPR into a unified dashboard.

Third-Party Risk Management
Vendor relationships introduce risks that can impact compliance and security. Risk Cognizance provides continuous monitoring, due diligence assessments, and automated vendor risk scoring to ensure third-party partners align with regulatory and security standards.

Dark Web Monitoring
Cyber threats often originate from the dark web, where stolen credentials and sensitive data are traded. Risk Cognizance actively scans and analyzes dark web sources to detect compromised credentials, alert businesses to emerging threats, and prevent data breaches before they escalate.

Attack Surface Management
Understanding and securing the external attack surface is critical in preventing cyberattacks. Risk Cognizance continuously monitors and assesses digital assets, identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations to reduce exposure to external threats.
