What Does GRC Mean?

GRC is formally referenced as “a capability to reliably achieve objectives while addressing uncertainty and acting with integrity.” To practitioners in cybersecurity, GRC tools are defined as a measurable apparatus for observing policies, regulations, foreseeable issues within an organization, and procedures to manage that entity as a whole.

• Governance: This involves establishing clear leadership, policies, and procedures for managing cybersecurity. It ensures everyone in the organization understands their role in protecting information assets.
• Risk Management: This focuses on identifying potential cyber threats and vulnerabilities, assessing their likelihood and impact, and implementing mitigating controls.
• Compliance: This ensures the organization adheres to relevant laws and regulations regarding data privacy and security.
