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

Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a strategic approach to managing an organization’s overall governance, enterprise risk management, and regulatory compliance. It enables companies to implement a structured methodology that aligns business objectives with regulations and policies, ensuring that the organization operates within legal and ethical boundaries. With Risk Cognizance, executive management can translate their vision into actionable strategies that GRC specialists—such as Chief Compliance Officers and Risk Managers—can implement effectively across departments.
