The GRC Mindset
Security Is a Business Function — Not Just a Technical One
Governance answers "WHO"
Who owns risk decisions? Who is accountable for security? How does the board exercise oversight? GRC structures the authority and accountability for security.
Risk answers "WHAT"
What are the threats and vulnerabilities that could cause harm? How likely, how severe? Risk management creates a systematic, evidence-based answer.
Compliance answers "HOW"
How do we demonstrate that our security controls meet regulatory and contractual requirements? Compliance programs operationalize governance and risk decisions.
