Governance, Risk Management, Commitment (GRC) Strategy and Consulting
Organizations today are confronted with demands for high performance and transparency while facing complicated legal, regulatory, and compliance obligations.
These challenges extend beyond the organization to third-party relationships. Managing enterprise risk, which must include cybersecurity and data privacy risks, is critical to the financial and reputational sustainability for every business.
A strategic enterprise approach to cybersecurity governance and risk management enables leaders to recognize, assess, and manage risk. Good governance requires top leadership commitment to developing the policies, procedures, and objectives that align with and advance strategic business goals - and meaningful metrics help leaders assess the value of cybersecurity governance within their organizations.
-
Cybersecurity governance starts with executive and board leadership that understands the organization’s legal, regulatory, and operational risks. Effective cybersecurity governance is risk-based, holistic, and ensures visibility and accountability throughout the organization. Accordingly, strong cybersecurity governance addresses the people, processes, technology, operations, and culture across the enterprise so that an organization is not only prepared for and mitigates against cyber threats but is resilient when faced with the inevitable. Effective cybersecurity governance is not possible without intentional commitment from the board and executive management and integrated throughout strategic operational goals and objectives.
-
Evidence of strong cybersecurity governance is becoming the price of admission for business engagements. Effective cybersecurity GRC is the foundation for risk management, process improvement, and incident response. Therefore, cybersecurity GRC enables leaders to make informed decisions, and assures leaders that the organization can meet its cybersecurity obligations and is focused on resiliency.
Cybersecurity GRC:
Provides assurance of sound policies and procedures
Ensures that information assets are identified and secure
Increases predictability and reduces uncertainty
Strengthens the organization’s value or share price
Facilitates due diligence for business engagements, merger, or acquisition
Minimizes or protects against liability
Optimizes information security resources
