Successfully combining Information Technology Governance, Risk, and Compliance (ITGRC) requirements is essential in today's digital business environment. Traditional approaches to managing these functions, with isolated and sometimes manual processes and systems, are proving insufficient as regulatory frameworks and the needs of organisations and stakeholders increase and cybersecurity threats continue to evolve.

Fragmented approaches often fail to fully meet the expectations of Boards and Executive managers in relation to ITGRC obligations and the support of timely, strategic, and tactical decision-making. They may also fail to meet the needs of external stakeholders including regulators, customers, and partner organisations.

ITGRC supports the identification and management of cyber risks and incidents, compliance with regulatory obligations, alignment to international security frameworks as well as guiding decision-making around IT-related strategy and investments. By proactively managing and integrating these aspects, ITGRC fosters a secure, compliant, and resilient environment, allowing your business to operate with confidence and agility in the face of ever-evolving digital challenges.

Effective ITGRC Solutions

Effective GRC solutions cover all aspects of identifying, assessing, monitoring, and reporting on IT-related risks, incidents, compliance obligations, and associated audits. There should be clear points of integration between modules to ensure data can be shared where needed, e.g. controls linked to risks, incidents, and compliance obligations; risks linked to other risks, compliance obligations, and incidents, and so on. They should have a streamlined user interface with mobile device options that make it quick and easy to enter data and provide updates for items such as incidents, control assessments, and treatment actions.

Key features should include:

IT and Cyber Risk Management: Technology solutions should offer dynamic risk and control registers, automated workflows for assessments and reviews, and alignment with cybersecurity frameworks such as ISO 27001 and 27002, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC2, Essential Eight. Capability should include Third-Party risk management assessment.

IT and Cyber Incident Management: Prompt reporting and resolution of IT incidents are regulatory requirements for some industry sectors and vital for any organisation. GRC software should provide custom workflows, automated notifications, and dashboard reporting for rapid response.

Compliance with Data Privacy and Cyber Security Regulations: Adhering to data privacy laws is non-negotiable for all organisations. In addition, organisations deemed critical infrastructure are required to meet a number of ITGRC-related obligations. Automated compliance tools aid in capturing the regulations and associated obligations and tracking the organisation’s compliance status, with the capability to generate and track mitigating actions where and when required.

ITGRC Audits: Auditing is an integral part of ITGRC, and software capability should include meeting the different types of audit requirements, be it against cybersecurity frameworks, external or internal compliance obligations, risks, and so on. Audit recommendations need to be easily converted to actions that can be monitored and reported in easily accessible user interfaces.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery: Planning for business continuity minimises downtime in disruptions. GRC tools should enable the development, testing, and implementation of business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
