Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) in cybersecurity involves managing and ensuring that an organization’s security practices align with regulatory requirements, risk management strategies, and governance frameworks. GRC helps organizations identify, assess, and mitigate security risks, while ensuring compliance with laws, standards, and policies. Key activities include:
- Governance: Establishing policies, procedures, and controls for cybersecurity.
- Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and prioritizing security risks.
- Compliance: Ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
Tools used in GRC include RSA Archer, LogicManager, and RiskWatch for managing policies, audits, and risk assessments.
