IT-GRC for users is a confusing array of redundant
regulations and overlapping guidance, with products and services claiming to
ease the cost and complexity of the interminable compliance
lifecycle. The compliance lifecycle of assessments, policies and
procedures, controls, audits and remediation is a costly commitment
for covered organizations wrestling with inadequate tools and incomplete
processes. Meanwhile, compliance continues to be the chief driver of
business security spending.
Compliance Research Group helps users struggling with IT-GRC issues to decipher
regulations and make sound investments. An efficient and effective IT-GRC program means knowing
what to do, and how to do it. It requires broad and deep knowledge of the
regulatory environment, IT governance and processes, and management to sift
through layers of confusing and conflicting information to reach the elusive
goal of aligning GRC investment with business strategy. The business risk
of investing too much in IT-GRC can be as high as the risk of under
investing.
