Name:	Governance, Risk & Compliance Defined
Product URL:	http://www.archer-tech.com/solutions/grc_defined.html
Description:	Every business has unique processes, but commonalities in governance, risk and compliance programs span across industries. Over the last seven years, Archer has worked closely with our Fortune 1000 clients in the financial services, telecommunications, retail, technology and healthcare industries (among others) to understand how they approach governance, risk and compliance. Through our ongoing client consultations, we have discovered that: * Each company approaches GRC processes with unique methodologies, although the basic elements of their processes are largely the same. * Every organization is at a different stage in the lifecycle of deploying a GRC program. * Businesses need to consolidate, classify and analyze complex data from multiple sources and use that information to plan, prioritize and execute simultaneous activities. * Companies need a consistent framework for integrating GRC initiatives and for expanding their program to automate and manage processes that may be unique to their organization. * Every business needs to report on the results of their GRC efforts across their enterprise. With these commonalities in mind, Archer has developed the following criteria for an effective governance, risk and compliance program: * Governance Achieving a culture of corporate governance involves: o Understanding the objectives you want to achieve and the regulations and standards with which you must comply o Authoring policies and controls based on your corporate objectives and the authoritative sources that govern your business o Ensuring policy and control awareness among all company stakeholders * Risk Effective risk management involves: o Evaluating potential risks to achieving your corporate objectives based on risk likelihood and impact o Managing the remediation or acceptance of assessment findings to reduce risk to a tolerable level according to your organization’s risk appetite o Giving your executive leadership and board of directors clear visibility into key risk indicators, the status of assessment efforts and your organization’s risk profile * Compliance Successful compliance management involves: o Evaluating the effective design and operation of your internal controls, which you can accomplish through self-assessments, test plan execution, and integration with third-party scanning tools o Generating deficiencies for non-compliant control activities, mapping those deficiencies to polices, regulations and risks, and resolving them through remediation or waivers o Reporting the results of compliance efforts to your executive leadership, governance board and external regulators
