Executive Summary
Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) describes an approach that emerged in the early 2000s as a response to the increasing complexity of managing corporate governance, risk and regulatory compliance, especially following high-profile corporate scandals and the subsequent tightening of regulations. Initially, GRC solutions were disparate systems focused on specific areas such as compliance management and risk assessment. However, the need for a more integrated approach has driven innovation in the more effective leveraging of GRC software to support the unification of these functions.
