How to get the most value from your GRC program with ServiceNow GRC
The value that a strong, well planned, executed and maintained Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) program can provide a business is limitless—but how do you get there? Consider these steps when creating your business’ GRC solution plan.
Maintenance
A solid GRC program has to be maintained. It’s not enough to just implement it and forget about it. As your business’ objectives morph and change, so too, should your GRC solution. Keeping your GRC program aligned with your current business objectives and strategies will help to ensure optimal performance.
Communication
The importance of communication is often overlooked, but its value to a GRC program is far-reaching. In order for senior management to manage their divisions, and for plans to be followed properly, they have to be aware of what exactly they’re managing. Communicating to leadership in a language they understand – think outcomes-based rather than technical, is essential. Properly curated GRC implementation strategies and plans help keep everyone on track, so they can perform optimally for the success of the program.
Automation
Automation itself comes with a laundry-list of benefits and using GRC technology to automate processes and controls for your GRC solution can reap many of the same benefits. Analysis, reporting and exposure management are just a few of the benefits that automation can provide—all while saving time and money.
Be proactive
Many organizations hesitate to implement a GRC solution, and only do so after something unfortunate happens. A solid GRC solution will grow with your business over time, and therefore, become increasingly valuable. If you don’t have a plan or framework in place yet, but you’ve thought about it, don’t wait! And if you do, keep up with its growth and development.
