What is a GRC, why do I need one?

A Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platform brings together compliance activities into one connected system. Instead of managing risks, controls, incidents and regulatory requirements in multiple spreadsheets or documents, a GRC gives you a single place to record, monitor and report on everything. It helps you improve oversight, reduce duplication, strengthen accountability and make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information. For many organisations, it becomes the backbone of day-to-day risk management.

What modules come with a GRC platform?

calQrisk includes a wide range of modules that cover the full spectrum of governance, risk and compliance. Common modules include:

  • Risks
  • Controls
  • Incidents
  • Complaints
  • Requests
  • Third-Party Management
  • Processes
  • Tasks and Actions
  • Audit Registers (Information, Assets, Obligations and more)
  • Monitoring
  • Reporting and Dashboards
  • Meetings

You can choose the modules that fit your organisation or deploy the full platform for a complete GRC environment.

How long does it take to go live with a GRC?

Go-live is usually fast and straightforward, we talk in terms of day and weeks, not months and years.
