5. The GRC Problem GRC involves many experts in many functional areas
Best-in-class enterprise GRC platforms* take months or years to implement due to the hidden requirement to build the bridge between the vendor’s solution and the company’s compliance architecture, business taxonomy, practices, procedures, and policies.
Once rolled out to segments of the corporate population, GRC content updates require months for the evaluation of alternatives, change impact analysis, governance approval, technical update and testing, and user retraining. We closely follow the GRC group OCEG and appreciate their conclusion that a significant GRC problem is “humans as middleware”. We think that is true because GRC involves many experts and that current GRC tools can’t deal with expertise.
The ITGF is a framework, and that must now be implemented in a GRC platform framework—bridging frameworks is hard work! Finally, once the bridge is designed and built, people are hesitant to modify the bridge without reconvening the team of experts to make sure the full implications of the change are understood.
