Governance, Risk and Compliance

Governance, risk, and compliance is a strategy used by businesses and organizations to coordinate these three interdependencies along with the people, processes, and technologies that manage them. Traditionally, governance, risk, and compliance functioned independently within a business or organization but in the early 21^st century, businesses saw the benefits of integrating these areas, including ensuring that their business acts ethically and reducing miscommunication and inefficiencies.

The following are the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) components:

Governance: Business plans and strategies that guide the ethical management of the business by its leadership.
Risk management: The strategy of assessing and identifying risks that could cause losses or harm to the business and taking actions to reduce these risks.
Compliance: Adherence to laws and regulations, industry standards, and best practices.

These three components intersect often in business and integrating these activities allows for more effective wholistic management and collaboration to achieve company goals. At PSM, we can help align your technology goals under the GRC strategy.

Identity and Access Management

One way to strengthen the security of your IT infrastructure is to manage user identity and access to control who can access what data. The goal of identity and access management (IAM) is to ensure that people within a business or organization have access to the right assets and information they need while reducing the risk of unauthorized access. This can be done using specific policies, permissions, software, and cloud services.

Our professionals at PSM can help with identity and access management to ensure that only the right people can access the right data. We can help set up permissions, software, and cloud services to allow the right people access while preventing unauthorized access and fraud.
