Governance, Risk Management and Compliance
How Can BI Techniques & Technologies Help With Your GRC Needs

We'll do our best to clarify (in plain language) this seemingly vague subject area.

The concept of GRC (governance, risk and compliance) can differ based on the organization and the type of governance or risk management that is being addressed. Although each organization may vary slightly, the fact remains that organizations are required to put processes in place to ensure they meet compliance and mitigate risk. These processes are supported by the use of solutions designed to manage compliance initiatives or risk, or that report on the progress, number of violations, or constraints put in place to maintain these solutions. One way organizations are starting to manage initiatives company wide is by deploying dashboards that enable executives and decision makers to see how the organization is performing as a whole as well as by identifying potential issues before they occur.

Dashboard Insight recently spoke with Application Security's Thom VanHorn about the benefits of GRC software solutions, Application Security's recent partnerships, plus the mistakes people make with their database management systems.

Dashboard Insight recently spoke with Modulo's founder, Alvaro Lima, about their GRC product line, why they set up shop in the U.K. recently and what's causing their business to grow in these challenging times.

The merging of governance, risk management and compliance methodologies continues to gain visibility in both business and academic circles. Known as GRC, this tri-partied coalescence of best practices is now starting to get thorough support from business intelligence (BI) vendors around the globe. Much of the BI-centered GRC focus revolves around performance metrics and leading/lagging indictors that are rooted in traditional statistical or data mining-practices. However, there is an increasing proclivity to treat GRC more holistically.

Corporate governance has become a leading topic of attention for senior management, company board members, and shareholders of businesses worldwide. It comes as no surprise then that business intelligence (BI) dashboards are beginning to tackle the complex field of corporate governance from both proactive and reactive perspectives.

Dashboard Insight recently spoke with Gaurav Kapoor about his MetricStream platform, his GRC community and how he's positioned the company to go beyond being a "newcomer leader."

We live in an age where everything we do as individuals is constantly being improved, or automated. Processes are being re-designed to meet each change. However, when we look at the incumbents in the space of business availability and application monitoring, we see those vendors treading water. Innovation in these organisations is as close as the next acquistion.

Risk Management is now a top agenda item for corporate boards, even though there is not always a consistent and correctly structured approach to the handling of risk. As a premium component of corporate governance, the attention given to risk management topics will only increase in this century. Because of this focus, risk management dashboards are gaining prominence, as they attempt to tackle the many dimensions of business risk above and beyond the traditional areas such as legal, market, credit, and asset risk.
