Organizations are under intensifying pressure to govern IT operations and assets, manage IT risks, address IT security exposures, and meet IT compliance obligations. To address these challenges, solutions have evolved over the past decade with varying capabilities and scope. Some of these solutions offer IT GRC as a module in a broader Enterprise GRC platform, while others offer a solution solely focused on IT GRC. Some are specifically focused on IT security risks while others address the range of IT governance and risks.
But what is IT GRC? How is it changing? What should organizations be aware of as they look for solutions today that will also be viable for tomorrow?
