From Reactive to Proactive: Your 2025 GRC Playbook

Start your year right with insights from the risk and compliance expert, Michael Rasmussen from GRC 20/20, joined by Terence Lee and Jared Siddle from Protecht’s North America team.

Risk is moving fast, and the old, siloed approach — managing enterprise risks, IT, business continuity, and vendor risks separately — just doesn’t cut it anymore. It’s time to rethink your strategy. 

In this practical, no-fluff webinar, we’ll show you how to move beyond reacting to risks and start proactively managing them. Think smarter risk management, not just more of it.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• The big fix: How to break down those pesky silos and build a connected, forward-looking risk framework.
• Smarter, not harder: Why shifting from reactive to proactive risk management isn’t just better—it’s essential.
• The right tools for the job: A step-by-step guide to picking and implementing GRC software that works for you.
• Regulations, shmegulations: How to stay ahead of compliance changes while keeping your focus on business goals.

This isn’t just another webinar, it’s a practical guide to making your governance, risk and compliance strategy work harder, faster, and smarter for you in 2025. 

Let’s get ahead of risk together.
