UCF Common Controls Hub
Innovation for Compliance Management
[tabs style=”default”] [tab title=”Executive Summary”]
GRC professionals spend significant time and resources researching which mandates they must follow and struggling to keep up with new requirements. And it’s difficult to understand how new mandates are connected with the controls already in place. Consequently, each mandate is often managed separately even though many tasks and regulatory demands are redundant across multiple requirements. The result is missed requirements, wasted time, and accelerated costs. The Unified Compliance Framework®’s (UCF®) Common Controls Hub™ is a GRC intelligence solution that GRC 20/20 has researched, evaluated, and reviewed with organizations that are using it in changing, distributed, and dynamic business environments. Built on the UCF, the Common Controls Hub enables organizations to scope, define, and maintain regulatory demands online in minutes to dramatically improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and agility of their GRC program as well as business operations. GRC 20/20 has evaluated and verified the innovation found in the Common Controls Hub and sees this as a compelling offering for compliance management in the context of regulatory change that will advance GRC technology and make organizations more efficient, effective, and agile. In this context, GRC 20/20 has recognized Unified Compliance’s Common Controls Hub with a 2015 GRC Innovation Award for the best innovation in Compliance Management in 2015.
