Assessing Your GRC Solution

Assessing your GRC solution requires many different perspectives due to the dynamics of most organizations. Dynamics like the current posture, existing and emerging obstacles to meet the organizational goals, distractions from the goals, understanding meaningful risk, or applying cyber security to your operations are common business problems. We apply customized tools and approaches to your unique environment to determine the most viable GRC solution.

Audit & Assessments

Our audits and assessments typically start with a complete Business Impact Analysis (BIA). This helps you – the client – and SimpliGRC understand your critical business activities and guide your Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) program based on business priorities and risks. In completing our activities, we draw on such frameworks and standards as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 22301/27001/27005/310000/38500
  • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework (CSF)
  • Center for Internet Security (CIS18)
  • North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) 
  • Mandatory Reliability Standards (MRS) 
  • Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
  • Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT)
  • Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
  • Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)
  • Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2)

GRC Program Development

To develop a strong GRC program, SimpliGRC starts by assessing your organization’s current state of seven primary components.

Using the assessment results, SimpliGRC will recommend leveraging a standard framework (e.g., ISO, NIST, COBIT, etc.) to build a GRC program that ensures governance and risk are effectively aligned and managed and meets all compliance requirements.

Enterprise & Operations Risk Management

In assessing and recommending improvements, SimpliGRC evaluates the ERM elements:

  • Integration across the organization
  • Structured and comprehensive
  • Customized to fit the organization culture
  • Inclusive of all stakeholders
  • Dynamic to changes in opportunities and risk
  • Uses the organization’s best available information


Using these assessment results and in consultation with the organization’s leadership, SimpliGRC will develop a  comprehensive plan for improving enterprise and operations risk management.

Every organization experiences short resource constraints – especially when developing and implementing new solutions and programs.

SimpliGRC can alleviate those constraints by providing temporary, experienced leadership and support personnel to help build your internal resources while ensuring your program development and implementation progresses efficiently and successfully.
