The Journey from Compliance to GRC
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) helped bring corporate governance into the limelight. Since its enactment in 2002, many organizations have seen that good governance can not only save compliance costs in the short run, but – more importantly – create strategic and competitive value in the long run.

Compliance can be seen as a journey which for many organizations began with SOX compliance. But now, best-in-class organizations are moving beyond pure risk avoidance into the development of a comprehensive Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) strategy. The GRC process helps transform disparate compliance and risk management silos across an organizaton into actionable insight to help make superior enterprise-wide governance a business reality.

As companies inch closer to the next step in the compliance journey, they are beginning to see that they need to leverage technology in order to build a framework that is capable of automating governance best practices and making compliance and risk management activities an inseparable part of their daily business operations.

In the management of hundreds, even thousands, of compliance requirements, an effective enterprise-wide risk management approach ensures that a company's resources are appropriately allocated based on risk exposure. Such an approach diminishes a company's chances of compliance failures and negative surprises.

Certus products provide a central point of coordination for all risk management and compliance activities throughout the enterprise, driving an embedded culture of good governance practices as well as providing executives and senior management with the information needed to maximize performance and their ability to meet the company's strategic goals. Certus™ Risk, Certus™ Compliance and Certus™ Analysis can be used either individually to meet specific requirements or together on the path to our next generation holistic GRC application.
