PrintMailRate-it

​​​​​​​​​​​​The integration of digital Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance tools (dGRC tools) has evolved from a convenient option to a necessity in our information-intensive and regulatory-complex work environment.


These system components enable organizations to adhere precisely to requirements while simultaneously promoting operational efficiency. Particularly in the face of ongoing digitalization and the associated risks, dGRC tools prove to be essential instruments for establishing prescribed business processes within an organization and complying with regulatory demands.

 RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RMS)

Risk management systems ​are embedded in strategic corporate management and follow a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and managing risks. These systems significantly contribute to operational performance and the achievement of organizational goals by enabling continuous monitoring of risks and subsequent adjustments to risk mitigation measures.

 INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM (ICS)

As a fundamental pillar of corporate governance, internal control systems ensure a unified framework for executing business processes in compliance with internal guidelines and external regulations. Effective internal control systems are based on appropriate and efficient control activities for each business process. They not only reduce risks but also enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness by adhering to legal requirements and standards.

 Compliance Management System (CMS)

Compliance management systems are indispensable for ensuring corporate adherence to existing legal and regulatory requirements. A CMS encompasses rules and guidelines for management, culture, and processes to ensure compliance and to identify, assess, and monitor related risks for a company. A functional CMS reduces existing compliance risks and helps companies meet necessary regulatory obligations.

 Data Trustee

The term “Data Trustee" describes a concept for handling sensitive and confidential data. Data Trustees act as an independent trust entity in data management, ensuring the security, processing, and integrity of confidential information. This serves as a foundation for dGRC tools to comply with governance, risk, and compliance standards. Maintaining data integrity and security strengthens trust in digital data exchange and facilitates smooth communication.


In summary, dGRC tools play an indispensable role in achieving regulatory compliance, minimizing risks, and optimizing operational performance in companies. These system components are integral parts of today's work environment, enabling organizations to design their work processes effectively, meet regulatory requirements, and strengthen their competitiveness in a competitive landscape.​
