What we get asked most about GRC software

When an organisation evaluates Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) software, the same questions keep coming up: how it integrates, how long it takes to go live, what it saves and where the data is kept.

We have gathered the questions we hear most about GlobalSuite® and the answers we give in every meeting. It is for anyone comparing GRC platforms or building the case for one: risk, compliance, security and IT leads.

What's in the guide

1. The platformAPIs to connect with Active Directory, ticketing and monitoring tools, who it is designed for, and company-wide and per-area views.
2. Implementation and returnWhat go-live depends on, where the savings come from and why you do not have to load catalogues before you start.
3. Risks and reportingHow to see the financial and operational impact of risks, from scenario modelling to custom reports.
4. Keeping your data secureWhere data is hosted, how it is encrypted, secure development under OWASP and the certifications held.

What we measured

An internal GlobalSuite Solutions study using client data found 40% time saved by avoiding duplicated effort, a 357% return on investment and 50% more efficiency per year in resource use and reporting.

Talking to the business

Risk managers often struggle to get area heads to feed the risk map. The guide explains how surveys, notifications and reminders keep that information flowing without taking up much of anyone's day.

Security and certifications

Data is hosted in three separate data centres in the European Union, encrypted at rest, with TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 connections. The integrated management system is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, ISO 20000, ISO 37001, UNE 19601 and ENS, and also holds ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 certificates.
