What Constitutes a GRC Program?
Governance, risk and compliance or GRC programs are complex – an organization has to use its GRC program to address the regulatory requirements expected of, among
others, the following:
Enterprise Risk Management
COSO Internal Controls
Environmental Compliance (EPA rules)
Anti Trust
Anti Money Laundering
Anti Bribery/Corruption
Quality Management and Standards such as ISO 9000, 9001
Process Management such as Six Sigma
Anti Harassment
Human Capital
Whistle-blowing
HR Processes
The areas listed above are just few of those that come under the purview of a robust GRC program.
Why Audit a GRC Program?
Given the complex nature of regulations around the world today and the increasing risks of doing business, it is important that the GRC program in an organization is
audited frequently. Most of the lapses in corporate governance occur due to outdated GRC programs that have not been audited and updated to reflect the current
regulatory environment.
Internal audits of GRC programs allow management and the board to identify risks and areas that need strengthening and root out any non-compliance.
An audit can help evaluate the adequacy of the program’s design and effectiveness as well as new practices and technologies to be implemented.
Audits of the GRC program have to be carried out periodically – these should supplement an ongoing, daily evaluation of the effectiveness of the program, including
monitoring of controls and responses.
Internal Audit Process – The General Steps:
Define evaluation scope, objectives, and the type of evaluation.
Define the level and type of assurance
Identify the evaluation team and skills required.
Develop evaluation plan.
Perform design adequacy evaluation.
Perform operational effectiveness evaluation.
Communicate evaluation results and ensure follow-up to address issues.
The document defines harassment as unwelcome verbal or physical conduct based on protected characteristics that results in a tangible employment action or creates a hostile work environment.

The document provides examples of sexual harassment and advises reviewing anti-harassment policies, complying with anti-discrimination laws, knowing how to respond to issues, and reporting harassment immediately. It recommends online training resources on these topics.
What is Information Security?

Integrity: It ensures that information remains intact and unaltered. Any changes to the information through malicious action, natural disaster, or even a simple innocent mistake are tracked.
Availability: This means that the information is accessible when authorized users need it.

Theft of confidential information by hacking
System sabotage by hackers
Phishing and other social engineering attacks
Virus, spyware and malware
