- The GRC platform provided a standardized risk assessment framework, ensuring consistency and accuracy in risk evaluations.
- Automated risk reporting and alerts allowed for timely risk mitigation actions.
- Compliance:
- Automated compliance tracking was implemented to monitor changes in regulations across different jurisdictions.
- The system generated compliance reports, reducing the manual effort required for audits.
