What is GRC?

GRC stands for Governance, Risk, and Compliance and is a growing need within organizations of all shapes and sizes. The mission of GRC is to create and protect value for companies by managing risk, meeting compliance, and aligning IT with business objectives. GRC practitioners are versatile professionals who use six GRC disciplines: governance, risk, audit, compliance, ethics, and IT.

Working closely with other GRC specialists, they aim to reliably achieve company objectives (GOVERNANCE), address uncertainty (RISK), and act with integrity (COMPLIANCE).

Your skills are in demand in today’s GRC environment

The stakes have never been higher for companies and their stakeholders.

Risks presented by climate change, economic turbulence, ransomware attacks, and a heightened regulatory environment are just a few of the situational threats facing companies today. To meet these challenges, the GRC industry has adopted a protector mindset vs. the reactive, siloed stance of yesterday. Organizations of all shapes and sizes are seeking disciplined professionals with ingrained leadership skills, the ability to make and support fast decisions, eliminate siloes, and collaborate across many departments.

A future-proof career in the private sector

Making the decision to move from military life to the private sector is an important one. Many service members weigh the pros and cons of military service, which offers career stability, against life in the private sector. Consider a career in GRC. A GRC career in private industry can offer an opportunity to earn a higher salary, control your own upward mobility, and settle down geographically.

OCEG makes it easy to transfer your skills and get certified in GRC

Every year, 200,000 service members transition from the military to the civilian workforce. Most of these transitioning service members have hundreds of hours, and several years of practical experience and application of training related to governance, risk, compliance, audit, and data security. We understand that translating these valuable skills to the private sector can be a challenge.
