Leveraging GRC for Better Business Continuity Planning

Business continuity planning (BCM) today must create systems of prevention and recovery to deal with potential threats to a company that go beyond data recovery. Be it physical damage from massive weather events or terrorism, financial difficulty from unexpected economic events, or data and operational disruption from cyber-attacks or technological failure, the impacts can rapidly snowball to catastrophic levels. The need to plan for business operations and services to continue uninterrupted in the face of a catastrophic event is greater than ever before. Doing so requires coordination of risk management, compliance and internal controls across the extended enterprise – the very activities that are the center of GRC capabilities.

In the webcast “Leveraging GRC for Better Business Continuity Planning,” we address the ways forward-thinking organizations leverage GRC processes and technologies to support a more mature and effective BCM capability.
