      Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) – Frequently Asked Questions

      What is GRC and why does my business need it?

      GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) ensures your cybersecurity program is structured, accountable, and aligned with business goals. It helps reduce operational and regulatory risk while ensuring audit readiness.

      How is GRC different from standard IT security services?
      Standard IT security focuses on day-to-day operations (firewalls, monitoring, incident response). GRC is strategic: it defines policies, roles, controls, and processes to manage risk and maintain compliance across your organization.
      Which industries benefit most from GRC services?
      Any organization handling sensitive data or subject to regulatory oversight can benefit. Common industries include finance, healthcare, law firms, manufacturing, and professional services.
      What frameworks and standards do you align with?

      Onward’s GRC services map to NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, CMMC, SOC 2, and custom frameworks tailored to your business.
