What is Cybersecurity GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance)?
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) refers to the integrated approach to managing cybersecurity risks, establishing governance frameworks, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. For charities and non-profits, maintaining effective GRC is essential in protecting sensitive data, ensuring operational security, and complying with legal standards like GDPR.
Why GRC is Critical for Charities
Charities often handle sensitive donor and beneficiary information, making them prime targets for cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity GRC ensures that your charity:
- Establishes Effective Governance: Implement policies and procedures to manage cybersecurity risks.
- Manages Risks Proactively: Identify, assess, and prioritize risks that could impact your organization.
- Ensures Regulatory Compliance: Stay aligned with laws and regulations, such as GDPR, to avoid fines and reputational damage.
