Embedding GRC into corporate culture


Johannesburg, 10 Feb 2014

With the ever-changing environment in which business is conducted, it is more important than ever to ensure that information is protected and risk is minimised. Information has become the lifeblood of the modern organisation; information drives business. Without it, business dies.

This is further displayed by the growing number of high-profile information security breaches around the world. This is not a problem which is only resident in industrialised nations, but it is relevant to everyone, specifically those in developing nations. These breaches cost millions and can destroy your organisation.

In recent times across our continent, there has been an explosion of Internet connectivity and accessibility; thus exposing more and more new global Internet users. These advances have brought about great opportunity, but along with it is the rise of even greater risk and potential for exploitation. This risk is to be felt both for the new unsophisticated individual user, and specifically, for the users within corporate or governmental organisations. There are ever-changing risks and ever-changing strategies to get users to part with sensitive information. It is essential that these risks are mitigated in a systematic manner.[FCS]
