While 2021 might already be a couple of weeks old, the question remains: has your organisation taken the time to look back on 2020 and re-evaluate how prepared it was to support its employees and customers, while continuing to deliver critical services and products during the turbulent times that the COVID-19 pandemic brought on? 

We don’t need to channel our inner historian to chart the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) timeline. While organisations have been governed, and risk and compliance managed, for as long as we can remember, the GRC acronym is still a relatively modern-day approach – first entering the common vernacular in 2003. Fast-forward four years and the fledgling concept began shifting through the gears, when the first academic paper on the subject was written by OCEG founder Scott Mitchell and published in the International Journal of Disclosure and Governance – a ground-breaking moment that solidified the three elements and influenced an entire market of software and services.

Camms Group – a leading provider of integrated risk management technology – is proud to announce its membership on the OCEG (formerly the Open Compliance and Ethics Group) GRC Solutions Council. Camms’ ability to develop, implement and support integrated solutions in risk, strategy, projects and people, makes its addition to this global GRC think tank and community an exciting one – providing them with a platform to educate the market and help their fellow council members manage their GRC requirements more effectively.
