Better ways to do assurance
What is GRC Engineering?
Traditional GRC often relies on documents, spreadsheets, screenshots, questionnaires, and manual workflows. Those tools still have a place, but the systems we govern have become faster, interconnected, and increasingly automated.
How can we make assurance work more like the technology we're trying to assure?
- 01Build Automations
Reduce manual work with repeatable technical workflows.
- 02Show Evidence
Make assurance observable and verifiable.
- 03Repeat Continuously
Keep assurance current as systems, risks, and requirements change.
This means building assurance into the way systems actually operate, rather than treating GRC as a separate exercise performed after the work is done. Sometimes that means code, an API, better data, or a redesigned workflow. Sometimes it still means a human making a judgment. The goal is to think like an engineer about assurance problems and make the work more repeatable, observable, and useful.
