Governance Risk Compliance
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The discipline of aligning security governance, risk assessment, control ownership, and compliance obligations into a coordinated management program. Governance, risk, and compliance work is less about one tool than about how an organization documents, measures, and enforces accountability.
In plain English: The organized management of security rules, risks, and compliance obligations.
Example: "The security team could not scale audits until governance risk compliance processes were standardized across business units."
