Compliance Management
Brinqa GRC Platform simplifies compliance activities by reducing the time required to conduct audits and lowering the costs associated with today’s largely manual and error prone processes. The automated nature of GRC Platform control testing ensures that compliance data is accurate, that data is collected in a timely manner and that non-compliance issues are remediated in near real-time through GRC Platform’s incident management capabilities. Dash boarding, reporting, and auditing provide documentation on compliance status and can be used to prove that controls are in place and working as designed.
Continuous control automation and monitoring moves companies into the next generation where the effectiveness of their controls systems is enabled through the previously unavailable connection between processes, controls definition, and the IT assets they govern. Brinqa’s comprehensive connector framework provides agent-less connectors for standard IT resources and system management products.

Process Governance
Brinqa GRC Platform addresses the administrative aspects of GRC by documenting policies, processes, and controls, mapping them to the relevant regulations and industry mandates, and obtaining sign-off on awareness providing clarity on specific regulations as they relate to the business – a crucial point given the extreme consequences of non-compliance. Validation of process adherence is conducted through automated testing of the underlying controls combined with automated surveys. When a violation occurs, GRC Platform launches a workflow to manage the incident from creation of the action plan to remediation through audit.

Incident Management
Brinqa GRC Platform provides closed loop incident management for remediation, tracking, and auditing of events. Continuous and automated controls monitoring detects failed controls, process issues, and policy violations in near real-time; robust workflows are launched which notify remediators that action is required, recommend an action plan based on the issue detected, and manage the process of closing the issue while fully documenting the steps taken.

Threat and Vulnerability Management
Developing an all-encompassing, enterprise-wide risk management framework using Brinqa GRC starts with determining threats and vulnerabilities through failed control tests, process issues and policy violations; it continues with the risk classification of an asset, which determines probability and business impact. Risk mitigation plans are created, executed, tracked, and audited within the GRC Platform.
