Why Maturity Matters: Overcoming GRC Cognitive Overload with the Maturity Model

December 8, 2024

Please join Kayne McGladrey, author of the GRC Maturity Model and Cheri Hotman as they explore the GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) Maturity Model, a powerful tool for organizations to assess and enhance their cybersecurity practices. Achieving maturity in GRC is crucial for navigating complex regulatory landscapes and boosting overall effectiveness. Through self-assessments, organizations can identify their maturity level and progress through four stages of development. This not only enhances customer assurance but also aligns with the SEC’s 2025 priorities of improving disclosures, which should have a byproduct of reducing liabilities for CISOs. Embracing the GRC Maturity Model can streamline sales cycles, simplify attestations, and improve risk communication. While it’s not a cure-all, focusing on these capabilities can drive significant business value and prepare companies for future challenges.
