Are you feeling it? Regulatory frameworks (like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR) are getting more demanding in the face of AI. This shift is forcing GRC teams to transition from reactive processes to proactive, data-driven strategies. Here are three key strategies: 1?? Using pre-mapped frameworks for AI controls as a foundation for your organization’s risks and processes 2?? Implementing continuous monitoring to track AI controls in real time 3?? Automating manual tasks like evidence collection and reporting to free up resources At Anecdotes, we’re proud to help businesses turn compliance into a strategic advantage—cutting costs and improving risk posture while lightening the load on overworked teams. Read our guide, Mastering GRC, to learn how businesses across industries can rise to new challenges in 2025: https://hubs.la/Q03bPVY80

GRC professionals know that risk comes before controls, yet too often are forced to settle for performing risk assessments as control activity. ?? And it’s no surprise - the current standard practices for risk assessments are either too simplistic (an impact-likelihood dartboard, if you will ??) or rocket science ??. In our latest blog, Ethan A. offers a new risk assessment methodology that breaks down qualitative risk assessments into smaller “chunks”, which allows each chunk to be analyzed more accurately. ??

One size does NOT fit all in GRC. We asked 564 GRC leaders what they value most in a GRC platform. The #1 answer? Customization. More than half (60%) said the ability to tailor objects, roles, risks, and controls is a must-have. Why? Because rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions can’t keep up with evolving risks, compliance needs, and business realities. At Anecdotes, we’ve always believed GRC should mold to your business—not the other way around. Our highly customizable platform empowers teams to: ? Adapt frameworks to match real-world risk ??Configure policies and controls without workarounds ? Scale GRC without being boxed in This is just one of the key takeaways from our upcoming State of Enterprise GRC Maturity Report, where we dive into the real challenges and priorities shaping the industry. Stay tuned.??? How important is customization in your GRC strategy? Let’s discuss in the comments! #GRC #RiskManagement #Compliance #AnecdotesResearch #Security #EnterpriseGRC #Customization

?? Introducing Automated Risk Calculations ?? Automated risk calculation gives you real-time insight into your risk posture by automatically updating residual risk levels based on changes to your mitigating controls. How does it work? 1?? Set up a risk by determining the inherent risk level, linking the relevant mitigating controls and defining the residual risk level.? 2?? Determine the weight of each mitigating control on the residual risk level. 3?? Get updated residual risk levels whenever a change in a mitigating control triggers a recalculation.
