Course Curriculum

Introduction to GRC: The Foundation of Governance, Risk, and Compliance
This lesson introduces the foundational principles of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) in clear, practical terms. Rather than focusing on technical frameworks, students will first understand what GRC means at a business level and why it exists within modern organizations. Learners will explore how governance guides decision-making, how risk is identified and evaluated, and how compliance ensures accountability to laws, regulations, and standards. The lesson also explains how GRC connects leadership, security teams, and business operations.
