Business Stakeholders

The key to any successful business is making sure the organization understands its mission and executes successfully on that mission. IT Operations, Security Operations, and Security GRC professionals all work to help the business accomplish that mission. A critical objective for the Security GRC professional is understanding how their tasks fit into the overall strategy. As a result, GRC professionals must develop communication and collaboration skills that help them work alongside business partners, identify opportunities to improve security posture and support business objectives.

In the past, security professionals were saddled with the reputation of playing a binary role in business processes --- making decisions about whether something is or is not secure. Today’s security professionals are really expected to help businesses find solutions that remain secure but help drive business goals forward.
