Introduction

Digital transformation enables organizations to use advanced digital technologies to improve speed and business agility and make risk-informed decisions. This can transform organizational structures, processes, and service/product offerings in the modern business world.

But digital transformation comes with many possibilities and concerns.

Possibilities Vs Concerns

Possibilities

Businesses can run efficient and streamlined operations with automation and AI-driven processes, and deliver improved customer experience through personalization, enhanced customer service, and more. They can cut costs, increase efficiency, and improve overall business performance.

They can innovate and create new products/services to meet the changing needs of customers and quickly adapt to changing market conditions and customer demands. Also, with improved data accuracy and security, organizations can protect customer information and prevent data breaches.

Concerns

Modern businesses deal with serious risks and concerns every day. Think about the possible effects of brand and reputation damage, productivity issues, fragmented tools, systems, and processes, business disruption, technology breaches, and employee safety issues. Extreme weather, the rising expense of complying with the increasing number of international compliance rules, supply chain disruption, and global pandemics are some of the risks that are harder to control.

The restrictions put in place by many governments to tackle the spread of COVID-19 in the last two years have created an uptick in online activity – from remote work to virtual engagement. With the proliferation of cloud-based applications, mobile devices, social media, and emerging cybersecurity threats, organizations must be able to manage their data and ensure it is being used securely and responsibly.

An expert ServiceNow Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Implementation Partner can help you take control of the challenges mentioned above to achieve your organizational goal.

Relation Between Digital Transformation & GRC Automation

Digital transformation and GRC automation are closely related. Digital transformation focuses on improving customer experience and creating more efficient and cost-effective processes. GRC is a framework designed to help organizations effectively manage risk, ensure compliance with regulations, and maintain a high standard of corporate governance. GRC automation creates a system for controlling, monitoring and managing processes.

Additionally, organizations can use digital transformation to create a more customer-centric environment while ensuring that all processes and activities are compliant with industry regulations and standards.

By ensuring that potential risks are identified and managed, organizations can ensure that they remain compliant with data protection and privacy regulations. This is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic, as organizations are shifting to increased remote working and need to ensure that their data is secure.

Need For Governance, Risk & Compliance Automation

The need for GRC is compounded by the need for accelerated digital transformation. To adopt modern technologies to remain competitive in the digital economy, organizations must be able to implement GRC processes to ensure that their digital transformation efforts are compliant with relevant regulations and standards.
