growGRC
Internal Controls & Assurance

Rigorous internal control without bureaucracy or spreadsheets

Map Risk and Control Matrices (RCM) across business workflows, automate testing cadence, and deliver continuous audit-ready evidence.

The Root Problem

The symptom: controls that exist on paper but fail in live execution

Over 70% of control breakdowns result not from poor design, but from a total lack of continuous operational monitoring and stale evidentiary support.

Management Architecture

Fragmented Model vs. growGRC Connected Model

Your organization should not rely on disconnected files to demonstrate control and compliance.

Traditional Siloed Management

Isolated PowerPoint, Excel, and email threads

  • •Endless spreadsheets mapping key controls with zero change traceability.
  • •Design and effectiveness testing executed manually with ad-hoc samples.
  • •Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts undetected until fraud or audit findings occur.
  • •Evidence gathered at the last minute via screenshots sent over email.

growGRC Connected Model

Strategy, processes, risks, controls, and audit in sync

  • Centralized, version-controlled Risk and Control Matrices (RCM) mapped by process.
  • Continuous evaluation workflows with structured sampling and remediation plans.
  • Segregation of Duties (SoD) matrix with automated alerts for role conflicts.
  • Immutable evidence repository with timestamps and authorship traceability.

Continuous Control Capabilities

Process-Level Risk & Control Matrices (RCM)

Structure key, preventive, detective, and automated controls mapped directly to specific financial and operational risks.

Design & Operating Effectiveness Testing

Structured testing workflows with assisted sampling, deficiency tracking, and closed-loop remediation plans.

Segregation of Duties (SoD) & Fraud Prevention
