Compliance, in the context of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), involves adhering to laws, regulations, guidelines, and specifications that are relevant to your business. It serves as the backbone of effective business operations, ensuring that organizations operate within legal confines and maintain a positive reputation among regulators, investors, and the public.
