GRC to Operational Resilience Readiness Checklist

Is Your GRC Program Actually Supporting Operational Resilience?

Many organizations have invested heavily in Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), yet still struggle to answer critical questions:

• Can we continue delivering critical business services during disruption?
• Do we understand our operational dependencies?
• Are our recovery objectives aligned to impact tolerances?
• Have we tested severe but plausible scenarios?
• Can executives clearly see resilience risks and gaps?

Traditional GRC programs often focus on compliance, controls, and risk registers. Operational resilience requires connecting risks, controls, third parties, technology assets, business processes, crisis response, continuity planning, and recovery capabilities into a single, service-focused operating model.

The OpResONE GRC to Operational Resilience Readiness Dashboard helps organizations assess their current maturity and identify the most important gaps preventing them from achieving operational resilience.
