Beyond Audit: How leading organizations are connecting audit, risk, compliance, and cyber

Learning Objectives:

• Understand why organizations are moving beyond audit-centric GRC models toward a more connected approach spanning risk, compliance, cyber, and assurance.
• Identify the key market and operational drivers behind the convergence of audit, internal control, compliance, cyber, and risk management functions.
• Recognize what to look for in GRC platforms and architectures that enable integration, shared intelligence, and cross-functional visibility.
• Evaluate practical steps to connect assurance, resilience, and risk oversight across the enterprise to support better decisions and stronger business outcomes.

For years, audit has been the primary entry point for many organizations adopting GRC technology. But the market is changing. Organizations increasingly need connected visibility across audit, compliance, cyber, internal control, and risk functions, rather than separate systems and siloed workflows.

In this webinar, Michael Rasmussen will explore how the market is evolving beyond audit-centric programs and what that means for organizations trying to build a more integrated approach to governance, risk, compliance, and assurance. The session will examine why this shift is happening now, how leading platforms are broadening beyond their legacy strengths, and what organizations should look for as they connect assurance, risk, and resilience across the enterprise.

Attendees will gain insight into how organizations are moving from isolated audit management toward a more connected architecture that brings together assurance, risk intelligence, compliance oversight, cyber resilience, and internal control. Michael will also address the practical market dynamics driving this transition, including changing buyer expectations, growing pressure for shared data and analytics, and the need to support business decisions with a more holistic view of risk and integrity across the enterprise.
