Throughout the DevSecOps as an aspect of GRC article, I’ll go in-depth on how DevOps can be a key aspect of supporting corporate GRC (governance, risk, compliance) needs. Before diving into implementation steps, it’s important to understand what DevSecOps and GRC are and why they’re more important than ever. In Part 1, I’ll look at why this approach is essential for scaling digital transformation while mitigating risks.

A Perfect Storm: Balancing Innovation With Governance, Risk and Compliance

As the COVID pandemic stretches into the back half of 2020 and beyond, businesses are faced with a barrage of new challenges:

• Supporting remote workforces.
• Addressing customer safety concerns.
• Removing supply chain bottlenecks.
• Ensuring data security.

Unfortunately, the challenges facing businesses today don’t stop here. Digital transformation has largely been fueled by disruption and competition. “Born-digital” companies are fast out-pacing most of the companies who have traditionally dominated the market. More than half of the S&P 500 is expected to be replaced in the next decade, and the average time companies remain on the S&P has fallen from over 30 years in the 1960s to around 12 years today.
