GRC Strategy, Process, & Technology Seminar . . . 

Join Corporate Integrity, LLC in a two-day interactive training exercise in GRC Strategy, Process, and Technology.  Attendees receive value in understanding GRC and defining processes and strategy that aligns to OCEG’s GRC Capability Model. This seminar is authorized and endorsed by OCEG 

The objective of the seminar is to provide attendees with the knowledge necessary to efficiently design and enhance GRC activities across the business based on the GRC Capability Model.   Attendees learn about defining a GRC strategy and associated processes through lectures and practical group interaction, discussions, and exercises.

At the heart of the seminar is the OCEG GRC Capability Model™.
