eGRC Solutions for Telecommunications

Evaluate risks and protect assets while assuring compliance with SOX, GLBA and FCC mandates.

In a highly competitive market, telecommunications firms are challenged to streamline their processes for reducing organizational risk. The vast telecommunications infrastructure requires a comprehensive approach to risk management that allows the organization to reduce downtime and system outages. Telecommunications providers are looking to shorten the turnaround time for identifying threats, assessing risks and mitigating issues.

These companies also must comply with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and PCI in addition to the regulatory requirements set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Costs associated with demonstrating compliance can be substantial, and companies that can transition the risk and compliance effort into an operational facet of their business will be more successful. The challenge lies in meeting requirements in the context of the business and clearly articulating control infrastructures. Telecommunications firms need an extensible framework to manage control definition, regulatory compliance and enterprise risks with real-time measurement and reporting capabilities.

eGRC Challenges for Telecommunications Firms

• Decentralized policies, controls and risks are captured in multiple tools and systems
• Redundant controls increase complexity and drive overspending on testing activities
• There’s a disconnect between those who set policies and those who must comply
• Limited coordination and communication exists among risk and compliance teams
• It’s difficult to prioritize resources for managing risks, threats and deficiencies across the enterprise
• Regulatory audits are time consuming, unpredictable and stressful
• Lack of visibility of the risk and compliance landscape can lead to poor business decisions
