Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) is an important topic in the worlds of business and technology. The dominant notion of the acronym an integrated approach to the three disciplines of GRC has been ignored by scientific research so far. The research presented in this book for the first time describes GRC integration from a scientific perspective. Both "GRC for IT" (known as IT GRC) and "IT for GRC" (GRC software) are analysed. From literature reviews, surveys and case studies a GRC definition and a high-level process model for integrated GRC in IT management are derived. This book provides useful, practical insights for both academics and professionals dealing with GRC.
