A Unified GRC Layer within the NEXIS Platform

NEXIS GRC is the governance, risk, and compliance layer within the NEXIS Platform. It brings together the capabilities previously associated with QSEC and connects them with analytics, identity-related risk visibility, and shared platform services in one modular environment.

This gives organizations a more consistent foundation for:

governance and compliance management
enterprise and cyber risk management
third-party risk oversight
information security management
audit management
business continuity management

In the end, NEXIS GRC (former QSEC) was convincing in the cost-benefit analysis and in terms of scalability as a single-source tool. QSEC supports the dissemination of a uniform understanding of processes. The system acts as a central platform in which all business processes are recorded.
