SITC is delighted to announce that the iGRC Consortium (a consortium comprised exclusively of SITC Members) has recently secured funding from the Technology Strategy board (TSB) and South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) for a £1.7m R&D project to develop an innovative model for integrated Governance, Risk and Compliance (iGRC).
The iGRC Consortium is led by Information Governance Ltd and includes HP Enterprise Services (previously EDS), Assuria and Nexor, and the Universities of Cranfield, Loughborough and London (Birkbeck College). The project will develop and demonstrate the integration of Information Governance’s Proteus Enterprise GRC management product with Assuria, Nexor and other network sensor technologies.
SITC played a significant role in nurturing the development of the ideas behind the iGRC concept through its Governance, Risk and Compliance Special Interest Group (GRC SIG). Many of the key ideas for the project were first revealed at the GRC SIG's Inaugural Event in September 2008. SITC and the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) then jointly funded a Consultation and Demonstration event in January 2009 to develop and refine the initial concept. The iGRC Consortium bids for Technology Strategy Board and SEEDA R&D funding were also developed with the active support of SITC.
