In a recent study by ToggleNow, it was evident that more than half of 
the businesses surveyed had only used 2 or fewer components of 
GRC Access Control, i.e., Access Risk Analysis and 
Emergency Access Management. Further, majority of them are utilizing 
just the out-the-box capabilities. GRC can add various benefits when it 
is functioning correctly and customized to fit in your business.

the right risk matrix
