GRC Programs such as Compliance are high-level applications made up of activities performed by users. They use roles to allow users the appropriate degree of access and can be rafted to specific actions within each program or activity. This enables users to work more effectively by giving them access to only the actions they need to complete their jobs.
By default, several "best practice" programs and activities already exist in GRC Cloud, but they can be edited or removed to the user's liking. In addition, new programs and activities can be added and configured.
