From GRC to AI GRC: 6 Skills You Already Have (and 4 More You Need to Learn)

November 5, 2025
You already know how to manage risk. Now it's time to manage intelligence. If you’ve worked in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) for any length of time, you’ve seen waves of transformation: cloud computing, automation, privacy reform.

And if you’ve been working in traditional GRC, you’re already well prepared. You just need to apply your existing strengths to a new kind of system: one that learns, evolves, and occasionally surprises you.
