Scaling compliance: How financial institutions can reduce risk with integrated GRC

Description

As regional banks and insurers grow, they quickly face increasing regulatory demands — but many lack the foundational infrastructure to respond with speed, alignment, and confidence. Risk and compliance programs often evolve in silos, resulting in slow, costly change management and increased exposure to compliance gaps and penalties.
In this panel webinar, we will share how to build an integrated, scalable foundation for managing the evolving regulatory landscape and enterprise risk. Learn how aligning these functions from the start creates clarity, improves visibility, and strengthens your organization’s overall risk posture.
We’ll explore common pitfalls, including fragmented systems and manual processes, and share strategies for creating a unified approach powered by connected data, shared workflows, and AI-enabled insights — all within a modern, flexible platform. Whether you’re just getting started or reevaluating your current program, this session will equip you with practical guidance for what comes next.
