GRC Consulting
GRC Framework Design & Setup
For organisations that know they need governance, risk, and compliance discipline but do not know where to start. We establish the foundation end to end.
A credible GRC program starts with structure: who owns governance, how risk is escalated, and how compliance obligations connect to controls and reporting. Without that foundation, audit findings repeat and board packs lack a single source of truth.
Trigarc consulting helps boards and executive teams define a GRC operating model aligned to your sector—banks, SACCOs, insurers, NGOs, and enterprises—rather than copying a generic template that will not survive your next examination.
We sequence the work into assess, design, implement, and sustain so you know what to fix first and what can follow once the core model is in place.
Who this is for
- Institutions building a GRC function for the first time
- Leadership after merger, expansion, or regulator feedback
- Teams replacing ad hoc policies with a coherent operating model
Typical deliverables
- Governance structure and three-lines-of-defence model
- Risk appetite statements and escalation thresholds
- Policy and procedure architecture aligned to your sector
- A prioritised GRC roadmap with clear ownership
Outcome: A defensible GRC operating model your board and regulator can recognise.
How we work
01
Assess
We map your current governance structures, obligations, risks, and controls against the regulators and frameworks that apply to you, then surface the gaps that matter most.
02
Design
We define the operating model: governance roles, risk appetite, policy architecture, control libraries, and reporting lines, sequenced into a practical roadmap.
03
Implement
We help you stand up the frameworks, write the policies, build the registers, and configure Trigarc so the model runs in real tooling rather than spreadsheets.
04
Sustain
We embed the rhythm: train your teams, set review cadences, and prepare your board and regulator reporting so the program keeps working after we step back.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does GRC framework design typically take?
- Most engagements run in phases over several weeks to a few months depending on entity count, regulator scope, and how much documentation already exists. We agree milestones at discovery so you see progress before full implementation.
- Can you align our framework to CBK or SASRA expectations?
- Yes. We map governance and control expectations for banking, cooperative, insurance, and capital markets contexts in Kenya and East Africa, then translate them into roles, policies, and reporting your board can oversee.
