GRC Program Design and Implementation
Build a GRC program that actually drives decisions
Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) isn’t just a framework - it’s the system that links your cybersecurity investments to real business outcomes. At Hive Systems, we design GRC programs that align with your company’s mission, risk tolerance, and regulatory demands. Whether you’re building from the ground up or rearchitecting a fragmented system, we help CISOs, CIOs, and CEOs develop governance that leads to action.
We don’t believe in bloated compliance exercises. Our approach focuses on clear ownership, risk transparency, and operational accountability - all integrated into a modern cybersecurity program.
Designed around your business, not just frameworks
While we map to frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA, our first step is understanding how your business works. Every program is customized to your industry, tech stack, and internal processes.
Your GRC program will include:
Clearly defined governance roles and responsibilities
Structured risk identification and scoring processes
Control mapping across internal and external requirements
Board-level and operational reporting models
Risk ownership and escalation pathways
Whether you’re in finance, critical infrastructure, SaaS, or government contracting, we build GRC systems that fit how you work.

From risk owners to control champions
Governance without accountability doesn’t work. That’s why we embed risk ownership into every program we build. Our playbooks define how cybersecurity responsibilities flow from the C-suite to operations, ensuring that policies are enforced, controls are tested, and risks are managed continuously.
We also support:
Cross-functional GRC committee structures
Role-based control assignment and training
Quarterly control review cadences
Issue tracking and remediation oversight
We don’t just design your GRC system - we help you run it with confidence.
