Birlasoft, the global IT services arm of the multi-billion dollar C K Birla Group, today announced its Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) strategy designed to help businesses become more agile, gain greater visibility into their data, and balance business risk and responsiveness. Since the law was published in 2010, Birlasoft has setup a domain led competency to carry out comprehensive research and thought leadership for organizations grappling to understand and respond to the law’s still evolving technology requirements.

“Impending regulations, client and internal pressures are driving securities firms to enhance and restructure their compliance and regulatory infrastructure. This will remain a top priority for securities firms for the next few years and drive investments in areas such as OTC Derivatives, market surveillance and risk management,” said Dushyant Shahrawat, CFA, Senior Research Director, TowerGroup.

While grouping all governance, risk and compliance solutions under an integrated GRC framework, Birlasoft has developed solutions around Dodd Frank Act, to Basel II, to Solvency II, to data privacy compliance and beyond. Birlasoft’s GRC strategic consulting offering will give another tool to IT Leaders and their business counterparts to prepare in advance, enabling higher levels of regulatory requirements, effectively utilizing their resources - allocating budgets to meet their compliance obligations.
