The existing GRC framework lacked the effectiveness needed for efficient decision-making and risk management, exposing the company to potential financial and regulatory consequences.

Solution

Establishing Framework

Toptal embedded two seasoned project managers who used Agile methodologies and the NIST RMF to establish an effective GRC function, enabling risk-driven decision-making across the organization.

Outcome

Risk Reduction

The newly implemented GRC function significantly reduced regulatory risks, potentially saving the company over $6 billion by mitigating financial and compliance issues.

Strengthened Leadership

The enhanced GRC framework established the manufacturer as a leader in automotive cybersecurity, supporting broader safety goals in mobility solutions.
