Category: Simple GRC

For “Simple GRC” I’ve defined Libraries, Library Objects and Requirements. These records will allow to create a simple logical approach to all GRC objects,. This is outlined in my other post Building the Foundations: Libraries, Objects, and Requirements in Simple GRC

Example: “Authority -> NIST CSF -> Asset Management -> Physical devices and systems within the organization are inventoried” structure would be easy to implement. It can also be used for risks, controls etc.

Now I need to define Risk Management structure where I can setup Risk Management Activities such as Assessments, Issues etc. and connect those specific activities to Libraries.

This part is work in Progress

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been shaping the core structure behind Simple GRC — specifically how all the governance, risk, and compliance content connects together.
I wanted something clean, logical, and scalable. GRC data tends to get messy fast — one framework references another, controls overlap, requirements duplicate, and every “simple mapping” turns into a web of dependencies.

To handle that without losing my mind, I built a model centered around Libraries, Objects, and Requirements.
It sounds simple (and that’s the point), but there’s quite a bit going on under the hood.

Project: MapGRC (Laravel 12, Multi-Tenant)
Feature: Dynamic Sankey Diagram Visualization Page
Goal: To create an interactive Sankey diagram that visually represents relationships between GRC entities (Libraries, Types, Objects, and Requirements) across user-defined steps or sections, allowing users to explore complex mappings in a structured, intuitive, and analytical way.
