Transforming Governance, Risk, and Compliance: The Role of Large Language Models in an Integrated Risk Framework

In the realm of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), organizations have traditionally grappled with cumbersome, manual processes that are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors and delays.
