Pilot Post: From Zero to Something
This is the first entry of The GRC Journal, a space to learn out loud as we explore Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) from the ground up. In this post, we share why this project exists, what we aim to learn, and how we plan to make sense of GRC, cybersecurity, and the human side of digital risk.

Welcome to The GRC Journal
Welcome to The GRC Journal, where we are charting the path from zero to something in the world of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). No shortcuts, no polished expertise, just curiosity, questions, and lessons as we explore how GRC shapes the systems and decisions behind digital security.
We started this project because GRC often feels like a behind-the-scenes part of cybersecurity, yet it is the foundation of how organizations manage risk, build trust, and stay resilient. Starting from zero, we wanted a place to break down ideas, reflect on what we are learning, and share insights as we connect the dots between theory and practice.
What we hope to learn is simple:
👉 How companies actually make risk decisions
👉 How human behavior fits into security and compliance
👉 How GRC shapes the way digital systems are managed, monitored, and kept safe
We will be writing about everything from frameworks and case studies to the psychology behind why people ignore security warnings, and everything in between.
This is a journal of questions, lessons, and aha moments as we go from zero to something.
Thank you for reading, and welcome to the start of the journey.
