ProMinds Global Solutions - Providing a Strategic Approach to Tackle IT GRC Challenges

CIO Vendor IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance (IT GRC) are increasingly being recognized by organizations as a new approach to adopt integration of systems and methodologies to IT business, including SMB segments. Although the traditional focus of IT GRC is moving from mitigation and compliance to improving profits and minimizing loss, many organizations today still deploy small time tactical approaches that do not last long in effectiveness. ProMinds Global Solutions, headquartered in Hyderabad with offices in Chennai and USA, has carved a niche among SMBs by providing comprehensive GRC strategies that address the organization's IT security and governance needs by embracing the right technologies, mitigating threats, and regulations while providing sustained business value to its stakeholders.

Many enterprises today resort to short term tactical approach with reduced resources and lower budgets due to high resistance towards GRC. However, ProMinds understands that Sustainability and Effectiveness of Compliance is a function of various internal and external environmental factors and stresses on creating a solution roadmap to build an Integrated and Optimized Risk Management Framework with an efficient GRC control system that can help SMB’s derive better value. ProMinds’ competency at GRC management is better understood by how the company helped a mid-tier client save 60 percent of costs. The client handed over a set of business requirements and mandate from few strategic clients to have a clear IT GRC Strategy and demonstrate the same. The complexity with the presence of a few offshore clients with different regulations resulted in other compliance providers backing away. However, when ProMinds Global was entrusted with accomplishing this task, the ProMinds team proposed an integrated IT GRC roadmap for HIPAA, ISO 27001, SAS 70;and IT Security and OWASP compliance of their applications.
By strategically reconfiguring existing IT assets and applications, and enhancing existing CMMI processes, ProMinds was able to save around 60 percent of the direct cost and over 50 percent of working hours. “The solution was deployed in a manner that Compliance was repeatable, consistent and improved on a continuous basis by the organization,” points out Balaji Selvaraju, CEO & Managing Director, ProMinds Global.
