Unified ICT Controls: Why Redundancy Is a Risk and How to Eliminate It
Discover the benefits of unifying ICT controls and streamlining governance under the eGRACS© framework.
Redundancy in ICT controls might seem harmless at first glance, but it can quickly become a hidden drain on resources, efficiency, and security. From overlapping processes to conflicting standards, fragmented controls create complexity and increase organisational risks. That’s where the eGRACS framework comes in, offering a solution to unify and streamline ICT controls for better governance and performance.
Why Redundancy in ICT Controls Is a Risk
1. Increased Operational Complexity
When controls are managed across multiple frameworks and standards without integration, it leads to duplication of efforts and operational inefficiencies.
2. Higher Costs
Overlapping controls often result in unnecessary expenditures on duplicate tools, audits, and compliance measures, eating into your ICT budget.
3. Security Vulnerabilities
Fragmented controls create gaps where vulnerabilities can go unnoticed, leaving your organisation exposed to potential threats.
4. Compliance Challenges
Maintaining separate compliance frameworks increases the risk of conflicting requirements and audit fatigue, making regulatory adherence a daunting task.
