🧠 One Size Doesn’t Fit All
While governance frameworks like COBIT, ISO/IEC 38500, and ITIL offer excellent structure, they weren’t designed with your specific business context in mind. Trying to apply them out of the box often leads to bloat, confusion, or gaps.
That’s where tailored models come in—the second point in the eGRACS Golden Triangle. A model ensures your governance efforts are relevant, risk-aligned, and achievable.
📐 What Is a Tailored Governance Model?
A model adapts a generic framework to reflect your:
- Industry (e.g., finance, healthcare, public sector)
- Compliance obligations (GDPR, HIPAA, NIS2, etc.)
- Organizational maturity and risk appetite
- Strategic business goals
It eliminates unnecessary controls, clarifies responsibilities, and improves governance adoption across teams.
🔎 Real-World Impact
A SaaS company using a generic COBIT model was struggling with unnecessary overhead. eGRACS helped tailor it by:
- Focusing only on controls tied to customer data handling and DevSecOps
- Removing 40+ irrelevant controls related to legacy infrastructure
- Adding continuous delivery governance unique to agile environments
Result: Control efficiency improved by 55%, and time-to-audit readiness dropped from 10 weeks to 4.
🛠 How eGRACS Supports Modeling
- Pre-built models for key industries (finance, healthcare, government)
- Custom modeling tools to define scope, controls, and owners
- Framework harmonization (COBIT, ITIL, ISO, UCF, etc.)
- Audit-friendly documentation and continuous model tuning
🚀 Conclusion: Governance Must Fit to Function
Tailoring a governance model is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. With eGRACS, you’re not just checking boxes; you’re building a governance system that fits, flexes, and drives value.
