There is no single organization that regulates companies in terms of Governance, Risk, and Compliance. Therefore, businesses should align their GRC efforts with standards, regulations, and best practices that guide their industry.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – handles consumer data privacy and security in the United States
European Banking Authority (EBA) – oversees financial services in the European Union
Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) – governs clinical trials of medications in Australia
