Questions people ask
Is the GRC Vocabulary Glossary really free?
Yes. There is no payment and no trial. Tell us your name, work email and company once, and every document in the Free Zone is yours to download.
What format are the documents in?
This kit has 1 document in PDF format.
Can I use it inside my company?
Yes. The licence covers one organisation with unlimited internal use — print it, share it with colleagues and adapt it. Please do not resell it or republish it as your own.
Does this make us compliant with GRC?
No document can do that on its own. It is a practical working tool to help you prepare, check and improve. Conformity with GRC is decided by an audit of your actual system, and the standard itself remains the authoritative text.
Do you offer training on this topic?
Yes. Skedmia runs online courses with certificates on the standards and topics these kits cover — the matching courses are listed on this page.
