Has anyone implemented graph databases for their own GRC program?
I've been exploring the use of graph databases like Neo4j for governance in GRC programs, where traditional methods like Word docs and spreadsheets clearly just don't cut it anymore. Graph databases clearly visualize the intricate relationships between authorities, directives, policies, standards, controls, and evidence—mirroring our (usually undocumented) mental maps. The real-time, dynamic navigation and visualization of these connections in graph databases definitely offer advantages over traditional document-based linking. I’m feeling optimistic about this approach so far, and keeping my fingers crossed it can create some efficiency. Has anyone else tried this approach in their GRC processes? I'd love to hear about your experiences—what worked and what didn't?
