There are several risks involved in any workplace related to Governance, Risk Management, Security, Safety, Assurance and Compliance. For businesses to protect the assets, have internal cohesion within the organization while at the same time follow all governmental regulations ­ having a Governance, Risk and Compliance Programme (GRC) becomes vitally important. Business enterprises can benefit a lot by taking assistance from GRC firms that help minimize threats and risks on a daily basis.

Established in the year 2016, Worisgo (previously named India Bound) is a global GRC consulting firm that offers a complete range of GRC solutions right from Legal, Compliance, Corporate Security, Investigation to Risk Management, and Information Security Protection. At its core, the firm is composed of three different Practice lines. The talent is drawn from diverse fields ­ there are armed forces people, scholars, lawyers, technology people, data scientists, GIS mapping staff, with degrees from Ph.D. to M.Tech and MBA. The Worisgo team has extensive prior experience working for leading global MNCs, bringing in their respective domain expertise, offering a window to businesses looking to set up their operations within their respective geographies to sort out the risks, and maintain appropriate governance.

Any business enterprise looking to set up a business in a particular geographical location also needs to get their logistic supply configured, manage people movements, transfer critical assets, understand regional regulations and mitigate a host of other security risk factors. This is where Worisgo team handholds clients by delivering a complete assessment right from picking up the appropriate geographical locations in terms of industry safety and suitability to taking care of legal matters, governance, asset protection and employee safety issues.

It is the unique combination of all the GRC services in one platter, which has enabled the firm to work across a diversified industrial segment ranging from Oil & Gas and Mining companies to the Aviation sector and ITES and Banking companies. Since its inception, Worisgo has mitigated risk and compliance for over 45 Fortune companies. On the risk assessment side of things, working with a very large oil company, the team at Worisgo worked on a Pan India level, where district-by-district analysis of top threats and risks for their supply chain was conducted-using cutting-edge GIS mapping tools to map out the risks across six different threats going
back five years. At the end of the assessment, more than a million data points were drawn out across India, covering a total of 760 plus districts.

On the Governance aspect, in the recent Pandemic times, any number of companies were facing force majure, contractual compliance, vendor, supply chain, healthy, safety and real-estate issues. The COVID-19 crisis generated a lot of demand on current regulations and issues pertaining to work-from-home. This is where Worisgo has been actively involved in reviewing off shoring contracts, talking on behalf of the company by averting any crisis that cropped up. Many companies especially those in ITES, Banking & Insurance had to shift to remote working all of a sudden. The team at Worisgo helped many companies in their business continuity requirements at an unmatchable delivery speed. "What really stood out for us during the pandemic period has been the speed of delivery, changes and new regulations are coming in every day. We brought this to our clients as a part of their technological roadmap," concludes Arpit Rajain, Partner & Practice Head Risk Management.
