HCS’s newly launched Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Practice has received strong coverage across leading Irish business, technology, and cybersecurity publications, reflecting the growing importance of governance, compliance, and cyber resilience for organisations operating in an increasingly regulated environment.
The practice was established to help organisations strengthen governance, manage risk, and navigate evolving regulations such as NIS2 and DORA.
The launch also marked the appointment of Lesley Whelan as Head of Risk & Compliance. Bringing more than 20 years of experience in governance, risk, and compliance, Lesley will lead the growth of the practice and support organisations in building resilience, strengthening oversight, and addressing emerging regulatory challenges.
The positive media response reinforces HCS’s continued investment in expanding its capabilities and helping organisations address increasingly complex governance, security, and compliance requirements. The launch represents another important milestone in HCS’s growth journey and commitment to supporting customers with practical, scalable solutions that build trust and drive sustainable growth.
As organisations continue to face heightened expectations from customers, boards, partners, and regulators, the GRC Practice has been designed to provide clear, practical support that connects governance and compliance with real world security and resilience needs. This approach reflects HCS’s focus on helping customers make confident technology decisions while preparing for future regulatory and operational challenges.
