Swiss GRC participated as a Platinum Sponsor at the G[P]RC Summit 2026 in Riyadh, co-sponsoring with StorIT. The company contributed to strategic discussions on integrating GRC with performance and resilience, aligning risk management with Vision 2030 ambitions in a rapidly evolving, hyperconnected business environment.
The annual Global Risks Report published by the World Economic Forum remains one of the most closely followed publications for leaders in business, government, and civil society. Drawing on the perspectives of more than 1,300 global experts, the 2026 edition captures a world entering an “Age of Competition,” where geoeconomic rivalry, rapid technological acceleration, and deepening societal fragmentation are reshaping the global risk landscape.
As organizations approach 2026, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is undergoing a fundamental transformation. What was once viewed primarily as a compliance obligation is now emerging as a strategic capability-one that enables resilience, informed decision-making, and long-term trust. For business leaders, the focus is no longer on whether governance frameworks are in place.
The ERM Report 2025 reveals that internal weaknesses remain the primary drivers of major corporate crises across the DACH region. Strategic failures, governance gaps and operational issues make organizations vulnerable long before external shocks appear. Strengthening Enterprise Risk Management and resilience is now essential for sustainable performance and confident strategic decision-making.
FINMA Risk Monitor 2025 outlines the most significant risks currently shaping the Swiss financial centre. The risk landscape is evolving rapidly across both financial and non-financial areas, increasing the pressure on institutions to enhance their resilience. Understanding these developments is now essential for strategic decision-making, not just compliance.
GCC GRC Day 2025 shows that AI governance, resilience and integrated risk management are becoming central to effective GRC across the GCC. The conference highlights how organizations must strengthen their GRC programmes to navigate accelerating risks and support sustainable decision-making.
The NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) represents the EU’s primary legal instrument to enhance cybersecurity and cyber resilience. The implementation of the EU NIS2 Directive into German law fundamentally reshapes the cybersecurity requirements for thousands of organizations across the country. Those who act now will not only secure compliance, but also significantly strengthen their overall cyber resilience.
Switzerland’s financial sector approaches a major regulatory milestone as FINMA introduces a new Insolvency Ordinance that unifies and updates all requirements for handling bank and financial institution failures, fundamentally reshaping governance, risk, and compliance frameworks.
In 2025, the organizations that lead will not be those with the most detailed compliance policies. They will be the ones that can absorb shocks, protect operations, and regain momentum faster than their peers. Resilience is not about avoiding disruption. It is about preparing for it, navigating it, and learning from it. This is the moment to move beyond reactive compliance.
