In this episode of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the GRC Technology Galaxy, Michael Rasmussen explores with Corporater why risk cannot exist in isolation from objectives and performance, despite how many organizations and technology providers treat it. Drawing on ISO 31000’s definition of risk as “the effect of uncertainty on objectives,” the conversation dives into why so many platforms reduce objectives to a simple mapping field, missing the point that performance management must sit at the center of GRC.

Corporater demonstrates how its platform takes a truly integrated approach, with dedicated modules to manage strategy, performance, and objectives alongside risk and compliance. The discussion also ventures into the depths of digital twins, what it really means to create a forward-looking reflection of the organization, and how twins can be used for scenario analysis, “what ifs,” and simulations that go beyond checkbox GRC.

From connecting risk to performance to building a digital twin of your enterprise, this episode charts a course through the universe of GPRC where objectives take their rightful place at the center of gravity.

Strap in, interstellar travelers, our first stop in the GRC Technology Galaxy is with CoreStream, a platform that proves configurability doesn’t have to feel like Vogon poetry. Michael Rasmussen chats with the CoreStream crew about how they’ve built a system that adapts to you, delivering value faster than a hyperspace jump.

From rapid implementations that go live in weeks, to deployments both in the cloud and on-premise (making it fit even for critical infrastructure planets), CoreStream shows how portability, scalability, and flexibility can turn improbable business realities into manageable ones.

With real-world use cases as our star maps, we explore how CoreStream defines value, not just in compliance checkboxes, but in creating efficiency, resilience, and trust. Consider this your towel for navigating GRC without limits.
