Question

A CIO asks whether buying IRM means every GRC suite application must go live on day one. What phased positioning is correct?

Accepted Answer

IRM is a product family on a common framework; agencies can phase policy/compliance, risk, audit, and extensions rather than an all-or-nothing go-live. — Think condo complex, not one locked vault. You can move into policy and compliance first, then risk, then audit—same neighborhood, staggered move-in dates.

Answer

All policy, risk, audit, and extended apps must launch simultaneously or the platform will not work.

Answer

IRM requires Software Asset Management and Security Incident Response in the same big-bang release.

Answer

Only audit advanced features may go live first; policy content is optional forever.
