ACIS GRC owns controls and evidence. Data governance owns catalog, quality, and retention. Conflating the two confuses buyers and weakens programs.
We see teams try to solve catalog, lineage, quality, privacy, and control testing in one vague 'data platform' RFP. The result is shelfware or duplicated spreadsheets.
Our recommendation: run GRC in ACIS GRC, run stewardship and analytics in dedicated data programs, and link objects where audit narratives require it.
Analytics without governance produces pretty charts on unreliable data. Governance without analytics produces policies nobody operationalizes.
