At SureStep, our mission has always been clear—help organizations move beyond compliance checklists to embed governance, risk, and compliance as a driver of resilience, trust, and performance. That is why we are proud to partner with OCEG, the global nonprofit that created the concept of Principled Performance® and the GRC Capability Model (Red Book).
Why OCEG Matters
OCEG sets the standard for integrated governance, risk, and compliance practices worldwide. Their open-source frameworks and guidance empower organizations to align culture, strategy, and execution in a way that manages uncertainty while achieving business objectives and acting with integrity. OCEG isn’t just a standards body—it is a global community of practitioners and experts working together to advance better ways of running organizations.
The Principled Performance Framework
At the heart of OCEG’s work is Principled Performance®—a framework that helps organizations reliably achieve objectives while addressing uncertainty and acting with integrity. It’s not about siloed risk management or reactive compliance. It’s about creating a unified system where strategy, risk, culture, and performance reinforce one another.
The framework emphasizes:
- Clarity of objectives – aligning business goals with governance principles.
- Integration across disciplines – breaking down silos between risk, compliance, audit, strategy, and performance.
- Action guided by values – ensuring organizations not only meet regulations but also act with integrity.
- Continuous improvement – embedding monitoring, learning, and agility into governance and risk practices.
SureStep + OCEG: Elevating GRC Together
Our partnership with OCEG reflects a shared belief that GRC should not be a burden but a business enabler. As a member of the OCEG Solutions Council, SureStep contributes to shaping the future of integrated governance and risk practices by collaborating with other leading organizations to advance open standards, practical guidance, and innovative solutions.
By combining SureStep’s Accelerated GRC Framework and implementation expertise with OCEG’s proven models and global community, we bring clients a practical, structured, and forward-looking approach to managing governance, risk, and compliance.
Together, we help organizations:
- Embed the Principled Performance® mindset into their culture and operations.
- Translate OCEG’s models into actionable, technology-enabled GRC programs.
- Align governance practices with regulatory requirements, industry frameworks, and organizational strategy.
- Build resilient systems that not only withstand uncertainty but thrive on it.
Looking Ahead
As regulatory complexity grows and organizations face new challenges in AI governance, cyber risk, ESG, and beyond, the importance of Principled Performance® is greater than ever. With OCEG as a partner, and as a committed member of the Solutions Council, SureStep is dedicated to helping our clients lead with integrity, adapt with agility, and deliver results with confidence.
