Case Study: Global Miner Company achieves scalable SOX controls execution with CoreStream GRC

How a global miner rebuilt their SOX management across every entity, and what other US organizations can learn

The customer, Global Miner Company, a global diversified mining firm with over 21,000 employees, faced significant challenges in managing its Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance program. Their controls framework was scattered across spreadsheets, email threads, and Visio maps, creating friction in tracking execution, testing follow-up, and reporting across its many entities. They needed to create a single source of truth, eliminate manual tracking, and establish clear accountability for every control.

The vendor, CoreStream GRC, implemented its GRC software to structurally connect processes, risks, and control execution in one system. The solution provided a unified controls framework, explicit ownership assignment, and workflow-driven execution, testing, and remediation. As a result, Global Miner Company achieved a single source of truth, improved efficiency in meeting requirements, established clear accountability, and reduced administrative overhead. CoreStream GRC enabled the company to replace manual report preparation with real-time dashboards, freeing time for higher-value work.
