Santa Clara Facility and Boston Facility are examples of which concept in the GRC model?

• A. Entity
• B. Entity Object
• C. Entity Class
• D. Entity Type

Answer: (A)

In the GRC model, an Entity represents a governance boundary or individual unit that you manage and assess. Santa Clara Facility and Boston Facility are concrete, distinct locations with their own risks, controls, and compliance requirements. Because they are actual instances you govern, they fit the concept of an Entity—not a template or classification.

An Entity Object would be something tied to an entity, not the boundary itself. An Entity Class would be a template or category used to group similar entities, and an Entity Type would be a broader classification. Since these are two specific facilities with separate governance contexts, the best fit is Entity.
