Which of the following is a typical example of an entity in the GRC framework (facility-related)?

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

Answer: (A)

In GRC, an entity is the real-world object you manage for risk and compliance. A facility (such as a plant or building) is a concrete item you assess and govern, so it serves as a typical example of an entity in the framework. The other terms describe modeling concepts rather than actual objects: an entity object would be a specific instance, an entity class a group of similar entities, and an entity type a category. For a facility-related scenario, you’re usually dealing with the tangible item itself as an entity, which is why the general term best fits.
