Executive Summary
This report equips decision-makers in risk management roles who are responsible for the selection, implementation and management of software for governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) with detailed profiles of 14 prominent software platforms in today’s market, drawing on data collected from the vendors via questionnaires. In addition, Verdantix has built a holistic picture of the global GRC vendor landscape through a broader overview of 34 GRC solution providers and an analysis of buyer requirements, using a range of publicly available data and insights generated from our annual global corporate survey of 200 executives in director roles and above (see Verdantix Global Corporate Survey 2023: Risk Management Budgets, Priorities & Tech Preferences). The GRC market today is being reshaped by an intensified push towards the digitization of GRC processes, aiming to enhance operational efficiencies and help firms navigate a growing web of mandatory regulations. Additionally, increasing non-financial risks, such as ESG, climate and cyber security threats, are compelling organizations to adopt technology-led GRC platforms that offer real-time insights and proactive risk management capabilities. Prospective buyers should use this report to support them in their search for GRC software solutions that fit their business requirements.
