GRC Technology & Innovation

Wolters Kluwer has completed the acquisition of StandardFusion in a cash transaction valued at approximately €32 million, the company said on January 9.

Diligent has acquired 3rdRisk, an AI-native third-party risk management provider based in the Netherlands, as part of a move to expand its capabilities in vendor and supplier risk oversight.

There’s a certain kind of growth story you see all the time in digital media. Big launches. Loud claims. Paid distribution quietly doing most of the work behind the scenes. This isn’t that story. What started as a small, independent experiment has, in a remarkably short period of time, turned into something far more consequential: a place where governance, risk, and compliance professionals actually come back, not because they’re chased by algorithms, but because the content respects their time and intelligence.

Since early access opened, solution providers have been claiming spots at a measured but consistent pace. Of the 100 early access placements made available, fewer than 90 remain. Our team behind GRC Report says the interest reflects something they’ve been hearing more often over the past year. Practitioners are tired of trying to make sense of the GRC technology market through vague categories, inflated claims, and review sites that don’t quite pass the sniff test.

Finding the right governance, risk, and compliance technology has long been a frustrating maze of scattered information, inconsistent categories, and star ratings that often raise more questions than answers. Now, the team behind GRC Report believes it has built the solution the market has been waiting for.
