As regulatory landscapes grow increasingly complex, organizations are turning to governance, risk and compliance (GRC) programs as a force-multiplier. When implemented effectively, GRC can drastically improve an organization's ability to efficiently navigate rules and requirements while becoming more risk-intelligent. However, capturing these benefits requires taking a holistic, strategic approach from the outset.
London-based private equity firm Hg Capital has acquired Los Angeles-based AuditBoard, a leading GRC platform, for over $3 billion. This acquisition by Hg follows a series of investments into GRC solutions providers, sending a continued message of market validation to the growth and significance of the space. Hg Capital's acquisition of AuditBoard may serve as a strong anchor into the GRC space to support a larger private equity rollup of other GRC solutions. AuditBoard recently surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue and serves half of the Fortune 500.
In a resounding validation of the burgeoning importance of governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) technology, Corlytics has secured a substantial investment from Verdane, marking what could very well be a pivotal moment in the evolution of the GRC industry. This strategic partnership serves as a bellwether for the remarkable growth trajectory and importance of the broader GRC and RegTech sectors.
Corlytics, a leading player in the RegTech industry, has successfully finalized its acquisition of Clausematch, marking a significant milestone in their growth trajectory. The merger combines the capabilities of both companies to create an enhanced platform that manages the entire regulatory risk value chain on a global scale. The newly formed Group aims to establish itself as a prominent player in the industry.
