Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a structured methodology utilised by companies to address issues related to corporate governance, enterprise risk management (ERM), and regulatory compliance. These platforms help to improve decision-making processes, optimize expenditures, and minimize the wastage of resources between different divisions or departments. By adhering to standards and automating administrative tasks, GRC platforms help organisations to identify inefficiencies across different levels, reduce the workload of administrators, and minimise implementation costs while reducing paperwork.
The governance, risk, and compliance platform market has experienced rapid growth due to the surge in new organisations worldwide. The rapidly growing startup culture, coupled with emerging unicorn startups is a key factor contributing to the growth of the GRC software market. In 2023, there were 1,361 unicorn companies globally, with the United States maintaining its lead with 653 unicorns. As these platforms enable businesses to meet their GRC objectives through workflow automation, many organisations are increasingly adopting GRC solutions to enhance their operational efficiency and ensure a satisfactory experience for employees. Consequently, companies are embracing the GRC platform as a standardised approach to address enforcement and risk concerns holistically, rather than tackling them individually.

Utilising GRC programs empowers businesses to make more informed decisions within a risk-aware environment. Well-designed GRC initiatives enable key stakeholders to collaboratively establish policies and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The advantages of GRC platforms include data-driven decision-making, promoting responsible operations, and bolstering cybersecurity measures.
North America leads the GRC platform market, capturing the majority of the global market share due to the large number of organisations, coupled with high regulatory compliance rules. Within this region, the United States is poised to command substantial revenue shares, driven by the adoption of integrated data systems by financial institutions to streamline internal and external data sources, thereby supporting the growth of the market.
