Diligent, the AI leader in governance, risk and compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions, today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Governance, Risk, and Compliance Software 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc # US53615325, June 2025). This announcement builds on recognition from leading industry analysts and recent launches of GovernAI, AI Risk Essentials, and the recent acquisition of Vault Platform, an AI-powered ethics and compliance solution, re-affirming Diligent’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, AI-powered GRC solutions.

“Being named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for GRC Software is not only a testament to our AI-powered platform but also a reflection of our unwavering commitment to our clients across the globe,” said Brian Stafford, President and CEO of Diligent. “We are grateful to the over 25,000 clients who trust Diligent for AI-powered governance solutions every day. As the global leader in GRC innovation for 20+ years, we’re dedicated to providing best-in-class GRC solutions that drive operational excellence and mitigate risk.”

The IDC MarketScape, one of the industry’s most comprehensive and detailed analyses, evaluates vendor’s current capabilities and strategies over a three-to-five-year future time frame using both qualitative and quantitative assessments. Diligent was rigorously evaluated in two key categories: strategic vision and product capabilities.

Key strengths of Diligent, highlighted in the IDC MarketScape report, include: “The Diligent One Platform is a true single platform of AI-powered cross-organizational GRC capabilities that are modular, enabling customers to be met where they are in their GRC maturity journey.” The report outlines that Diligent’s solutions are “the gold standard in board reporting” and that there is “a strong road map that promises unique and value-added outcomes so organizations can truly manage risk and compliance bottom up.”

“Diligent has been positioned as a Leader in the evaluation of the Worldwide Governance, Risk and Compliance Software providers for its strategic, comprehensive and robust AI platform. The Diligent One Platform can power company-wide GRC capabilities for organizations of every size and maturity level,” said Phil Harris, Research Director, Governance, Risk & Compliance Services of IDC.

This recognition complements Diligent’s recent achievements, including accolades from industry analysts like Chartis and Forrester, as well as rave reviews and awards from clients in G2 and Trust Radius.
