The latest independent research from Verdantix confirms what many compliance leaders already know – that the right GRC platform can make the difference between reactive firefighting and strategic risk excellence.

Verdantix recently published its comprehensive Verdantix Green Quadrant: GRC Software 2025 report, positioning Archer in the Leaders Quadrant. This recognition comes from rigorous evaluation of 15 leading GRC software providers and covers both platform capabilities and market momentum.

According to the Verdantix report:

Risk Management survey said they plan to boost their spending on GRC software by at least 10% within the next two years.” It’s clear that organizations are abandoning static, point-in-time risk assessments in favor of dynamic, continuous monitoring capabilities.
