This is the inaugural edition of the Magic Quadrant for Governance, Risk and Compliance Tools, Assurance Leaders and replaces the previous Market Guide for GRC Tools for Assurance Leaders. The GRC tool landscape is crowded and complex for buyers, featuring a diverse mix of established and emerging vendors. Over one hundred companies market 'GRC tools,' and 85% of Gartner clients using GRC tools report having multiple solutions in place. Organizations should view GRC not as a monolithic market with a handful of dominant players, but as a composable market where various GRC tools coexist alongside other enterprise systems and data sources.
A: This is the first edition of this Magic Quadrant, so there are no vendors that appeared previously and dropped. All vendors listed are new inclusions. Vendors were included based on meeting specific criteria including offering a generally available GRC tool, generating majority revenue from North America and/or Europe, selling and supporting their own GRC product, and ranking among the top 20 organizations in the Customer Interest Indicator (CII) defined by Gartner.
