How to evaluate Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Diligent. It comes from our Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) buyer guide.
25%
Risk, Audit & Policy Depth
Enterprise and operational risk registers with quantification, internal-audit and SOX workflows, control libraries, policy lifecycle and attestation, issue/remediation tracking, and third-party/vendor risk — the breadth a mature ERM function actually exercises
20%
Regulatory Content & Framework Coverage
Breadth of out-of-the-box frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001/42001, NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA, DORA), cross-framework control mapping so one control satisfies many, regulatory-change feeds, and how current and well-maintained the content library is
20%
Continuous Controls Monitoring & Evidence Automation
Automated, integration-driven evidence collection from cloud, identity, and ITSM systems; control tests that run continuously (not point-in-time); drift and exception alerting; and how much of an audit can be sustained without manual screenshots
20%
Adoption, UX & Workflow Configurability
First-line usability and self-service assessments, no-code/low-code workflow and form building, configuration without specialist consultants, role-based views, and dashboards that risk and control owners will actually open
10%
Integration & Data Connectivity
Pre-built connectors to cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), identity (Okta/Entra), ITSM, HRIS and ticketing; open API/webhooks; and whether the platform pulls live operational data instead of relying on data entered by hand
5%
AI Assistance & Roadmap
Agentic and generative AI for control mapping, evidence summarization, questionnaire and policy drafting, and AI-governance modules (e.g. ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF) — scored on demonstrated, in-product capability, not roadmap promises
