MENLO PARK, Calif. – Sept. 2, 2009 – Protiviti Inc., a global business consulting and internal audit firm, has been positioned as a “Visionary” in Gartner‘s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance (EGRC) Platforms.[1] Protiviti’s Governance Portal provides organizations with a software solution that addresses multiple governance, risk, and compliance objectives through one unified technology platform.
According to Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, visionaries “have a solid understanding of the market, as demonstrated by domain expertise and responsiveness to customer expectations. They are actively executing against an aggressive product road map that expands support to additional regulatory and non-regulatory compliance and risk management needs.”
“We believe our position in the EGRC Magic Quadrant report reflects Protiviti’s ongoing commitment and ability to anticipate and respond to the ever-changing GRC needs of our customers in a dynamic and rapidly changing business landscape,” said Scott Gracyalny, managing director and global leader of Protiviti’s Risk Technology Solutions practice. “In addition to being a cost-effective solution for compliance with internal and external policies, procedures and regulations, the Governance Portal provides organizations with the ability to dive deeper into GRC activities and aggressively pursue their corporate objectives while upholding the values of the organization and reducing overall risk.”
Gartner defines Governance, Risk and Compliance Management (GRCM) as “the automation of the management, measurement, remediation, and reporting of controls and risks against objectives, in accordance with rules, regulations, standards and policies.” According to Gartner, the EGRC platform market “derives from the need for many entities to improve the oversight of corporate governance — including financial reporting compliance, enterprise risk management and related audits.” The report states that many organizations “also want to consolidate other GRC activities into a common platform,” and that “an EGRC platform must solve immediate GRCM needs associated with corporate governance and also enable an enterprise to pursue future consolidation and integration of GRC activities.”
The Governance Portal integrates Protiviti’s proprietary content and consulting expertise with commonly accepted governance frameworks to establish a comprehensive platform that gives organizations the visibility and insight they need to manage and mitigate critical risk and compliance issues.
