Diligent Named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Governance, Risk and Compliance Tools, Assurance Leaders Report

Recognized for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diligent, the AI leader in governance, risk and compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Governance, Risk and Compliance Tools, Assurance Leaders report for its Diligent One Platform.

According to Gartner, “Leaders are in the strongest position to influence the market’s growth and direction. They demonstrate a market-defining vision for how GRC technology can help organizations support a holistic enterprise risk management (ERM) process, encompassing risk identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring and reporting across assurance teams and engaging the first line. Leaders can execute against that vision through products and services and have demonstrated business results in the form of revenue and earnings.”

“In my view, Diligent's recognition as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Governance, Risk and Compliance Tools is a validation of our market expertise and AI innovation,” said Brian Stafford, President and CEO of Diligent. “We are extremely grateful to our more than 25,000 global clients who trust us to provide the most comprehensive governance, enterprise risk, audit and compliance platform. To us, being recognized as a Leader underscores our commitment to helping customers improve oversight, reduce risk, and drive better results through smarter governance.”

In the past year, Diligent has set the pace for AI innovation. Building on the success of the Diligent One Platform, the company introduced GovernAI to streamline governance workflows with secure, responsible AI; launched AI Risk Essentials to strengthen enterprise risk management; enhanced Diligent Entities with AI to modernize entity and subsidiary management; and acquired Vault Platform, an AI-driven ethics and compliance solution. Most recently, Diligent unveiled ACL AI Studio empowering audit, risk and compliance teams to analyze data with ease.

While the volume and complexity of risk management have increased exponentially in the last five years, most organizations are hampered by varying levels of risk maturity and resourcing, which makes the implementation process critical.
