2 2Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: eGRC Solutions Increasing amounts of corporate data will necessitate eGRC solutions to help ensure compliance with internal and regulatory requirements. Introduction Enterprises seeking to select a solution for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Their GRC use case may include: Ensuring corporate processes remain compliant with regulatory requirements. Performing internal assessments to ensure compliance with industry best practices. Establishing accountability over various layers of IT and business architecture and infrastructure. Conducting risk assessments and prioritizing responses for remediation. This Research Is Designed For:This Research Will Help You: Understand what’s new in the eGRC market. Evaluate eGRC vendors and products for your enterprise needs. Determine which products are most appropriate for particular use cases and scenarios.

3 3Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: eGRC Solutions Executive Summary Info-Tech evaluated seven competitors in the eGRC market, including the following notable performers: Champions: RSA Archer, a security veteran owned by EMC with a robust advanced feature set and deep list of GRC module offerings. NASDAQ OMX BWise, owned by NASDAQ OMX, is a fully configurable system with strong features around GRC and an excellent workflow engine. MetricStream, a strong player in the GRC space with strong integration and risk capabilities. Value Award: RSA Archer has robust advanced features with an attractive costing model for mid to large-sized companies. Trend Setter Award: RSA Archer segments the GRC market by compliance and risk persona as opposed to company size (revenues, employee counts, etc.), enabling it to offer a large list of module offerings that different clients can take advantage of. 1.Work with the business around GRC. IT must be a Steward for GRC and work with the business to ensure that the most appropriate GRC software and modules are purchased, thereby optimizing the investment. Establish a committee with leaders for all user groups to ensure that the required use cases are known and will be supported. 2.Architecture, price, and product focus are the major differentiators. Most vendors have similar functionality and depth within the advanced features. The main differentiators on this Vendor Landscape TM are architecture, price, product focus, and scope of the GRC tool (i.e. only IT-GRC vs. enterprise-wide GRC, and module offerings). 3.Plan GRC purchases around future needs. Many of these vendors have multiple different GRC modules. Always keep these in mind as you may want to spin these up in the future. They will be much easier to deploy from the same platform. Info-Tech Insight

4 4Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: eGRC Solutions Market Overview Ensuring compliance with regulatory or internal requirements has typically been performed and tracked ad hoc, using unsophisticated tools such as Microsoft Excel. Such systems need to be constantly updated to reflect changing requirements which is very tedious. In 2005, the Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) was established, which is an industry-vetted compliance database containing information of requirements such as PCI, HIPPA, and SOX. The UCF has been adopted by many eGRC vendors to give their clients access to the compliance database so that requirements don’t have to be programmed individually. In addition, these solutions can also ensure compliance with best practices for business and IT processes (such as COBIT and ITIL). These solutions can now be used for business process compliance with best practices, not just compliance of IT and corporate data. With Big Data on the horizon and increasing cloud uptake, eGRC solutions will become more prevalent to help ensure compliance of corporate data with regulatory and internal standards. Organizations will have to scale up their GRC processes to keep up with growing data feeds and scale out to ensure vendors are also compliant with regulatory controls. Other disruptive technologies such as social media and mobility will open more avenues for opportunities, as well as risks – so solutions that can help manage this risk will become more and more attractive. There are many smaller and specialized GRC vendors focusing on specific verticals such as healthcare, finance, or government. Consolidation will likely happen over the next few years as these niche vendors get swallowed up by the big ones. How it got here Where it’s going As the market evolves, capabilities that were once cutting edge become default and new functionality becomes differentiating. Compliance and risk tracking and reporting have become Table Stakes capabilities and should no longer be used to differentiate solutions. Instead focus on risk management, workflow engines, and solution architecture to get the best fit for your requirements.

Included in this Vendor Landscape: More and more eGRC vendors are partnering with the Unified Compliance Framework (UCF). All vendors in this report are UCF partners, which grants their users access to the industry-vetted compliance database. For this Vendor Landscape, Info-Tech focused on those vendors that offer broad capabilities across multiple platforms and that have a strong market presence and/or reputational presence among mid and large-sized enterprises.

7 7Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: eGRC Solutions Table Stakes represent the minimum standard; without these, a product doesn’t even get reviewed If Table Stakes are all you need from your eGRC solution, the only true differentiator for the organization is price. Otherwise, dig deeper to find the best price to value for your needs. The products assessed in this Vendor Landscape TM meet, at the very least, the requirements outlined as Table Stakes. Many of the vendors go above and beyond the outlined Table Stakes, some even do so in multiple categories. This section aims to highlight the products’ capabilities in excess of the criteria listed here. The Table StakesWhat Does This Mean? Ability to track whether processes are compliant with internal or regulatory requirements. Compliance Tracking Assign qualitative-based risks to compliance structures and assets and monitor them. Risk Tracking The vendor is a UCF partner and is therefore able to include quarterly updates into their database. UCF Partnership Built-in taxonomy of compliance controls based on the UCF. Compliance Database High level summary statistics of compliant/non- compliant processes with associated risk levels. Reporting What it is: Feature

8 8Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape: eGRC Solutions Advanced Features are the capabilities that allow for granular market differentiation Info-Tech scored each vendor’s features offering as a summation of their individual scores across the listed advanced features. Vendors were given 1 point for each feature the product inherently provided. Some categories were scored on a more granular scale with vendors receiving half points. Assign risks based on best practices or through qualitative or quantitative surveys, and tying these back to compliance structures. Risk Management Customizable, interactive dashboards and reports as well as user dependent views for risk and compliance KPIs. Advanced reporting Manage the compliance process from tracking, analyzing, and prioritizing responses for non- compliant processes or assets. Compliance Management Develop fully searchable policies based on regulatory and/or industry best practices with built-in templates and recommendations. Internal Controls Ensure that remediation and surveying efforts are assigned and completed by the right people through prebuilt and customizable workflows. Workflow Management Notifying all relevant parties when a change in policy is made and tracking of policy acceptance.
