Cyber GRC and Gartner

Gartner defined a category of ‘Cyber GRC’ in their 2024 Cyber Risk Management Hype Cycle, “to reflect the evolving landscape of GRC management, emphasizing specialized solutions. This integration aims to simplify the buying process by clarifying vendor offerings. While some vendors focus on either cyber GRC or assurance GRC (enterprise risk management compliance and audit), others provide comprehensive platforms across multiple GRC domains.

Many of those domains include Continuous Threat and Exposure Management.
