Increasing adoption of compliance and risk management solutions by various enterprises to overcome monetary and reputational risk of non-compliance is anticipated to be the key growth driver. Moreover, rising complexity of compliance, regulatory, and risk management environment in businesses has paved the way to implement governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions across various industries.

Rapid globalization and commercialization led to the intervention of the government by making policies for fair trade practice. The enterprise governance, risk and compliance (EGRC) was introduced to address the complexity of complying with the stringent regulatory policies resulting in a higher demand for the EGRC solution.

Also, the business organizations may seek unprecedented requirements for governance, risk and compliance management at an enterprise level due to changing business scenario, security need, and external reporting obligation over the forecast period. The increasing volumes of digital data, the subsequent need for continuous monitoring and analysis to ensure adequate data security and privacy protection, and the regulations being laid down by different regulatory agencies are further driving the demand for EGRC.

The advent of technology initiated the burgeoning growth of various industries by contributing to the diverse business function from manufacturing to marketing. Hence, the implementation of the EGRC solution is substantial in overcoming the challenges of hyper-connected business model.
