2025 GRC Drivers and Trends

Join internationally recognized GRC pundit and analyst Michael Rasmussen for an insightful webinar on the key governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) drivers and trends expected to shape 2025.

In an increasingly complex and regulated business environment, understanding the forces impacting GRC is crucial for organizations to stay resilient, agile, and proactive. This session will delve into the emerging risk and regulatory pressures forecasted for 2025 and explore how these drivers influence GRC trends, including the integration of GRC into the business fabric, the adoption of agile (no-code) and cognitive (AI-driven) solutions, and the evolution of risk management as a catalyst for informed decision-making that enables the business. Additionally, attendees will gain a perspective on how ESG considerations are becoming integral to forward-thinking GRC strategies.

In this session, participants will:

• Understand the primary risk and regulatory drivers projected to shape GRC initiatives in 2025 and their impact on business operations.
• Explore how GRC integration across business functions enhances alignment with strategic goals and supports agile responsiveness.
• Discover the potential of no-code and AI-driven cognitive GRC solutions to drive efficiencies, adaptability, and data-driven insights.
