The 2026-2027 IRM Navigator Vendor Compass for Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) is Wheelhouse Advisors' evaluation of the providers that supply GRC capability to the enterprise. It covers 33 providers, 24 technology providers and nine services providers, all constituents of the 2026-2027 IRM50, and places each one in one of three categories according to its position on two axes. The graphic below shows the categories and the providers in each. The report shows where each provider sits on the axes and why, with a profile and placement rationale for every one.

GRC is the verification system of integrated risk management (IRM). It supplies the auditable evidence that connects the goals set in enterprise risk management (ERM), the processes run in operational risk management (ORM), and the assets governed in technology risk management (TRM) to accountable policies, certifiable controls, and reliable disclosures. The report evaluates providers on how well they produce that evidence and how far it travels.
