S5E5: Why GRC Stabilized And IRM Took The Lead

GartnerMagic QuadrantGRC
Written By John A. Wheeler

The latest episode of The Risk Wheelhouse tackles one of the strangest sights in this year’s risk technology landscape. The “2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Governance, Risk, and Compliance” arrives with an empty Visionaries quadrant. No challengers, no upstarts, just silence where innovation used to live. Rather than treating this as a warning sign, Ori Wellington and Sam Jones explain why the quiet is a signal that GRC has finally stabilized into what it was always best suited to be: the institutional assurance backbone that proves what happened, preserves the evidence, and keeps auditors, regulators, and boards on solid ground.
