S9E1: Stop Buying GRC Hype
Your GRC stack can generate perfect audit evidence and still leave the business exposed. We just released the 2026-2027 IRM Navigator Vendor Compass for Governance, Risk, and Compliance, and we are using it to cut through the loudest AI claims in the GRC software market and get brutally practical about what actually improves enterprise resilience.
S6E7: AI Upends GRC - From Clipboards To Control Planes
What happens when the firm that helped define integrated risk management turns a critical lens on the category's foundations?
In this episode, analysts Ori Wellington and Sam Jones preview two major Wheelhouse Advisors research publications: The Integration Trap for GRC and the IRM50 AI Disruption Risk Index. The data reveals a surprising finding: when 50 IRM vendors are scored on structural exposure to AI disruption, market leadership and market durability turn out to be very different things.
At the heart of the analysis is what Wheelhouse calls the Integration Trap. Many established platforms excel at compliance documentation and assurance reporting but were never architected for real-time operational control. That distinction matters now more than ever. Agentic AI does not need dashboards or user interfaces. It needs APIs and control planes. Vendors with deep operational DNA are naturally positioned for this shift, while those built primarily around human workflows face difficult architectural decisions.
