Baird’s Global Governance, Risk & Compliance Practice
Return to Tech & Services Areas of FocusLegacy compliance systems are tedious and out of date the moment information is created which poses significant risks for corporates and stakeholders. These systems are further complicated by multiple standards and frameworks and, when considering numerous geographies and business segments involved, effective risk and compliance management becomes nearly impossible at scale without modern, digital native solutions that are built to navigate today’s complex business ecosystem. This increased demand for enterprise protection, compliance and accountability has driven widespread adoption of GRC solutions and compelling opportunities for investors.
