By integrating Galvanize and Steele into the Diligent modern governance platform, the Company is creating a comprehensive solution to meet its client’s GRC needs, from IT to the boardroom. The platform will help clients:

- enrich insights with best practice and external benchmarks while strengthening regulatory compliance; and,
- aggregate data into a holistic view for their leadership teams and board.
The combined company will serve more than 23,000 clients across all industries and provide concierge-level support built on market-leading customer satisfaction scores. Diligent will benefit from Galvanize’s robust partner network and its comprehensive “Leader” recognition from both Gartner and Forrester analysts. Touting over 80 integrations with leading technology partners, Galvanize will also accelerate Diligent’s seamless integration into customers’ existing technology stacks.
“Diligent is proud to be shaping the future of modern GRC by building an operating system for purpose-driven capitalism,” said Brian Stafford, CEO of Diligent. “We’re enabling visionary leaders to keep pace with the rising tide of stakeholder capitalism and make progress on ESG commitments. Clients can look forward to a completely integrated platform that covers risk, compliance, audit and governance, and drives enhanced visibility across the entire organization. We’re thrilled to have the talented Galvanize and Steele teams onboard and, together, look forward to creating a positive impact for our clients.”
“By joining Diligent, the clear market leader in its space with a board governance platform used by the leaders of today and tomorrow, Galvanize elevates the work of GRC professionals further into the boardroom,” said Laurie Schultz, President and CEO of Galvanize. “The combination will fast forward our vision of positioning GRC as a critical component of every enterprise through our category leadership.”
