In a recent report, Emerging Technologies: Top Use Cases in Integrated Risk Management, Gartner included Axio in a survey of IRM technology products and service providers.

Previously known as Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tools, IRM tools address a wider range of use cases than the legacy GRC products of the past. They provide a “vertically integrated view of risk,” using your company’s business strategy as a jumping off point. By starting here, IRM tools can be used to address the unique cybersecurity needs of your organizational operations, regardless of size or industry. Unlike GRC tools, IRM products offer a dynamic and comprehensive view of your risk environment across business units, partners, and third-party vendors.
