Most "top GRC vendors" lists rank platforms as if they were interchangeable. They aren’t — the five below serve different buyers with different problems, and the most common evaluation mistake is running a competitive process between tools that were never competing for the same job.  A Chief Audit Executive shopping for workpaper software and a Chief Compliance Officer building an enterprise risk program aren’t in the same market, even though both searches surface the same five names. This ...
