Enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance (eGRC) Market Growth Factors

Increasing Stringency of Compliance Mandates for Enterprises to Drive the Market

The increasing complication of governing standards and the necessity to fulfill different protocols enforced by governing organizations are expected to generate huge demand for solutions. eGRC guidelines directly impact IT organizations and the associated commercial procedures. Organizations are concentrated on shifting from traditional directives and regulatory compliance rules such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) to advanced risk- and compliance-related regulatory authorities.

In the present economic situation, numerous organizations deploy solutions across their business units to advance their business road maps.

Continuing to comply with the guidelines and regulations, including GDPR, COBIT, HIPAA, and other states & federal directives, is becoming complex for organizations to escape operational loss. Failure to fulfill these regulations requirements can result in enormous business loss. Consequently, the increasing stringency of compliance directives is expected to drive the enterprise governance, risk, and compliance market growth in the upcoming years.

Following are some regulations and compliance acts in North America & Europe:

• Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT)


• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)


• The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)


• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)


• The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)


• The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)


• The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)


• The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Data Privacy and Information Security Concerns Associated with Cloud Solutions to Impede Growth

The market is developing at a prompt pace, owing to its multi-tasking capabilities across numerous verticals. The arrangement of regulatory policies and governance varies from enterprise to enterprise and country to country. Several countries, such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and others, do not have an allocated body to government regulatory guidelines. Such policies and guidelines must be implemented and controlled by considering multiple factors, such as micro and macro-economic risk factors coupled with the corporate requirements.

The lack of awareness of the solution in developing nations can be considered one of the restraining factors for the market's growth. Such factors are making it challenging for providers to provide solutions to the end-user requirements across developing nations.
