The 2025 IT Risk and Compliance Benchmark Report offers critical insights into the evolving landscape of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). With survey data from leading organizations, the report reveals key trends such as the rise of centralized GRC teams, increased adoption of common controls frameworks, and proactive risk management strategies. Companies are aligning GRC practices with business goals, leveraging technology to reduce manual tasks, and recognizing GRC as a driver of operational resilience and strategic growth.

Explore how organizations are addressing challenges like third-party risks, regulatory complexities, and AI governance. The report also includes practical strategies for improving GRC maturity, managing budgets, and enhancing compliance operations. This must-read resource equips businesses with the knowledge to stay ahead in a rapidly changing risk environment.

Join us as we unveil the findings from Hyperproof’s sixth annual IT risk and compliance benchmark report. Each year, we ask over 1,000 GRC professionals about their pain points, IT risk and compliance budgets, staffing, risk management best practices, and much more to provide an in-depth view of the market’s current state and what to expect for the coming year.
