MetricStream has scored the highest of all vendors in terms of the current offering category, which includes the criteria of content management, risk and control management, data management, GRC management and analytics, audit management, GRC breadth and depth, and technical functionality. Today's business and government leaders are focused on understanding and managing unprecedented complexity and volatility, vast and distributed 3rd party ecosystems, the increasing volume and velocity of risks, mounting regulatory pressures, sophisticated cybersecurity threats, and the rapid adoption of cloud, big data, and social technologies. According to the report, "The GRC market is growing because more risk management professionals see GRC platforms as a way to address their top challenges of complexity and scale. They increasingly trust GRC platform providers to act as strategic partners too, although the vendors could do much more to offer industry-specific and domain-specific insight." According to The Forrester Wave™: Governance, Risk, And Compliance Platforms, Q1 2016 report, "MetricStream is pushing GRC boundaries, focusing on the platform and its partners. MetricStream's platform exhibits a very large number of use cases across diverse industries such as energy, healthcare, insurance, food and beverage, and automotive."

"We believe that the report is an exceptionally strong validation from Forrester, highlighting our focus on platform and product innovation, as well as our expansive partner ecosystem," said Gaurav Kapoor, Chief Operating Officer at MetricStream. He continued, "Most MetricStream customers are adopting GRC platform strategies that solve their immediate pain points but also lay the foundation for effective medium and long-term management of governance, risk and compliance.''
