Commenting on PwC, the report states that, “PwC's enterprise GRC offerings are organized around AI-based offerings Advise, Solution, and Operate, which bring together strategy, engineering, operations, and managed services to help clients manage enterprise risks, navigate complex regulations, and build resilient control environments that are tech forward and AI enabled.”

It goes on to say, "PwC positions enterprise GRC as both a transformation and an operational play by combining strategy and regulatory advisory to determine the best way forward. From there, designs move into solution build and platform implementation, standing up enabled AI-enabled workflows, testing cadence, and reporting. When ongoing support is needed, PwC provides managed services for regulatory testing and monitoring, policy compliance, risk and issue management, and reporting, delivered as a co-source or fully operated models."

On PwC's strengths, the report states, “PwC positions enterprise GRC as an integrated risk management (IRM) program that connects people, process, data, and technology around a common operating model with shared taxonomies and architecture. By doing so, governance becomes the framework through which the business operates. It helps clients envision, launch, and optimize IRM while standardizing policy, controls, and reporting.”

“Good governance, effective compliance, and confident risk management can be the fuel for growth and reinvention, helping companies to navigate complexity, built trust and manage cost. Our end-to-end GRC offerings, underpinned by AI and managed service capabilities, are designed to help companies achieve this faster and gain competitive advantage.”
