GRC teams are using AI to replace fragmented risk tools and generate live reports, while 59% still rely on spreadsheets or nothing, the report found.
- Posted Tuesday, Vanta reported in the 2026 State of GRC report that 59% of governance, risk, and compliance practitioners rely on manual spreadsheets, making risk management slow and point-in-time.
