Agiliance, Inc., a leading independent provider of Integrated Risk Management solutions for Governance and Security programs, has announced that its Agiliance RiskVision platform received the highest possible rating, “Strong Positive”, in Gartner’s report titled “MarketScope for IT Governance, Risk and Compliance Management”[1]. A “Strong Positive” rating indicates that a vendor is viewed as a provider of strategic products, services, or solutions; customers continue with planned investments; and potential customers consider the vendor a strong choice for strategic investments. Agiliance was one of nine vendors evaluated in the report.

Agiliance reported 65% growth at 15% profit compounded over the last five quarters. This momentum was fueled by Agiliance RiskVision providing governance and oversight management and intelligence to support IT and non-IT leadership decision making. Designed for organizations under global regulatory siege to fulfill their auditor and board-level obligations, Agiliance RiskVision is the 'operationally-efficient’ solution that enables Chief Risk Officers to manage key risk indicators (KRIs) and Chief Information Officers to assure key performance indicator (KPIs). According to Gartner’s 2013 IT GRCM MarketScope, authored by Gartner chief of research for risk and security, Paul Proctor, “IT GRC products and client requirements remain strong as organizations seek to integrate IT-related risk and oversight into broader governance and enterprise risk programs.”

The Agiliance RiskVision platform provides four integrated solutions for Governance programs:

• Enterprise Risk Management that identifies, assesses, normalizes, and mitigates risk across business units' financial, operations, and IT domains. Agiliance RiskVision uniquely offers automated classification, propagation, assessment, and responses in risk register data tied to business units, with real-time context for user types, custom risk scoring, drag-and-drop visualization of risk heat maps, and analytics trending that supports C-level decision making.
• Supplier Risk Management to allow third-party participation in regulatory and internal policy-driven programs. Agiliance RiskVision provides a secure, ethical wall between supplier and organization data, includes multi-source content from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), FedRAMP, AICPA SSAE16, and Shared Assessments plus workflow visualization to configure on implementation, and organizes risk-based vendor tiers as identified by the organization and independent sources.
• Organization-Wide Policy Management, which provides centralized, multi-group standardization of policy development, attestation delivery, and life cycle management. Agiliance RiskVision ships with 60 out-of-the-box content sources, including authoritative, framework, regulatory, and standards, as well as over 100 pre-built questionnaires, with policies pre-mapped to over 30,000 controls and risks for testing.
• Business Continuity Management for compliance-driven resiliency plans that correlate information on people, policies, systems, dependencies, and tests using pre-defined workflows, status reporting, and improvement actions in business continuity and disaster recovery. Agiliance RiskVision encapsulates the ISO 22301 business continuity standard and integrates these plans across business unit risk registers for inclusion in enterprise and supplier risk scoring.

"In the past year, Gartner has re-defined its view of the IT risk landscape which has resulted in a fresh and compelling perspective for Agiliance, our customers, and partners,” said Joe Fantuzzi, president and chief executive officer at Agiliance. “We believe Paul Proctor's new MarketScope report demonstrates how one analyst can challenge the status quo and recast a technology category to reflect changes in customer requirements and market dynamics. We are pleased to have received Gartner's highest possible MarketScope rating for a fourth consecutive time.”
