The Risk Reckoning

Openly acknowledging GRC challenges might feel uncomfortable at first, but is an essential step to reach this strategic inflection point. For many, that journey will begin when they can start seeing the gaps in GRC as less of sign of failure and more as an opportunity for success.

Methodology

 

Report findings are based on a survey of 152 UK senior executives working in GRC roles at organisations with revenue of over £50m, conducted by CIO Dive on behalf of SureCloud. 81% of those polled had a C-suite role, with the remaining 19% describing their job as EVP, SVP, or VP. Respondents were from a range of industries, including technology, information & communication, manufacturing, retail, transportation & logistics, and financial services.

The survey took place during March and April 2025.
