GRC Journey Award winners from the London Summit 2025
Now in their 13th year, the GRC Journey Awards celebrate organizations and leaders who are redefining excellence in GRC. The awards spotlight trailblazers who are embracing innovation, fostering resilience, and setting new standards for effective risk and compliance management across industries. At the heart of this year's awards was the growing impact of AI in GRC as organizations explore new ways for a smarter and more resilient future. Over the last 13 years, more than 250 leading organizations, visionaries, and practice leaders have been recognized for their exemplary achievements, helping organizations to manage and mitigate risk, ensure compliance, and optimize audits by implementing GRC.
The awards recognize companies in the UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The North American GRC Journey Award ceremony will be held at the GRC Summit in Las Vegas in November.
Attended by hundreds of global GRC professionals, the Summit tackled timely topics, from the transformative impact of AI and its application in GRC to strategies for building agile, resilient risk, compliance, and audit programs. MetricStream also presented its AI-first vision and strategy, showcasing how the company is reimagining the future of GRC through agentic and generative AI, intelligent automation, contextual insights, and proactive risk management.

Simplicity and connectedness are emerging as the cornerstones of impactful, AI-first programs," said Gaurav Kapoor, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman, MetricStream.
