We’re thrilled to announce that CoreStream GRC has won a GRC industry innovation award, cementing our status as a true disruptor and innovator in the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) space by GRC analyst, author, and founder of The GRC Report, Michael Rasmussen.
Recognizing true innovation in the GRC market
As highlighted in Michael’s recent announcement, this award celebrates our commitment to transforming traditional GRC technology. The GRC 20/20 Research judges were particularly impressed by CoreStream GRC’s ability to combine powerful, enterprise-level capabilities with unparalleled configurability and ease of use.
“GRC 20/20 Research, LLC is proud to honor CoreStream GRC with a 2025 GRC Innovation Award in the Enterprise Integrated GRC Architecture & Platforms category. CoreStream delivers one of the most intriguing and flexible GRC architectures in the market: a modular, no-code platform that is both intuitive and scalable, delivering high value in even the most complex environments.”
Flexibility at the heart of CoreStream GRC’s success
At CoreStream GRC, we’ve always believed that flexibility isn’t just a feature, it’s a core philosophy to make technology an enabler, not a barrier. For over 12 years, we’ve built a platform that empowers organizations to tailor their GRC systems to their exact needs, instead of forcing them to fit into rigid, outdated models. We’re the GRC platform that truly works for you.
“The secret to our success is not just what we do but how we do it — that is very much the CoreStream GRC USP. It’s an honor to be recognized by Michael, who has seen so many GRC platforms and particularly praised our flexibility. Michael has brilliantly captured the heart of CoreStream GRC: we exist to challenge traditional players, shake up outdated approaches, and empower organizations to take control of their risk and compliance journeys on their own terms.”
says Richard Eddolls, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at CoreStream GRC.
Challenging the status quo of Traditional GRC
For too long, the GRC market has been dominated by large, monolithic solutions that create more pain than progress. We built CoreStream GRC to “break the mold” as recognized in the win. Our mission has always been to provide a truly configurable, user-centric alternative, enabling organizations to build the exact solution they need without compromise.
“CoreStream GRC flips the narrative. Instead of being another complex, heavy platform, it offers an architecture that organizations can shape to fit their workflows, culture, and terminology. It enables risk and compliance teams to become strategic contributors, not administrative bottlenecks.”
This award validates our challenger spirit and proves that organizations are demanding more, more adaptability, more transparency, and more control over their compliance and risk management journeys for true value-based GRC.

A key reason behind this award win is our approach to customer relationships. We don’t just deliver software, we become a trusted partner in our clients’ risk and compliance evolution. Our highly engaged community, rapid response times, and continuous product improvements reflect our commitment to customer success above all else.
