IT Governance, Risk and Compliance (ITGRC) Tools August 2009

For 2011 list follow this link

Here are the updated links for the IT-GRC vendors, IT-GRC wanna be GRC vendors, and some IT based risk management tool/software providers.

There is still a thin line between IT, Financial and ERP GRC solution providers.

I have noticed that SAP has created its own GRC context where GRC means a lot of other things... SoD- Segregation of Duties, entitlements management, users access/authorization for applications/transactions, audit managment, role management etc.Basically a dull extention of IT audit controls. SAP's Virsa and SUN's Vaau acqusitions are good examples of this trend. That is not GRC -- that is mediocre IT controls audit. The term GRC is used without any consideration. This statement is also valid for the other usual suspects l(Oracle, PeopleSoft, Hyperion, JD Edwards,)

Here is a quick M&A update from last post:
Brabeion is acquired by Archer (Big News)
Controlpath is acquired by Trustwave.
Paisley is acquired by ThomsonReuters
Iconium is acquired by Logicalis
IBM dropped their own suite and working with Modulo
Favored GRC has a new name Highpoint GRC
Achiever is gone
I looked at ACL, Approva,Aveksa,Opentext,SecurityWeaver, Xpandion, Spatiq solutions,, I will be checking these vendors in the future, these solutins tend to manage ERP security only)..

I still need time to add URL links for the well known risk assessment methodologies. A little bit googling will take you to the right resources if you want to build your won system using a methodology or a framework.
Methodologies for Risk Assessment and Management listed below can be used at IT operations... Endless discussion for quantifying the risks... I like ISO 27000 series to lead, but each case is different.
