MetricStream Launches New Innovations on M7 Integrated Risk Platform, Empowering Organizations to Accelerate Sustainable Growth with Risk-Aware Decisions

SAN JOSE, CA October 26, 2020 – MetricStream, the independent market leader in enterprise cloud applications for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), today announced the release of the latest version of its M7 Integrated Risk platform, with multiple innovations that will enable customers to adopt simple, agile and intelligent approaches to proactively address the changing workforce, risk, regulatory, and cybersecurity landscape.

Organizations today need to adapt to the expectations of a changing workforce, creating a culture of risk-aware decision making, inclusion and compliance to succeed in an environment where risk is permeating through all levels of the organization.  The volume and velocity of interconnected risks, and the increasing need for harmonization and aggregation, have made the involvement of frontline stakeholders critical to the proactive mitigation of risks. MetricStream’s innovations are designed to help address this challenge across the extended enterprise by enabling a modern integrated risk approach, powered by intelligence and frontline engagement.

As the world adapts to the New Normal with the changing workforce, most organizations have accelerated their digital transformation of GRC functions. The M7 Integrated Risk platform unites data, removes information silos, accelerates the efficiency of risk, compliance, and cyber risk programs, and serves as a single source of truth for real-time, risk-aware decision making
