The $210,000 Audit Prep: Why Manual GRC Is Killing Your Margin
The global GRC market has hit $65.2B. If you are still using spreadsheets for compliance, you are overpaying by six figures.
Compliance is not a checkbox. It is a margin protector. The average audit preparation cost for a mid-sized organisation in 2026 is $210,000. Most of that cost is wasted on manual data gathering.
PwC reports that 82% of organisations are increasing compliance tech spend. They are doing this because manual GRC is unsustainable. The global market is now $65.2B because automation works.
Stop managing risk in silos. A unified GRC platform reduces audit friction and eliminates redundant controls. Efficiency is the only way to survive the 2026 regulatory environment.
