Managers need efficient solutions to manage business processes, intellectual property, social media governance, and cybersecurity risks. GRC platforms help manage compliance requirements, risks, policies, and audits. Construction and transportation industries benefit from these solutions.

IoT devices and cybersecurity attacks add to the risks, making GRC platforms essential for businesses in today’s globalized technology landscape. 

Advanced Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) platforms are evolving to leverage new technologies such as mobile technology, big data, social media, and cloud computing. The focus is no longer solely on compliance but rather improving business performance. Cloud computing simplifies compliance execution through central administration, SLA-backed agreements, and vendor-managed infrastructure. It eliminates the need for users to maintain and update IT infrastructure, as well as install extra software to access services and applications.

Market Challenges

Businesses face numerous challenges in managing Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Managers must navigate complex business processes while addressing costs associated with social media governance, cyberthreats, intellectual property protection, and changing regulatory environments. Compliance requirements span various industries, including construction and engineering, transportation and logistics, and financial institutions. Deploying GRC platforms can be costly and complex, with on-premises deployment requiring significant resources. Audit and risk management, policy management, and compliance management are essential components, but integration with AI, machine learning, predictive analytics, real-time monitoring, and technology like Azure Purview, IoT devices, and cybersecurity attacks adds complexity. Globalization and technology integration further complicate matters. High implementation expenses and the complexity of integration pose challenges. To address these issues, businesses turn to GRC software solutions like MetricStream, Oracle’s eGRC suite, IT Telecom, EC-Council, and Wolters Kluwer. These solutions help manage risks and ensure compliance with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, GDPR, COBIT, and HIPAA.Businesses rely on Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) platforms to manage and mitigate risks associated with data security in the cloud. While cloud services offer convenience and ease of access, they also introduce new vulnerabilities. Data security is a major concern for organizations as they grant access to their sensitive business information to cloud service providers. Despite assurances of top-tier security standards and certifications, storing data externally increases the risk of breaches. The public nature of the cloud makes it more susceptible to attacks, and the ease of procuring and accessing cloud services can create potential loopholes for cybercriminals to exploit. Organizations must implement GRC solutions to ensure compliance with regulations, secure data, and mitigate risks in the cloud environment.

Fathom Applauds Introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the First Federal Blueprint for Independent AI Verification

Published

on

By

Reps. Lori Trahan (D-MA-03) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA-23) introduce a bill to build a competitive marketplace of independent verifiers for frontier AI models.

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fathom welcomes the introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the most complete federal framework yet for independent, third-party verification of frontier AI. The legislation is built to earn public trust as AI technology continues to accelerate. As frontier systems begin to take autonomous action in the world, the gap between what these models can do and our ability to keep them in check is widening. FRONTIER is the starting point to close that gap.

“AI governance keeps running into the same wall. The technology is hard to measure and it moves faster than any law can keep up with,” said Andrew Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Fathom. “Trying to write the perfect rules and freezing them in place won’t work. What will work is a competitive market of independent verifiers who are accountable for real-world outcomes and who the government can actually count on. The FRONTIER Act shows we can move fast and still get this right.”

The bill gets the fundamentals correct. It sets one public standard – the adequate mitigation of catastrophic risk – and holds both the AI companies and their independent verifiers accountable to it. FRONTIER does not freeze a single testing method into statute. Instead, it licenses competing verification organizations, allows them to sharpen their methods, and gives the government the power to revoke a license when a verifier’s work does not hold up in the field. That is how you build a system that keeps pace with the science instead of falling behind it.

Fathom thanks Reps. Trahan and Obernolte for their leadership, and for their courage in releasing a discussion draft, inviting scrutiny, and incorporating substantive improvements from across the field. One priority improvement as the bill advances: giving the government a fuller range of tools to act upstream – for pushing companies to close identified gaps in risk mitigation early, rather than only once a catastrophe is imminent. We are committed to working with these sponsors, committees of jurisdiction, and Congressional leadership to continue refining the bill in the weeks and months ahead.

About Fathom
Fathom is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to build a governance architecture that helps society navigate the transition to a world with AI by fostering trust, safety, and innovation. Fathom has developed and championed the independent verification model for AI and works with policymakers across the country to put it into practice. Learn more at http://fathom.org.
