Galvanize HighBond

Galvanize HighBond (now part of Diligent) is a sophisticated SaaS platform designed to aggregate and automate enterprise-wide Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) activities. Architecturally, it is built on a modular framework that consolidates risk assessments, audit workflows, and compliance tracking into a single source of truth. Its core differentiator is the integration of ACL Robotics—a powerful data automation engine that allows organizations to perform continuous monitoring of high-volume transactions, moving beyond sample-based auditing. By 2026, HighBond has solidified its position in the market as an AI-augmented platform, utilizing machine learning to predict risk trends and identify control failures in real-time. The platform addresses the fragmentation often found in legacy GRC systems by providing a unified data model that connects strategic objectives to operational risks and regulatory requirements. It is particularly valued by heavily regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and energy, where the cost of non-compliance is high and data complexity is extreme. The technical stack supports high-scale data ingestion and features a robust RESTful API (HighBond API) for seamless connectivity with ERP systems like SAP and Oracle.
