IBM Security Active Governance Services + Xacta

Automating and centralizing ITRM operations across the enterprise

The rising costs of compliance and its challenges are real.

Too many global and local compliance requirements

No single source of truth, and too many disparate programs and tools

An increasingly complex hybrid enterprise

Too many controls to test and report on, as well as audit fatigue

Visibility to assure leadership risks are being mitigated
