“Can a board-portal company become the dominant enterprise GRC platform by bundling governance, risk, compliance, and audit into a single AI-powered suite?”
Founded in 1994 as a creative agency, Diligent pivoted to SaaS board portal software, becoming the dominant secure board-meeting platform used by 65% of Fortune 1000 companies. After going private via Insight Partners in 2021, it accelerated an acquisition-led expansion from a single board portal into the largest GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) SaaS platform, with 1M+ users across 23,000 organizations. The company now positions itself as the unified 'Diligent One Platform' for board management, risk, compliance, and audit workflows, with AI features layered on top.
Diligent was founded by Brian Henry and Kiri Borg and is founded in 1994, headquartered in New York City, New York, USA.
