GRC Has Entered Its Agentic Era. Here’s What That Means For Your Team.

AI has moved from an efficiency gain to enterprise priority faster than almost any technology before it. But for governance, risk, and compliance teams, that shift comes with a hard question: how do you let AI move faster without losing the trust, visibility, and control your program depends on?

Legacy governance, risk and compliance (GRC) tools weren’t built for this moment. They were built for static checklists and point-in-time reviews, not for the pace and scale that agentic AI now makes possible. That’s the gap our Spring 2026 Release was built to close, and the headline is Workflow Agents.

Agents That Do the Busy Work, So You Can Do the Judgment Work Agents That Absorb the Friction, So You Can Drive the Decisions

Workflow Agents mark an inflection point in how GRC programs operate. Risk Cloud® now serves as the agentic orchestration layer for enterprise GRC, repositioning you as the judgment layer inside autonomous, auditable workflows. The agents handle the manual bottlenecks. You make the calls that matter.

We launched seven new AI Agents in early access across four core use cases (Third-Party Risk Management, Enterprise Risk Management, Business Continuity Management, and AI Governance), each purpose-built with skills to accelerate workflows, eliminate mind-numbing manual work, and drive enterprise-wide velocity. And these aren’t hypothetical gains. One customer managing 2,200+ vendors with a team of four estimates the TPRM Agents will save at least 2,000 hours a year, freeing the team to focus on higher-judgment work. Another, facing a backlog of 100+ AI use cases, projects a 75% cut in assessment time, saving more than 1,200 hours annually.

This is the combination GRC teams have never had at the same time: speed, judgment, and scale. More Workflow Agents arrive in August 2026.

A Release That Goes Well Beyond Agents

Workflow Agents lead the story, but the Spring 2026 Release reaches across the entire platform to make your program faster, more connected, and easier to scale.

Spark AI keeps expanding. Nearly 90% of customers onboarded this year are already using Spark AI, and actions are up 50% since January. New Reporting Insights help you analyze large volumes of data inside a single report and point you toward how to act on it, while Automated Evidence Testing removes a critical bottleneck in the control lifecycle by testing control evidence the moment it’s collected.

AI Governance gives you a unified view of AI risk. Connect to your existing program to centrally map your entire AI ecosystem, automatically calculate risk levels based on NIST AI RMF categories, and show the impact of AI initiatives in business terms with clear usage and performance indicators, keeping you aligned with frameworks like the EU AI Act and NIST.

Config Newton works alongside your team. The world’s first agentic GRC engineer builds, optimizes, and deploys GRC workflows in minutes. With this release, Config Newton now helps in-house teams deploy applications 50 to 75% faster, deliver bespoke reporting, and simplify end-user training and adoption. Industry analysts see it as a category-defining move. In its coverage of the launch, IDC wrote that “by deploying an agentic layer purpose-built for GRC engineering tasks, LogicGate moves beyond the general-purpose AI automation that many platform vendors currently offer, positioning itself as a category-defining player rather than simply a feature-competitive one^{.” 1}

Enterprise scalability gets a boost. App-Agnostic Record Search lets you instantly find any Record you have access to across any application. The Sticky Application Switcher lets teams jump between entirely different risk domains in seconds. And Smart Automations fire exactly when needed, autonomously transitioning steps and sending custom alerts so programs scale effortlessly in the background.

Recognition Rooted in Results

The market is taking notice. LogicGate was named one of only four Leaders in The Forrester Wave™: Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms, Q2 2026, earning the highest possible scores across eight criteria including roadmap, user experience, and pricing flexibility and transparency. Forrester noted that “LogicGate’s roadmap shines with ambitious plans to embed agentic AI meaningfully across core GRC workflows to bolster practitioner productivity.”

We were also named one of only three Leaders in the Forrester Wave™: Third-Party Risk Management Platforms, with the highest possible scores across 11 criteria, where Forrester observed that “customers said that LogicGate’s flexible platform drives strong efficiency, visibility, and adaptability across their TPRM programs.” On top of that, LogicGate has now been a G2 Leader for 28 consecutive quarters, with badges across 10 categories.

World Class Leadership Writing the Next Chapter

This release also marks a leadership milestone. Diego Panama becomes CEO on July 1, 2026, bringing deep go-to-market and operational experience to the role, while co-founder Matt Kunkel moves into an Executive Chairman role to keep steering our long-term vision. Together with the recent appointment of CISO Edwin Ng, the team behind this release is built to lead the enterprise AI GRC market through its next phase of growth.
