Overview
Diligent One Platform is Diligent Corporation's unified GRC and board-governance suite, combining board management with enterprise risk management, IT and cyber risk, third-party risk, compliance (including policy management and ethics reporting), and internal audit -- the audit capability traces back to Diligent's acquisition of Galvanize (formerly ACL and Rsam), whose HighBond platform forms the audit and controls-monitoring core.
The audit module supports AI-accelerated risk assessment, agentic evidence collection and AI request management, continuous control monitoring with dynamic compliance mapping, and automated risk-aligned dashboards and board reporting. Diligent reports the platform can integrate with systems such as SAP or Oracle for analytics and supports frameworks including SOX and J-SOX.
Diligent Corporation was founded in 1994 (originally as Manhattan Creative Partners, later Diligent Board Member Services), is headquartered in New York City, and has been privately held since Insight Partners acquired it in 2016 for roughly $624 million. The company reports serving around 25,000 customers and more than 1 million users across 130 countries, with 2,000+ employees.
