The Forrester Wave™: IT Risk And Compliance Software, Q2 2008

Forrester evaluated leading IT risk and compliance software vendors across 88 criteria through scripted product demonstrations and found that Agiliance, Archer Technologies, and Brabeion have established early IT risk and compliance leadership thanks to their workflow, risk, and compliance management capabilities and product strategy focus. Vendors CA, Modulo, Relational Security, and Symantec are Strong Performers but lack either key risk management capabilities or breakout product strategies. eIQnetworks still has work ahead but is successfully making the transition from an enterprise security management vendor to an IT risk and compliance vendor. Overall, Relational Security has the most balanced IT risk and compliance capabilities, Archer the strongest strategy, and Symantec the dominant market presence.
