The State of GRC in the Age of AI

When a general-purpose AI platform fails, no one can say where the failure happened. When an agent fails, the failure has an owner. That distinction is reshaping how GRC teams buy: 64% now prefer targeted agentic AI built to execute specific tasks over broad, all-in-one platforms, a figure that climbs to 70% among risk-focused buyers. 

Drata and AWS unpacks the accountability problem behind the 71% audit-failure rate and shows how leading teams are rewriting procurement around a single question — what is this AI accountable for? Expect a practical framework for vendor scorecards, contract language, and board reporting that holds AI to account.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why “trust” is becoming a board-level priority
• How to reposition GRC as a growth engine—not a blocker
• Language and metrics that resonate with executives
• How the most mature organizations tie trust to revenue, brand, and velocity
