GRC trends and insights

We’re proud to share that Diligent Boards has earned a place on the 2026 G2 Best of Software Awards list, recognized as one of the Best Collaboration and Productivity Software Products.

This recognition is especially meaningful because it’s driven entirely by the voices of our customers — the governance professionals, board members and leaders who rely on Diligent every day to collaborate securely and make better decisions.

Why the G2 Best of Software Awards matter

G2 is one of the world’s most trusted software review platforms, relied on by millions of buyers to research and evaluate technology. Its annual Best of Software Awards spotlight top-performing products across categories using only authenticated customer feedback.

For the 2026 awards, rankings were determined exclusively by reviews submitted in the prior calendar year, ensuring results reflect how customers experience products today — not legacy reputation.

Just as importantly, every review is vetted by G2, and award rankings are calculated using a proprietary methodology that weighs customer satisfaction and market presence. This recognition exists for one reason: customers chose to share their experience because Diligent Boards delivers value where it matters most — usability, security, collaboration and outcomes.

In short, this recognition sends a clear message: Diligent brings value to our customers.

A growing pattern of recognition for Diligent

This G2 honor builds on a growing list of industry recognitions across Diligent’s portfolio.

Diligent is the only GRC company recognized as a Leader by all five of the top global analyst firms, underscoring our position as the trusted partner for governance, risk and compliance teams worldwide. Over the years, Diligent Boards has been recognized by G2 reviewers for:

  • Leader — Board Management
  • Board Management Momentum Leader
  • Best Usability — Enterprise
  • Best Results — Enterprise

These distinctions reinforce what customers tell us again and again: Diligent Boards helps organizations collaborate more effectively, streamline governance workflows and maintain confidence in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

Diligent Boards: Built for modern governance and secure collaboration

Collaboration today isn’t just about working together — it’s about doing so securely, transparently and with accountability. Diligent Boards is purpose-built for leadership teams and boards that need:

  • A secure, centralized space for sensitive materials
  • Intuitive tools that drive adoption across diverse stakeholders
  • Seamless collaboration before, during, and after meetings
  • Confidence that governance processes meet the highest standards

Being named one of G2’s Best Collaboration and Productivity Software Products validates that approach — and the impact it has for customers around the world.

Thank you to our customers

Most of all, we want to thank the customers who shared their experiences on G2. Your feedback not only shapes our product roadmap — it helps other organizations find technology they can trust.

We’re honored by this recognition and excited to continue raising the bar for board and leadership collaboration in 2026 and beyond.
