By combining our expertise with ZignSec and its other businesses, we’re setting a new standard for global compliance and risk intelligence.”

This worldwide presence positions G2RS to support clients in tackling the growing risk and compliance challenges in an increasingly interconnected world.

“Holistic risk management is no longer optional—it’s essential,” said Rochelle Blease, president of G2RS. “We believe our continued investments will empower businesses to stay ahead of global compliance demands, safeguard their operations, and drive sustainable growth in an ever-evolving market.”

This acquisition reflects G2RS’ commitment to advancing the field of risk management by leveraging technology, expertise, and data while helping clients avoid risks and confidently meet compliance obligations.
