Diligent

Diligent Corporation is a software company headquartered in New York City that provides governance, risk, audit, compliance, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management software-as-a-service products to corporate boards, executives, and risk professionals. The business traces its origins to the 1990s as a board-portal vendor and grew significantly after launching its flagship board-collaboration product, Diligent Boards (originally Boardbooks), which lets directors review meeting materials, sign documents, and communicate securely on tablet and desktop devices.

Through a combination of organic product development and acquisitions — including Galvanize, Steele Compliance Solutions, and others — Diligent has expanded into an integrated GRC platform covering board management, entity management, secure collaboration, audit and risk management, third-party due diligence, ESG and climate reporting, modern slavery and sanctions screening, and policy management. The platform is sold to public, private, and not-for-profit organisations across financial services, healthcare, energy, technology, government, and other sectors.
