NEW YORK, Nov 11 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq, one of world's leading Governance, Risk management and Compliance (GRC) solution providers, has been recognized as the Best Operational Risk & GRC Solution by the RiskTech100 2017 awards in New York.

The awards are organized by Chartis – a leading provider of research and analysis on the global market for risk technology – and recognize effective risk technology and the leading vendors in this area.

“We’re honored to be named as best Operational and GRC software solution,” said Jonathan Deeks, head of BWise, Nasdaq. “Regulatory and market pressures for capital efficiency and transparency are continually building, yet often move in opposing directions.

Only then will it fulfill regulatory requirements and provide increased and sustainable value to the business.”
