At CoreStream GRC, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with the Women in GRC Awards 2025. As sponsors of the Chief Risk Officer Award, we’re proud to champion the women who are challenging norms and redefining the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) profession.

This coming summer, the Women in GRC Awards will honor the women driving meaningful change in a sector that, frankly, needs it. With women making up just 15-20% of GRC professionals—a far cry from the 45% representation of women in the global workforce—it’s time for bold action. Together with Women in GRC, we aim to shine a light on the remarkable women who are not just participating in GRC but transforming it.

We’re also proud to announce that Sophie Lis, CoreStream GRC’s Director of Compliance and Governance, will serve on the judging panel. Sophie’s strategic and innovative perspective embodies CoreStream GRC’s dedication to driving equality and amplifying recognition for outstanding talent in the industry.

Why we’re backing the Women in GRC movement

The Women in GRC Awards stand for more than celebration—they’re about challenging an outdated reality. According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2020, gender parity is still nearly a century away. That’s unacceptable. The Women in GRC initiative is a direct response to this gap, shining a spotlight on exceptional women and advocating for greater opportunities, representation, and leadership in a profession where they remain vastly underrepresented.

At CoreStream GRC, we share this challenger spirit. As a company built on driving change in how organizations approach GRC, we are relentless in our pursuit of better systems, better results, and better representation.

• We care about our community and the people within it. Empowering women in GRC is not just a checkbox—it’s a necessity.
• We challenge outdated systems, attitudes, and processes because “good enough” has no place in our world.
• We simplify complexity to open doors and create opportunities for everyone.
• We deliver what we promise, ensuring our platform and people empower others to succeed.
