Despite the myriad of challenges they face, such as scaling operations, maintaining a competitive edge, navigating pandemic-related issues, managing recessionary pressures, addressing the shortage of skilled workers, and safeguarding the well-being of their workforce, compliance is often overlooked by fast-growing companies. Businesses must enhance compliance and risk management programs as they expand, especially during periods of economic instability and geopolitical tensions.

Although technology has improved Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) management, compliance issues remain. Businesses need to follow many rules about energy, taxes, trade, the environment, cybersecurity, and worker safety. This is very important in today's business world. These regulatory requirements result in high compliance expenses, which, if improperly handled, may impede expansion.

The first operating system (OS) for each step of a company's compliance journey is anecdotes. It was designed to change how the cloud-powered world views security compliance, turning it into a significant growth engine for start-ups, large corporations, and all in between. Compliance executives can streamline their operations by using automated tools powered by verified data to make compliance more efficient and strategic. For this reason, tales are used by some of the fastest-growing firms in the world, including Navan, Grafana, SimilarWeb, and Amplitude.
