- Archer / Archer IRM (archerirm.com): CLOSEST direct competitor to core edge. "Archer Evolv" reg-intel engine: 4,500+ sources, 170 jurisdictions, 600+ changes/day, 526 compliance-trained AI models, ~95% obligation-extraction accuracy; names DORA/Basel/SEC/FINRA/EU AI Act; DORA Register-of-Information app + Obligations Catalog with citation traceability. Hybrid, assisted-manual assurance; CCM via partners. Jira+ServiceNow sync. ~$55K-$300K+/yr. Weakness: heavyweight/expensive/slow, self-attestation-leaning, not the engineering system-of-record.
- LogicGate Risk Cloud (logicgate.com): no-code GRC; covers both security + explicit FS (FINRA/SEC/OCC/OFAC/FFIEC/GLBA/NYDFS) BUT does NOT author content — relies on CUBE/Ascent/UCF connectors. Spark AI (Jan 2026) first-pass control testing, human-in-loop. Native bidirectional Jira. Quote-only enterprise. Weakness: no raw-law translation, third-party content lag/lock-in.
- ServiceNow IRM (servicenow.com): UCF-native (100K+ mandates, 10K+ common controls); Regulatory Change Management module; DORA supported. Continuous Authorization & Monitoring + CMDB. Auto-generates remediation tasks (own ITSM engine); Jira via Integration Hub. ~$40K-$100K+/yr. Weakness: content UCF-curated not law-derived; assumes data flows into Now Platform.
