Diligent, a global leader in AI-driven governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions, has announced its acquisition of Vault, a pioneering technology firm specializing in AI-powered ethics and compliance tools.
The strategic move will see Vault’s AI-first “Speak Up” platform integrated into Diligent’s comprehensive GRC suite, further advancing both organizations’ commitment to proactive integrity, transparency, and accountability. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Diligent’s platform is widely used by thousands of organizations worldwide to enhance board governance, manage risk, and maintain regulatory compliance. Its advanced AI capabilities enable clients to respond swiftly to evolving regulatory landscapes and foster a culture of responsible leadership.
Vault has earned industry recognition for its innovative approach to ethical reporting, enabling employees to confidentially report misconduct via multilingual digital channels, including mobile apps and web platforms. The platform also equips employers with advanced tools for investigation, analytics, and early detection of behavioral trends.
By combining Vault’s cutting-edge technology with Diligent’s GRC expertise, the acquisition delivers a robust, end-to-end compliance and ethics solution. It also supports organizations in meeting international mandates such as the EU Whistleblowing Directive, offering scalable, confidential tools that promote a culture of trust and accountability.
This acquisition follows Diligent’s recent purchase of Spark Compliance in early 2025, underscoring its strategic expansion into AI-powered ethics management.
The enhanced platform will empower compliance teams with a holistic ecosystem designed to facilitate ethical engagement, identify risk, and ensure regulatory alignment on a global scale.
District Capital Partners served as financial advisor to Diligent, while Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP provided legal counsel. Vault was advised by Raz. Dlugin & Co.
