QKS Group Reveals that the Insider Risk Management (IRM) Market is Projected to Grow at a CAGR of 16.30% by 2028

As organizations increasingly collaborate with third parties such as vendors, suppliers, and contractors to reduce operational costs, enhance profitability, accelerate time-to-market, and gain competitive advantage, the amount of shared sensitive data has grown significantly. This includes personally identifiable information (PII), which, when shared with external partners, heightens the risk of data breaches and leaks.

Globalization and digital transformation have further intensified dependence on third-party vendors for critical functions like IT services, payroll management, and logistics. Consequently, any security lapse or data breach at these partners can lead to exposure or theft of sensitive corporate data. To address these evolving threats, Insider Risk Management (IRM) solutions are increasingly being adopted across industries. These tools enable organizations to continuously monitor, detect, and analyze both internal and third-party activities, helping identify vulnerabilities and strengthen overall cybersecurity resilience.

By implementing Insider Risk Management (IRM) systems, enterprises gain deeper visibility into their internal operations and vendor networks, allowing them to mitigate insider and third-party risks effectively. This not only safeguards sensitive information but also supports regulatory compliance and data governance initiatives.
