SureCloud®, a supplier of Cloud-based Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced it has been named as a finalist in the 2014 Pathfinder 20 Index of top emerging UK technology companies.  Additionally, SureCloud is included in Pathfinder 20’s top 20 Index.

Selected by a panel of leading UK technology executives, this prestigious list of the top emerging UK technology companies recognises candidates not just for their financial metrics but also other considerations such as growth prospects, innovation and the ability in the longer term to become category leaders.

Among SureCloud’s key achievements during the past year was the introduction of the SureCloud® Platform, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application for automating and simplifying governance, risk and compliance processes without forcing organisations to adopt entirely new practices. SureCloud’s flexibility allows them to automate any GRC process including Compliance Audits, Policy Management, Risk Assessments or Third Party Assurance programmes. The SureCloud Platform supports an agile approach to implementation and includes pre-built templates allowing the solution to be deployed quickly and so deliver immediate value to customers.
“On behalf of SureCloud I am thrilled we have been shortlisted for this coveted award,” said Richard Hibbert, CEO.  “The development of our platform has been driven by the firm belief that the compliance market needs a simple and cost-effective alternative to sophisticated eGRC systems and home-grown spreadsheet-based methods that can help firms make swift, informed decision-making about corporate exposure to risk.  Our customers certainly agree and now with this announcement so too do some of the most influential names in the UK technology sector.”

The Pathfinder 20 Index was founded by August Equity, a private equity firm that works with the highest quality management teams to build creative and market-leading businesses which generate high strategic value for trade buyers.
