Opinionated by Design: Why Platform plus GRC Wins for FedRAMP20x

TL;DR: I used to approach new tools (think Jenkins) with fixed expectations—only to discover they are often open frameworks that still have to be shaped appropriately to solve a problem. I see the same pattern playing out in security and compliance: GRC applications trying to adapt a compliance story around whatever tools any customer might have, but that flexibility may be diluting security outcomes. Platforms take a different approach, combining thoughtful design and carefully selected tools that are optimized and integrated together along with automation and AI layers to provide higher assurance, faster timelines, and adaptable to whatever compliance framework you need to meet.
