EMC said Monday that it will acquire privately held Archer Technologies, a maker of governance, risk and compliance software.

The company said that it will close the deal in the first quarter (statement, blog post). The plan is to lump Archer's risk management software into EMC's RSA security division. Archer's software allows companies to visualize and manage risks to physical and virtualized environments.

Archer has more than 6 million licensed users and counts 25 of the Fortune 100 as customers such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Procter & Gamble.

The Archer portfolio looks something like this:
