Updated with vendor input

The GRC tool market is crowded

and "best tool" is the wrong question

Too many options, same claims

ERM, compliance, controls, incidents, TPRM — every vendor says they do it all. Reality is different once you implement.

Mismatch with maturity

A powerful platform can fail if your data quality, governance cadence, or ways of working aren't ready for it.

Hidden delivery complexity

Reporting, integrations, workflow design, and change management drive cost and timeline — not the demo.

We focus on fit, not hype: "Which tool works for us, in our environment, at our maturity, and budgets?"

We turn your requirements into a defensible shortlist you can explore

Assess your maturity and complexity (risk maturity, data readiness, process discipline, governance model)
Capture your modules (risk, compliance, controls, policy governance, assurance, cyber risk, third party, etc.)
Consider constraints (legal, regulatory, timeline, budget band, internal capacity, "adopt vs customise" preference)
Factor integrations and reporting (hosting, SSO, HR/finance, ticketing, data warehouse/BI, APIs)
Output a ranked shortlist with reasons, trade-offs, and demo focus areas

From confusion to shortlist — fast

Modules, key use cases, reporting expectations, and must-haves.

Shortlist + rationale
