GRC System - Connected Governance, Risk & Compliance

Trusted by hundreds of businesses, from startup to enterprise

What Is a GRC System?

A GRC system is the operating framework that connects how your organisation governs, manages risk, and ensures compliance.

It's made up of:

People

Responsible owners and decision-makers

Processes

Policies, reviews, and risk assessments

Technology

Tools that enable consistency and traceability

The best GRC systems make governance visible, risk manageable, and compliance repeatable.

The Core Components of a GRC System

1. Governance

  • Policies, leadership roles, and review schedules
  • Accountability and version control
  • Integration with management reviews

2. Risk

  • Central risk register with scoring and controls
  • Risk treatments linked to actions
  • Automated follow-up reminders

3. Compliance

  • Requirements register (standards, legal, contracts)
  • Mapped controls and evidence
  • Internal audit tracking and reporting

Together, these modules create an end-to-end traceable workflow.

Why You Need an Integrated GRC System

Break down silos

Everyone works from the same information

Simplify audits

All records are connected to evidence

Reduce duplication

One control can meet multiple requirements

Improve accountability

Each process has an owner and a due date

An effective GRC system doesn't just store data — it builds assurance.
