GRC-as-a-Service (GRCaaS)

Simplify your governance, risk and compliance operations

Too many spreadsheets. Too little visibility.

Our GRC-as-a-Service (GRCaaS) offering helps you manage your security compliance, risk register, vendor reviews, and exceptions — all in one place. Purpose-built for SMBs, councils, and not-for-profits that need structure, not overhead.

What Is GRC-as-a-Service?

GRCaaS is a managed governance, risk, and compliance platform — combined with expert guidance — to help you operationalise your cybersecurity and compliance program.

Instead of juggling spreadsheets, SharePoint folders, or disconnected tools, we give you:

  • A centralised platform for managing compliance
  • Support in setting up and running your risk register
  • Ongoing updates to align with ISO 27001, Essential Eight, ISM, NIST, SMB1001, etc.
  • A vCISO-style advisor to help drive outcomes, not just manage tools

What’s Included

Platform Setup & Configuration

  • GRC tool setup (we work with platforms like Vanta, CyberOne, Drata, or custom options)
  • Tailored to your frameworks (ISO 27001, Essential Eight, ISM, SMB1001, CMMC, etc.)
  • Role-based dashboards for execs, IT, and risk owners

Risk Management

  • Customisable risk register
  • Risk acceptance and exception workflows
  • Regular risk reviews with your security advisor

Compliance Tracking

  • Pre-loaded controls for your framework(s) of choice
  • Policy mapping and document versioning
  • Audit-ready evidence collection and tracking

Vendor & Third-Party Risk

  • Centralised third-party security reviews
  • Due diligence and contract mapping
  • Optional automation of reminders and approvals

Advisory Support

  • Monthly or quarterly check-ins
  • Action plan tracking and prioritisation
  • Reporting for boards, auditors, and partners

🧑‍💼 Who This Is For

  • Local councils needing Essential Eight/ISM alignment
  • SMBs handling client data and needing ISO 27001-style governance
  • Not-for-profits looking to streamline compliance without hiring
  • Defence suppliers aiming for CMMC Level 1 or 2 readiness
  • Growing businesses prepping for customer/vendor security audits

🎯 Why It Matters

Many organisations don’t need a full-time GRC manager — but they do need to:

  • Track risks and issues
  • Meet compliance expectations
  • Respond to tenders or audits with confidence
  • Show their board they’ve got things under control

Our GRCaaS offering makes this easy, accessible, and scalable — without the enterprise complexity.

📦 Optional Add-Ons

  • Cyber Risk Assessments (as a starting point for GRC)
  • Policy Development & Review
  • AI Governance Integration (see our AI Readiness Assessment service offering)
  • Vendor Security Reviews
