Take back controlof your operations

Governance, risk and compliance still runs on spreadsheets
Most GRC programmes are assembled from disconnected tools and workbooks. The cost is not the licence — it is that nobody can answer a simple question about risk without a project.
Risk and controls never meet
The risk register lives in one place and the control inventory in another, so no one can say which risks are actually covered.
Evidence is collected once a year
Control testing is a point-in-time exercise. Between two campaigns, nothing is observed and nothing is proven.
Findings outlive the fix
Recommendations and action plans are tracked in email and slide decks, so closure is asserted rather than evidenced.
Reporting is rebuilt every quarter
Each committee gets its own hand-built pack, assembled from exports, and none of them reconcile.
The whole framework, not one corner of it
An internal control system is many components that only work when they are connected. Select a segment to see what it has to cover — and what falls through when it is run on spreadsheets.
Operating layer
Risk Management Function
We need to consider all levers to setup an efficient, exhaustive, consistent, sustainable risk management framework across the Group. Internal control systems are made of many components that need to be connected: - Scope management / know your business (perimeter & framework) - Governance (decision making – committees – action plan) - Reporting (dashboard KRI KPI) - Role and organisation (perimeter ownership, delegation, performers, who does what – access right, prompt – to do/action plan) - Risk assessment (carto risk – risk scenario (top down / forward looking) – RCSA (bottom up / backward looking) - KRI) - Control (control needs, design, deployment, execution, results, action plan) - Alert, Findings Failure, incident, losses - Action plan (decision, deliverable, target date, Action validation and closure) - Audit (control plan – testing - control assessment) - Information system 💡 IS is what brings all the pieces to communicate together to give a holistic risk management system
Five modules on one platform
A modern GRC platform that connects to your data and adapts to your organisation. Modelled on hierarchical, overlapping perimeters — subsidiaries, divisions, business lines, teams — so every risk, control and finding has an owner.
Enterprise risk management
One taxonomy, with mapping, assessment, appetite and limits built on top of it — a register you steer with rather than maintain.
- Risk taxonomy and risk mappings, on hierarchical perimeters and heatmaps.
- RCSA campaigns built on your own models and calculation formulas.
- Scenarios, events, operational losses and incident management.
- Risk appetite and risk limit monitoring, with dashboards and data-driven KRIs.
- Third-party and project risk management, with automatic questionnaires.
Enterprise governance
The governance layer most GRC tools leave out: the committees, policies and third-party diligence that decide how the rest of it is run.
- Committees and workgroups, policies and procedures, code of conduct.
- Questionnaires, background checks and due diligence.
- Third-party risk and ESG.
- Business continuity — impact analysis, continuity plans and testing.
Internal control and internal audit
Every control documented against the perimeter that owns it and the risks it covers, so a risk-and-control matrix means something and its gaps are visible.
- Control documentation and inventory — manual, automated, semi-automated, checklist or committee.
- Execution, alerts and tasks, generated and tracked in the platform.
- An intelligent risk and control matrix that suggests gaps from your own data.
- Internal audit campaigns, recommendations and action plans.
Regulatory compliance
Obligations expressed as controls on the inventory you already keep, so compliance is evidenced by work you already do rather than a parallel exercise.
- A control library covering a wide range of regulations.
- Automated compliance controls with alerts, tasks and workflows.
- Control and compliance programme deployment tracking.
- The risk and control matrix linked to different regulations.
- Regulatory reporting.
Continuous monitoring and fraud detection
Automated controls running against live data with thresholds you set, so an exception surfaces when it happens rather than at the next campaign.
- Automated controls with customisable detection thresholds.
- A plug-and-play control library for fraud detection.
- AI-assisted real-time detection.
- AI for creating and improving controls.
Differentiator
A non-relational ingestion engine, because GRC data does not stay small
The established GRC platforms are built on relational engines. That is a frequent cause of low-ROI or failed programmes: customers hit a wall at a moderate volume of data, and the programme narrows to fit the tool rather than the risk.
- Built for the volume the programme actually generatesHigh-performance handling of large datasets, so scope is a business decision rather than a technical ceiling.
- AI-authored KRIs and alert rulesRules and indicators configured with AI assistance, so the platform is productive from the first weeks rather than after a build phase.
- Data-driven risk assessmentsAssessments that draw on every GRC data point already in the platform, which is what makes a risk-acceptance decision defensible.
Perimeters
Every risk, control and finding, scoped to who owns it
Model the organisation as hierarchical, overlapping perimeters — subsidiaries, divisions, business lines, teams — and link legal entities to them. Roles are assigned per perimeter, and risks, controls and frameworks are mapped onto it.
- Ownership is explicitOwner, delegate, data manager and performers are recorded on the perimeter, not implied by a distribution list.
- Coverage is visibleUncovered risks, critical items and testing progress show on every perimeter in the hierarchy, so gaps are a number rather than a feeling.
- The trail stays attachedAlerts, tasks and observations accumulate against the perimeter over 30 days and 12 months, which is the evidence an auditor asks for.
What a control looks like in your sector
The control library is generic; the controls you run are not. These are the ones customers ask for most often.
Asset management
Risk limit monitoring, ESG compliance verification, conflicts of interest detection, liquidity control, portfolio surveillance.
Investment banking
Risk limit monitoring, ESG compliance, conflicts of interest detection, liquidity ratios, portfolio monitoring.
Retail banking
Transaction monitoring, AML and KYC compliance, loan analysis, credit procedure compliance, complaint management.
Retail
Sales and refund anomalies, supplier compliance assessment, inventory level monitoring, supply chain traceability.
Public sector
Expenditure audits, grant management, detection of conflicts of interest among officials, citizen data security.
Everywhere else
Expense reports, environmental management, workplace safety, financial irregularities, regulatory compliance.

ExploreEase of implementation is at the heart of our solution
A SaaS platform with a connector library, so onboarding is configuration rather than a technical implementation project.
Onboard without a build phase
SaaS, with the Azure Marketplace available as an option under your existing Microsoft agreement.
Connect what you already run
Connectors and data forwarders for market applications and in-house systems — files, SQL, REST API.
Manage your own connections
A configuration interface for managing connectors and forwarders autonomously.
Start small, scale
Progressive, modular deployment with robust APIs into your existing GRC and reporting stack.
Integrations
Standard connectors available for all your applications
A set of plug-and-play connectors for the vast majority of solutions on the market, plus generic connectors — files, SQL, REST API — for any type of application. The platform can therefore be connected to any system, and each customer gets their own console to manage that configuration autonomously.
