Answers buyers, procurement and auditors want

What is the best GRC software in the UK?+

For UK SMEs and scale-ups certifying to ISO 27001, the deciding factors are complete management-system records for a UKAS-accredited certification body, UK GDPR handling, Cyber Essentials alignment and sterling pricing without a mandatory enterprise contract. Larger regulated groups may still need an enterprise suite for entity hierarchies and regulatory change feeds.

How much does GRC software cost in the UK?+

Roughly: enterprise GRC suites from £40,000 per year plus implementation; automation-first compliance platforms £8,000–£30,000 per year; self-serve platforms with published per-workspace pricing you can start immediately. Certification audit fees from your certification body are separate in all cases.

Does GRC software help with UK GDPR?+

It provides the operational spine — records of processing, supplier and data transfer risk in the register, retention and access policies with acknowledgement evidence, and incident and breach records. It is not legal advice, and a DPO or legal adviser should still sign off your lawful bases and transfer mechanisms.

Where is our data stored?+

Data residency, subprocessors and security posture are published in our trust profile so procurement can verify them without a questionnaire round trip.

Does it support Cyber Essentials as well as ISO 27001?+

Yes. Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus requirements sit in the same control crosswalk as ISO 27001 Annex A, so evidence collected for one contributes to the other — useful for public sector and supply chain contracts that require both.

Is it suitable for UK public sector procurement?+

Published pricing, no mandatory sales call and a verifiable trust profile suit framework and below-threshold procurement. Multi-tenant workspaces also fit shared service and group structures.

AI-enabled — privacy-respecting

AI does the drafting. You keep the control — and the data.

How we handle data →
  • AI that assists — not replaces

    Assisted drafting for policies, risks, controls and buyer questionnaires. Every AI suggestion is reviewed and approved by you before it lands in the record.

  • Opt-in, workspace-scoped

    AI features run only when you invoke them, only against the workspace you're in. We never mine your data to answer someone else's prompt.

  • Your data stays yours

    Prompts routed via the AI Gateway to model providers whose API terms exclude your content from model training. Nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

  • Isolated by design

    Row-level security enforces workspace boundaries at the database. MFA, SSO, audit logs and least-privilege roles govern who sees what.

We never sell personal information, never share it for advertising, and never use your workspace content to train third-party models. Full sub-processor list and Acceptable Use Policy on the Trust page.

Why this platform exists

Enterprise-grade governance — built for the SMEs and consultants enterprise GRC forgets.

I've spent 25 years in corporate governance — aligning technology, controls and compliance with what the business is actually trying to do. Time and again, the same pattern: the organisations that win new clients aren't the ones with the biggest GRC budget. They're the ones who can demonstrate trust on demand. This platform is the tool I wanted for the SMEs and consultants I've worked with — institutional-grade governance without an institutional price tag, built on the way audits and buyer reviews actually happen.
