Modules in Essentials
Trusted by customers and rated highly across all categories
Trusted by 100+ organizations
After risk, most teams add compliance
Essentials is GRC software — not a separate compliance product. Track obligations, map controls, collect evidence, and connect compliance work to the risks and objectives already in your workspace.
In practice
Most customers start with risk, then add compliance, strategy, and incidents on the same workspace — without buying separate products.
Evaluation
Most organizations evaluating risk and compliance tools encounter a few common approaches. Essentials is designed to address the limitations of each.
Broad capabilities across risk, audit, and compliance
Complex to implement and maintain; often limited adoption outside specialist teams
Structured risk registers and incident management
Limited connection to strategy and enterprise-wide decision-making
Practical ERM that connects risk to strategy and compliance and engages business teams
Focused on usability and adoption rather than deep customization
Artificial intelligence
Essentials includes AI-powered tools that support risk and compliance activities directly within your workflows — helping teams move faster, surface insights, and take action.
The gap
Many organizations invest in risk and compliance tools, but still struggle to make risk management work in practice.
Risk is owned by a small team, with limited engagement from the business. Ownership and risk culture fail to take hold across the organization.
Traditional GRC platforms are difficult to implement, maintain and use, while point solutions solve only part of the problem.
Risks are tracked, but not meaningfully linked to objectives or decision-making. Risk registers grow quickly and lose relevance.
Vendor and external risks are managed separately, without a unified view.
Essentials is designed to address these challenges directly—making risk management practical, connected to strategy, and adopted across the organization.
