Governance, Risk & Compliance

Bridge the gap between risk management, compliance, and internal audit—providing a unified GRC platform that strengthens organisational resilience.

Why GRC Matters

Break Down Silos

Risk, compliance, and audit often operate in isolation. ExGear Insight creates a shared data model so all three functions work from the same risk universe, controls library, and evidence base.

Single Source of Truth

Centralise policies, risks, controls, and compliance obligations in one platform. Eliminate version confusion and ensure everyone has access to current, approved information.

Accelerate Assurance

Reduce duplication of effort across first, second, and third lines of defence. Share test results, evidence, and findings automatically across teams.

GRC Capabilities

Governance Framework

Define and manage your governance structure with clarity and accountability.

Business Unit Structure: Organise risks, controls, and reporting by business unit
Committee Management: Track board and committee compositions, mandates, and meeting cadences

GRC–Audit Integration

↔

Shared Risk Universe

Risks identified in GRC feed the audit universe automatically, ensuring audit plans reflect current risk priorities.

Control Linkage

Controls tested by compliance and audit are recorded once—reducing duplication and conflicting assessments.

Unified Findings

Issues identified in audits or compliance reviews are tracked in a single register with consolidated action management.

Combined Reporting

Generate integrated assurance reports showing GRC posture alongside audit results for board and executive committees.

Framework & Standards Alignment

A configurable framework mapping engine — user-defined and AI-assisted — with seeded content for ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, SOX, and HIPAA, a full ESG standards library, and methodology aligned to COSO, ISO 31000, COBIT 2019, and the IIA Standards.
