SustainGRC is an AI-native governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform for integrated risk management, sustainability and operational resilience. It helps organisations manage enterprise and cyber risk, run internal audit, test controls, govern AI, withstand disruption and report on sustainability — giving boards evidence that holds up, all on one system of record.

AI is embedded in the workflows — drafting findings, proposing risk-based plans, analysing impact — not bolted on as a chatbot. And it is governed: AI proposes, a named human confirms, and the system records both. No AI-finalised scores, opinions or approvals. Every proposal carries its provenance and evidence chain, with basis-strength shown as high, medium or low rather than invented percentages.

GRC — governance, risk and compliance — describes the disciplines; integrated risk management describes how they should work: one risk language, one control library, one follow-up mechanism shared across risk, audit, compliance and resilience, instead of a tool per function. In practice most “GRC platforms” are point tools acquired and stitched together, so the integration exists in the brochure but not in the data model. SustainGRC is IRM in the strict sense: every function reads the same record, only its owner writes it, and assurance results write back to the risks they examined.

Over twenty-five, spanning assurance and risk (IIA Global Internal Audit Standards, COSO, ISO 31000, ISO 27001, SOX), sustainability (ESRS, GRI, ISSB, TNFD, CDP, GHG Protocol including Scope 3), regional regimes (EU Taxonomy, SFDR, CBAM, FCA anti-greenwashing) and finance-sector standards (Equator Principles, IFC Performance Standards, PCAF). Monitored regulatory change flows into the platform and obligations are tracked to closure — by named owners, not by assumption.

Typically seven to twelve point tools — separate systems for risk registers, audit workpapers, action tracking, carbon accounting, disclosure, supplier assessment and policy management — consolidate onto one platform and one data model. It is modular: most clients start with one function, prove it in a live cycle, and expand.

Weeks, not quarters. The modular architecture, pre-built connectors and AI-assisted configuration mean a first function is typically live within a single cycle — configured to your methodology, not a template. Integrations cover the major ERP, HR and data platforms, with REST APIs for anything proprietary.

Your choice of region — UK, EU, GCC or APAC — with full data residency and tenant isolation; your data never co-mingles. ISO 27001 certified and Cyber Essentials Plus, AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, write-once audit logs, and separation of duties enforced in the architecture: the person who creates a record cannot approve it. You retain full ownership, with export on exit.
