Intelligence Hub · Architecture & data model

Regulation is not the burden. Fragmentation is.

The same risk sits in five systems with five ratings. The Intelligence Hub is the architecture underneath SustainGRC: one data model where every risk, control, finding, incident and disclosure exists once, with one audit trail. Risk, audit, compliance, cyber, resilience and sustainability read the same record — so the three lines stop reconciling and start assuring.

One record · Every line
Signals from ERP, HR, security tooling and suppliers are mapped by an agent into one governed record, confirmed by a named owner, then used by Risk, Controls, Audit, InfoSec, Resilience and Sustainability.

The platform

50+ modules. One data model.

Start with one workflow. Add the next without rebuilding anything. Every module reads and writes the same records, the same audit trail and the same governance agents.

Enterprise Risk Management

One risk inventory and one rating, with appetite monitoring the first and second lines share.

How the agents work

AI-native. Human-accountable.

Governance agents do the reading, matching and drafting. A named person makes every judgement. The record keeps both, so you can show a regulator exactly who decided what, and on which evidence.

Framework coverage

One record. Every framework.

Disclosure requirements and metric mappings are pre-built, so a figure confirmed once can be cited in every report that needs it.

Independence intact

Orchestration is not merging.

One data model does not mean one view for everyone. Each line keeps its own role, its own access and its own judgement — they simply stop arguing about whose spreadsheet is right.

Sarah Schaefer
Having led sustainability in global businesses, I know how hard it is to turn ESG commitments into data a board can trust. SustainGRC treats sustainability as part of governance rather than a separate reporting exercise. Bringing ESG, risk and compliance onto one AI-native platform gives leaders the confidence to navigate regulatory change and make decisions that create long-term value.
