GRC
Compliance as a system, not a scramble
A Governance, Risk & Compliance platform that aligns your IT operations with regulatory standards and business objectives — policies, risks, controls, and evidence in one place.
Overview
Audit-ready, all year round
Most compliance programmes live in spreadsheets that go stale the day after the audit. Applaude GRC replaces them with a living system: policy and control frameworks mapped to the standards you certify against, a risk register linked to the controls that treat each risk, and audit trails that build themselves as your team works.
Evidence collection is continuous rather than a quarterly fire drill — and because GRC shares data with Servicedesk and VAPT, change histories and vulnerability management records arrive as evidence automatically. When the auditor asks, the answer is a filter, not a hunt.
Capabilities
What GRC does for you
Policy & Control Frameworks
Author policies, map controls to ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR requirements, and track review cycles.
Risk Register & Assessment
A structured risk register with likelihood/impact scoring, treatment plans, and linked controls.

Frequently asked questions
What is GRC software?
Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) software structures how an organisation manages policies, assesses risks, and demonstrates compliance with standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Applaude GRC combines a policy library, risk register, control framework, and evidence management in one platform.
Which compliance frameworks does Applaude GRC support?
ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR alignment are built in, and the control model is framework-agnostic — one control can be mapped to requirements in several standards at once, so multi-framework programmes don't duplicate work.
How does GRC software reduce audit preparation time?
Because evidence, control activity, and risk treatment are recorded continuously, audit preparation becomes a review exercise rather than a collection exercise. Teams typically reduce audit prep from weeks of document hunting to days of review.
How do risks connect to controls?
Each risk in the register links to the controls that treat it. When a control fails a review or its evidence goes stale, you can see immediately which risks are exposed — turning the register into a live management tool rather than a static document.
