# Are there ERM tools that a 200-person company can actually afford and use without needing an enterprise-scale contract or a dedicated GRC team?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I’m researching whether there are ERM tools that a 200-person company can afford and use without needing an enterprise-scale contract or a dedicated GRC team. Smaller companies may still need structured risk coverage for audits, fundraising, regulatory reviews, or customer assurance, but many ERM platforms are built for much larger teams.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">In the<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/enterprise-risk-management-erm"> </a><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/enterprise-risk-management-erm">enterprise risk management (ERM)</a> category, useful tools for this use case seem to need:</p><ul>

Yeah without a specialist you really want something that kind of runs itself. VComply fits, easy to stand up and people say support moves at your pace, which matters when you don&#39;t have in-house expertise. If it&#39;s more security compliance, Sprinto gets you certified without a compliance hire. Onspring&#39;s a touch more capable and still in reach. Honestly the &quot;no team&quot; part matters more than the price, I&#39;d chase good onboarding and support over feature count.
