SimpleRisk is an Integrated Risk Management (IRM) and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform built for organizations that need enterprise-class capabilities without enterprise-class price tags or implementation timelines. Founded by security practitioners and rooted in open source, SimpleRisk gives risk, compliance, and security teams a single system of record for managing the full lifecycle of risks, controls, policies, vendors, audits, and incidents; with the flexibility to adapt to how your program actually operates. What SimpleRisk Helps You Do Identify, assess, prioritize, and track risks from initial discovery through mitigation and closure. Map controls to industry frameworks and continuously demonstrate compliance. Centralize policies with version control, approval workflows, and user attestations. Manage third-party risk through structured vendor assessments. Document and respond to incidents. Plan, execute, and report on audits. Bring your asset inventory, documents, and evidence into one place so audit prep stops being a fire drill. Core Capabilities * Risk Management: Configurable risk register with multiple scoring methodologies (Classic, CVSS, DREAD, and more), customizable risk fields, mitigation tracking, residual risk calculation, and full risk lifecycle workflows. * Compliance & Audit Management: Map controls to common frameworks, run control tests, manage findings, and centralize audit evidence in one place. * Policy Management: Author, review, approve, publish, and track attestations on policies and procedures with full version history. * Vendor / Third-Party Risk Management: Send and score vendor questionnaires, track vendor risk over time, and tie vendor risk into your enterprise risk register. * Incident Management: Capture, classify, and respond to security and operational incidents with structured workflows and reporting. * Asset Management: Maintain an asset inventory tied to risks, controls, and vendors so you can see exposure in context. * Document Management: Centralize and version-control supporting documentation, evidence, and artifacts. * Reporting & Dashboards: Out-of-the-box reports plus custom views to communicate risk posture to executives, auditors, and the board. * Customization Without Code: Add custom fields and forms to fit your program without engaging a developer or a six-figure professional services engagement. Frameworks and Standards SimpleRisk supports the frameworks that mid-market and regulated organizations actually use, including ISO 27001/27002, SOC 1 and SOC 2, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, CMMC, and the CIS Controls, plus the ability to import or build your own custom control sets. Integrations SimpleRisk integrates with leading vulnerability scanners (including Tenable, Rapid7 and Qualys), single sign-on via SAML, LDAP/Active Directory for user provisioning, and exposes a REST API for connecting to ticketing systems, SIEM, and the rest of your security and IT stack. Deployment Options * SimpleRisk Core (Free & Open Source): A fully functional risk management platform under an open source license. Self-host on your own infrastructure with no vendor lock-in. * SimpleRisk On-Premise (Commercial): Self-hosted with the full Enterprise Extras (custom fields, advanced reporting, compliance management, vendor management, and more) plus commercial support. * SimpleRisk Hosted (SaaS): Fully managed cloud deployment with the same capabilities as On-Premise, available in US and EU regions.
