Modern software development and hands-on experience
We come from practice and have gained several decades of specific experience around the daily challenges of risk managers, ICS managers and auditors. It motivates us to develop software that is pragmatic, modern and maintainable.
Founding history and recipe for success
The beginnings of our software go back to 2008, when the founding members worked together on a GRC system of a major Swiss bank. We have been on the market with our product since 2013 and have been continuously working on improving and expanding our software ever since. Together with our customers and ten thousands of users, we have gained countless insights from millions of control executions as well as thousands of risk assessments and audit points and incorporated them into a modern and practical software.
Partnerships
Over the years we have established partnerships with companies whose specific expertise we leverage.
Grant Thornton (https://www.grant-thornton.ch) is one of our partners for consulting services such as ovserving regulatory aspects when implementing an Internal Control System.
Ukatemi (https://ukatemi.com) is our IT security partner, on whose know-how we rely on regarding seucrity audits, risk management, security analysis and penetration testing.
Lively community
Intensive exchange with our customers is a foundation of our work.
We regularly organize customer events to inform about the latest developments in the tool and to promote mutual exchange. This leads to close contacts, intensive collaboration (sometimes also between customers), and always to new ideas that are then incorporated into the software.
