What you get

A complete GRC core, at no cost

SimpleRisk Core is the free, open-source foundation of the platform. It is not a trial or a stripped-down teaser. It is a working GRC program you can put into production with unlimited users.

  • Governance. Define the frameworks and controls your program is built on.
  • Risk Management. Submit risks, maintain a living registry, and plan mitigations.
  • Compliance. Define unlimited tests across your frameworks and controls.
  • Asset Management. Automated discovery plus manual addition.
  • Self-Assessments. Pre-configured for CIS Controls, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, and PCI DSS.
  • Reporting. Graphical dashboards and dynamic, custom reporting.
  • Configurable and role-based. Customizable dropdowns, user roles, and permissions.

Register for free

Two more features, still free

Registering your instance (also free) unlocks two things worth having from day one:

  • One-click upgrade. Stay current without the manual steps.
  • Secure Controls Framework. Access to 250+ frameworks, mapped for you.

Support and setup

Run it your way

Install via scripted setup, a virtual machine, Docker, or a manual install, on Unix, Linux, or Windows. It is written in PHP with a MySQL back-end.

Open-source support is email only, with no SLA. When your program grows and you want guaranteed response times, paid Extras, and more, that is where On-Premise and SaaS come in.
