European GRC
One Platform.
Every Intersection.
European regulation isn't a checklist. It's an ecosystem. GDPR, NIS2, DORA, the AI Act, and a dozen more frameworks touch the same data, systems, and vendors. SimpleRisk connects them all in one place.
The Problem
Your Regulators Don't Operate in Silos. Your GRC Shouldn't Either.
Most organizations assign each regulation to a separate team, tool, and spreadsheet. The result is fragmented evidence, duplicated effort, and a board that sees project status instead of real risk.
One drawer per regulation. No shared view.
- GDPR Privacy Team Drawer 1
- NIS2 Security Team Drawer 2
- DORA IT Risk Team Drawer 3
- AI Act Data Science Team Drawer 4
- Data Act Legal Team Drawer 5
Same vendor. Same incident. Same data. Five teams. Five different answers.
One control can satisfy five regulations at once.
- ✓ Shared control library across all frameworks
- ✓ Evidence tagged once, mapped to every obligation
- ✓ Overlapping obligations surfaced automatically
- ✓ Third-party risk visible across DORA, NIS2 & GDPR
- ✓ Board sees exposure, not project activity
That's how SimpleRisk handles the European regulatory ecosystem.
How SimpleRisk Works
From Fragmented Projects to Integrated Governance
SimpleRisk connects your obligations, controls, and evidence into a single architecture, so your team spends less time reconciling spreadsheets and more time reducing actual risk.
Map Your Obligations via the Secure Controls Framework
SimpleRisk integrates with the Secure Controls Framework (SCF), a meta-framework that maps across GDPR, NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and dozens more. One import, all frameworks connected. No manual crosswalk spreadsheets.
Tag Evidence Once. Satisfy Many Obligations.
Attach evidence to a common control and mark it pass or fail. SimpleRisk automatically propagates that status across every framework that control supports: GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 simultaneously.
See Your Posture Across Every Framework at a Glance
The compliance dashboard shows pass/fail status per framework in real time. Gaps appear where they actually exist, not where a separate team's spreadsheet says they might. The board sees exposure, not busyness.
Cross-Framework Control Mapping
One Control. Multiple Frameworks. Real Evidence.
This is what integrated GRC looks like in practice. A single control assessed once, with real evidence attached, drives compliance status across every mapped framework automatically.
| Control (via SCF) | Status | Evidence Attached | Frameworks Satisfied |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encryption at Rest & In Transit | ✓ Pass | TLS config report, KMS audit log | GDPR Art.32 NIS2 DORA ISO 27001 |
| Third-Party ICT Risk Assessment | ⚠ In Review | Vendor questionnaire (Q1 2026) | DORA Art.28 NIS2 GDPR Art.28 |
| Incident Detection & Response Plan | ✓ Pass | IR runbook, tabletop exercise log | NIS2 DORA GDPR Art.33 ISO 27001 SOC 2 |
| AI System Risk Classification | ⚠ Gap Identified | None yet | EU AI Act GDPR NIS2 (partial) |
| Access Control & Identity Management | ✓ Pass | IAM policy, access review Q4 2025 | GDPR NIS2 ISO 27001 SOC 2 CC6 HIPAA |
| Data Residency & Transfer Controls | ✓ Pass | SCCs, data map, hosting agreement | GDPR Ch.V Data Act Data Gov. Act |
Illustrative example. Your controls, your evidence, your frameworks, all connected in SimpleRisk via the Secure Controls Framework integration.
Evidence Management
Tag Once. Satisfy Many.
In Europe, the question isn't just whether a control exists. It's whether you can demonstrate accountability. SimpleRisk lets you attach evidence to a common control and immediately see its status against every framework that control supports.
Evidence tagged to a control
Upload your penetration test report once. Tag it to the "Vulnerability Management" control. SimpleRisk maps that evidence across ISO 27001, NIS2, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS simultaneously. No duplication, no reconciliation.
Pass / fail status per framework
Set a pass or fail status on a common control and the result flows through to every framework that control satisfies. Auditors see what they need. The board sees what they need. No translation required.
Auditor-ready at any time
European regulators expect demonstrable accountability, not just a list of controls. SimpleRisk generates auditor-facing compliance reports showing which evidence satisfies which obligation, with full timestamps and ownership trails.
Gap analysis across the ecosystem
The compliance dashboard makes gaps visible across all frameworks simultaneously. When a control fails under DORA, you'll see immediately which other frameworks are also affected, before your auditor does.
Data Sovereignty
Sovereignty Isn't Just About Where Your Data Lives.
European regulators are asking who controls your data, not just where it's stored. SimpleRisk's self-hosted deployment gives you the answer to every question on that list.
-
You control the encryption keys
Your infrastructure, your KMS, your keys. No shared tenancy, no cloud provider key custody.
-
You choose the jurisdiction
Deploy on EU infrastructure under EU legal frameworks. No third-country data transfer exposure.
-
No lock-in. Full exit rights.
Open-source roots mean you can always export, migrate, or self-manage. No vendor dependency risk.
-
Protected from third-country access requests
Self-hosted means no U.S.-jurisdiction cloud provider that could be subject to foreign government access requests for your GRC data.
