GRC Policy Engine replaces a $20k–$80k consulting engagement with an AI that knows your frameworks inside-out. Upload your existing policies, answer targeted questions, and walk away with audit-ready documentation — in days, not months.
Whether you outsource the work or grind it out in-house, building and maintaining a real policy set is painfully expensive — and the result rarely matches what the framework actually demands.
Option A — Hire it out
Senior GRC consultants bill $250–$450/hr for work that is largely templated. SOC 2 Type II runs $30k–$60k; ISO 27001 $40k–$80k; HITRUST $50k–$150k. Every framework you add multiplies the bill.
Spreadsheets, interviews, questionnaires, revisions. The timeline stretches across half a year — long after you needed the cert to close the deal that triggered the audit in the first place.
You pay $50k for a policy package that's already stale by month four — your tech stack moved, the framework version updated, and the consultant has long since invoiced and moved on.
Option B — Do it in-house
A senior compliance hire costs $180k–$220k fully loaded. The 200–400 hours they spend drafting and revising policies is 200–400 hours not spent on the security work that actually reduces risk — vulnerability remediation, threat modeling, vendor reviews, incident response.
Your team writes from how you operate. The framework demands specific language, frequencies, named owners, evidence types, and review cadences. The translation gap surfaces as audit findings — which means another remediation cycle, more meetings, more rework.
ISO 27001 moved from 2013 to 2022. SOC 2 TSC keeps revising. HITRUST CSF version bumps. Every framework update means re-reading every policy, finding what changed, updating language, re-approving — and the person who knew why each clause was scoped that way may have already moved on.
Both paths produce the same compounding outcome: documents that drift from reality, audit findings that pile up, and rework that eats your team's real security time.
How it works
Six steps. No GRC background required.
Five-minute onboarding: industry, team size, tech stack, and target frameworks. This context shapes every question and policy that follows.
If you already have any documentation, drop it in. The AI maps content to framework controls, identifies gaps, and skips questions about what you already cover.
A GRC-expert AI asks only the questions your documents didn't answer. No 200-item spreadsheet. Just a focused conversation about what's actually missing.
See exactly where you stand — compliant, partial, or gap — across every control domain, with a prioritized remediation list before your audit.
One click produces every policy your assessment needs. Two .docx versions per policy: a clean auditor copy and a mapped copy with Word margin comments tying every section to the controls it satisfies.
Generate a token-protected link your auditor can open without an account. They see your scorecard, download policies, and leave structured feedback — Affirm, Suggest, Dispute, or Question — directly on any policy section.
Features
An expert GRC AI walks you through your compliance gaps domain by domain — asking only what it actually needs to know, based on your specific org and uploaded documents.
Upload existing policy docs (PDF, Word, or text). The AI extracts content, maps every clause to the relevant framework controls, and flags precisely what's missing.
The core differentiator: one policy set that satisfies ISO 27001 AND SOC 2 simultaneously. Cross-mapped at the policy statement level — not just a control matrix.
Mint a read-only link to share with your external auditor. They review the scorecard, download Word policies with margin comments, and leave Affirm / Suggest / Dispute / Question feedback on any section. No accounts required.
Every identified gap comes with a callout explaining what's missing, what evidence is needed, and the priority for your upcoming audit — with one-click status changes.
Use Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or Azure OpenAI with your own API key. Your prompts and your policy text never traverse our shared inference quota — popular with security-conscious teams that already have AI procurement contracts.
For auditors
Auditors are paid to dispute the spirit of every control, not just check that the document exists. Generate a read-only portal link, send it over, and they review without needing to create an account, install anything, or learn another tool.

The annual review cadence isn't paired with a named role. SOC 2 CC1.3 wants explicit ownership — recommend assigning to the CISO with calendar evidence.
Solid escalation matrix and clear RTO/RPO commitments. Maps cleanly to ISO 27001 A.5.24.
Add explicit mention of annual security review for Tier 1 vendors. Your current language allows annual or biennial which won't pass HITRUST.
The key differentiator
Most tools give you a control matrix showing which frameworks overlap. GRC Policy Engine goes further — it writes a single unified policy document where each statement is mapped to its ISO 27001 clause, SOC 2 criterion, and HITRUST control simultaneously. One approval. One audit trail. No duplication.

Trust & security
We're building a tool that helps you pass audits. We hold ourselves to the same standard, and we're transparent about what's in place today vs. what's still on our roadmap.
A note on transparency
We're a young product. Some of the items on the roadmap above are non-negotiable for a security-conscious enterprise customer; others are differentiators we're working toward as we mature. We'd rather show you exactly where we are than overstate it. If you have specific compliance requirements you need before signing, let us know — we prioritize against real customer commitments.
Whether you're a solo CISO at a 200-person SaaS company or a compliance team at a 900-person healthcare firm.
Pricing
We're finalizing our pricing tiers as design partners help us shape the product. In the meantime, here's what each tier will include — talk to us about pilot terms.
One framework, one team. Perfect for companies targeting their first certification.
Multi-framework crosswalk for companies pursuing two certifications simultaneously.
All frameworks, unlimited seats, custom integrations, and dedicated GRC support.
Design-partner pilot pricing available. We charge less than one day of consultant time.
No. The AI guides you through every step with plain-English questions. If you can describe how your company handles access to systems, you have enough knowledge to run an assessment.
The policies are generated from authoritative control statements, tailored to your org context, and produced as both a clean .docx and a "mapped" .docx with Word margin comments tying every section to the controls it satisfies. We always recommend an external auditor review before submission — and our auditor portal makes that explicit (see "For auditors" above).
Upload them. The AI extracts the content, maps it to your framework controls, and only asks questions about the gaps. When you generate the final set, your existing voice and structure are preserved with gap-fill language inserted.
ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HITRUST share large amounts of common ground. Rather than writing separate policies for each, we generate a single policy set where each statement is tagged to every control it satisfies across all your frameworks. One document, fully mapped.
Your data is isolated per organization via Postgres Row-Level Security, encrypted at rest and in transit, and never used to train shared AI models. We're honest about what's in place vs. what's on our security roadmap — see the Trust & Security section above for the full breakdown.
Yes — you can provide your own API key for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Azure OpenAI. Your prompts and your generated policies go directly to your chosen provider, not through a shared inference pool. Popular with security-conscious teams that already have AI procurement contracts in place.
From the Policies tab, generate a token-protected link valid for 7 to 180 days. Send it to your auditor — no account needed on their side. They identify themselves once on entry, browse your scorecard and policies (downloading either a clean or mapped .docx), and leave structured Affirm / Suggest / Dispute / Question feedback on any section. Their comments land in your dashboard inbox immediately.
