Governance, Risk & Compliance

Cut Through the Complexity of Compliance

GRC Team

Manage Frameworks, Risk, and Reporting in One Place

Navigating cybersecurity and compliance obligations is complex, fragmented, and constantly evolving. Yet, many organizations still rely on manual processes, leading to inefficiencies, inconsistent results, and rising operational costs.

CampusGuard’s cybersecurity and compliance management platform, powered by Apptega, simplifies Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) by centralizing the oversight of frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. Our solution empowers organizations to track, assess, and strengthen their compliance posture with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence.

Make Compliance Measurable, Manageable, and Repeatable

Our continuous compliance platform streamlines the processes associated with regulatory compliance and security posture management, from gap assessments and remediation to ongoing internal and external risk management and audit readiness.

When compared to manual processes like spreadsheet management, our platform typically reduces the time and cost associated with compliance activities by about 40%, which is why it is trusted by more than 15,000 compliance programs globally.

The platform empowers you with:

GRC dashboard and reports

  • Assessments

    Simply evaluate your risk control-by-control against 30+ regulatory and security best practices frameworks with questionnaire-based assessments.

  • Program Management

    Quickly create remediation plans and steps to fill gaps and mature your security and compliance posture over time. Automated tasking helps prioritize activities that most move the needle.

  • Risk Management

    Build risk registries from pre-populated, framework-specific risk libraries. Heat maps of inherent and latent risks show where your highest priority remediation actions lie.

  • Third-Party Risk Management

    Assess your vendors’ security posture and alignment with internal requirements with automated questionnaires. Then analyze your third-party risk to determine the next best actions.

  • Audit Manager

    Prep for upcoming audits with tasks mapped to critical deadlines. Centralize all your evidence in one secure location. And collaborate with auditors and respond to their requests directly within the app.

  • Dashboards & Reporting

    Get real-time, detailed views of your security and compliance posture with persona-specific reports for internal stakeholders, executives and third parties. Dashboards give you snapshots of your progress toward compliance goals and can be broken out by department.

Assess Your Security & Compliance Posture with Ease

Assessments Dashboard

Risk and compliance assessments shouldn’t live in spreadsheets. With our GRC tool, skip the manual busywork and spin up pre-built assessments for 30+ industry and regulatory frameworks, or build custom ones tied to your own internal controls.

Guided questionnaires keep you moving quickly through controls, clearly surfacing where you meet requirements and where gaps exist.

Then, connect directly to evidence repositories like AWS Security Hub and Microsoft Defender to automatically pull in data and map it to the controls it satisfies.

Build & Manage Scalable Security Programs At Every Stage

When your assessment is complete, score it and convert it into a fully managed remediation program in one click.

From there, build a prioritized plan, set recurring control-level tasks, assign action items to team members, and track everything from a single dashboard.

Calendar and task views keep your team on schedule and on track.
