Platform Overview

The portal is organized around the work a GRC team performs every day: setup, assignments, module operations, evidence, approvals, reporting, and auditability.

Operating Model​

The portal separates responsibilities into four practical layers:

  • Tenant administration: users, roles, permissions, departments, job positions, workflows, templates, settings, enterprise identity and access, and enabled modules.
  • Module operations: risk records, assessments, audits, policies, incidents, vendors, assets, privacy records, training, surveys, issues, and regulatory changes.
  • Personal work queue: tasks, approvals, acknowledgements, signatures, surveys, training, and other assigned work.
  • Oversight and evidence: dashboards, reports, audit trail, comments, files, workflow history, and activity timelines.

Customer administrators usually begin in the setup layer, then help module owners operate the relevant GRC domains.

Core Navigation Areas​

The main navigation is grouped by operating purpose:

  • Dashboard: role-based summary of compliance, risk, issues, tasks, trends, and deadlines.
  • My Work: assigned actions, approvals, acknowledgements, surveys, training, and signatures.
  • Compliance: frameworks, controls, assessments, statement of applicability, and evidence. See Compliance and Assessments.
  • Risk Management: risk register, per-category risk appetite, the risk scale criteria editor, templates, vulnerabilities, treatment, and acceptance. See Risk Management.
  • Governance: policies, governance documents, digital signatures, exceptions, and change requests. See Governance.
  • Asset Management: assets and asset groups used for ownership and traceability. See Third Parties and Assets.
  • Audit: audit programs, audits, findings, and remediation follow-up. See Audit Management.
  • Operations: issues, actions, incidents, calendar, and regulatory changes. See Operations.
  • Third Parties: vendor and external-party oversight. See Third Parties and Assets.
  • Privacy: processing activities, DSAR, PIA, consent, transfers, and data flow. See Privacy and Awareness.
  • Awareness: training, role requirements, surveys, and user enablement. See Privacy and Awareness.
  • Reports and Analytics: operational, management, and scheduled reports. See Reports and Analytics.
  • Enterprise Identity and Access: single sign-on (SAML, OIDC, Azure AD, Okta, Google), SCIM provisioning, LDAP directory sync, service accounts, segregation-of-duties enforcement, and access reviews. See Enterprise Identity and Access.
  • Setup: administration foundation for the tenant, including configurable session idle-timeout and the background jobs operations dashboard. See Tenant Setup Order.

Shared Services​

Many modules use the same shared services:

  • workflows and approvals
  • comments and activity timelines
  • file attachments and evidence
  • notifications and personal tasks
  • roles and permissions
  • saved filters and exports
  • comprehensive audit logging across modules

When a module guide mentions comments, files, workflow, or history, it refers to these shared services. The behavior is intentionally consistent across modules.
