What does industry neutral mean in practice?
An industry-neutral GRC platform provides common capabilities that can be configured for different environments. Risks, controls, assessments, incidents, suppliers, actions and supporting documents remain connected, while the content and criteria reflect the organisation using them.
A financial services firm may begin with control assessments and breach records. An operational business may focus on incidents, contractors and recovery measures. An education organisation may prioritise accessible risk registers and governance reviews. Each can build from the same core approach without requiring the same starting point.
Configure the framework around your organisation
Use language your teams recognise
Configure relevant labels and fields so that records make sense to their owners, reviewers and management audiences.
Assess the activities and requirements that matter
Use configurable questions and checklists to support your own policies, operating processes and assurance priorities.
Connect information across functions
Relate risks, controls, incidents, third parties and evidence so that an issue can be followed beyond the team that first identified it.
Start with a practical scope
Introduce the capabilities relevant to the first priority and extend the framework as needs develop.

Your industry does not need to be on the list
Organisations in technology, professional services, engineering, the public sector and other fields can face the same challenges of fragmented records, repeated assessments and unclear ownership.
The relevant question is how your organisation manages its risks, controls, incidents, third parties and evidence. Talk to us about your operating model and we can explore whether iGRCs provides an appropriate fit.
How do regulations and standards fit?
Your organisation determines which obligations and standards are relevant to its activities and jurisdictions. iGRCs helps organise assessments, controls, records and evidence around those requirements; the software does not itself confer compliance, certification or regulatory approval.
Frequently asked questions
Can we use iGRCs if our industry is not featured?
Yes. The featured industries illustrate possible applications. We welcome discussions with organisations in other sectors about their processes and requirements.
Does industry neutral mean every organisation uses the same template?
No. The shared platform capabilities can be configured with terminology, fields and assessment questions relevant to the organisation.
Must we use one sector framework across the whole organisation?
Different activities can require different assessment criteria and supporting information. Discuss the structure and reporting needs of your organisation during evaluation.
Can the platform replace all specialist industry systems?
That depends on the work involved. iGRCs provides a GRC management framework; specific transactional, engineering, clinical or other specialist requirements should be assessed separately, including any required information exchange.
