Third-Party GRC Platform: Unified Risk and Compliance
CISAPP brings governance, risk and compliance (GRC) together for your third-party ecosystem: regulatory frameworks, audits and risk register.
TL;DR
A third-party GRC platform connects the governance of regulatory frameworks, vendor risk management and internal audits in one system. The value lies in evidence reuse: a control satisfied for ISO 27001 also serves NIS2 or DORA, provided the frameworks share the same record.
What is a third-party GRC platform?
A third-party GRC platform brings the governance of regulatory frameworks, vendor risk management and audits into one system. The benefit is not three screens in one place, but a shared evidence base: a control demonstrated once serves every framework it maps to.
What the platform covers
| Strand | Question addressed | CISAPP component |
|---|---|---|
| Governance | Which controls apply to us? | Pre-wired NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, GDPR, AI Act frameworks |
| Risk | What remains exposed, and who accepts it? | Risk register shared across internal and third parties |
| Compliance | How do we demonstrate it? | Evidence attached to controls, Audit module |
| Third parties | Which vendor for which obligation? | Vendor record, dependency mapping |
One source of truth
Rather than running an internal GRC tool alongside a separate TPRM tool, CISAPP unifies the two: every control, every piece of evidence and every vendor is attached to the same regulatory framework, and audits build on that state instead of a bespoke collection round.

FAQ
It is a tool bringing together three usually separate functions: governance of regulatory frameworks (which controls apply), risk management (what remains exposed) and compliance (the evidence that proves it) — applied to the vendor ecosystem as much as to the organisation itself.
