Compliance posture you can explain, line by line.
Compliance status in RiskVantis is calculated, never typed in. Every requirement, in every organisation, shows its status, why it has that status and what would change it, across the whole organisation hierarchy.
Illustration with sample data
What Enterprise Compliance Posture does
Organisations form a hierarchy, so a grant for a parent covers its subsidiaries. A requirement's status in an organisation is the worst status of the control implementations that satisfy it, directly or through the Secure Controls Framework crosswalk. Click any requirement to see why. A requirement with no control is shown as a gap, never as Not Applicable, and a report never claims compliance while anything applicable is unassessed, stale or failing. Historical posture can be shown as of any date, and exports are audited.
Applicability is governed. An applicability profile, which records your industries, geographies, data types, payments, cloud and AI use, suggests which frameworks and requirements apply, always with reasons, and an Admin or CISO decides. Not Applicable needs a rationale and CISO approval. Compliance scopes narrow an organisation to specific assets, vendors, processes and services. Regulatory and framework changes become change events with a computed impact, which a person confirms or dismisses, and a regulatory interpretation needs a CISO.
Key capabilities
Calculated status
Compliant, Partially Compliant, Non-Compliant, Not Assessed, Evidence Stale, Monitoring Failed and more, never set by hand.
Explained requirements
Click any requirement to see the controls, tests and evidence behind its status.
Organisation hierarchy
Posture per business unit, region or subsidiary, with a heatmap across up to 8 frameworks.
Applicability engine
Profile-driven suggestions with reasons; people accept or dismiss them.
Regulatory change review
Framework, regulatory, asset and policy changes with computed impact and governed decisions.
Compliance calendar
Every test, evidence, exception, obligation and review date in one place.
The business case.
Efficiency, multi-framework alignment, reduced complexity and streamlined processes: what Enterprise Compliance Posture changes for your programme.
Less compliance reporting effort
Posture, coverage and explanations are calculated live instead of assembled per audit.
Unmapped = gap
Requirements without controls are always shown as gaps.
One control set
Implementations count for every framework through the SCF crosswalk.
Decisions on record
Applicability and change decisions are versioned, with who decided and why.
Efficiency figures compare the effort of each workflow cycle in RiskVantis with the same work done manually or in a traditional GRC tool. Your result depends on your starting point; we will model it with you in a demo.
From setup to outcome.
Model the organisation
Set up the hierarchy and compliance scopes.
Decide applicability
Review profile-driven suggestions.
Implement and test
Controls, tests and evidence feed the status engine.
Monitor change
Review regulatory changes and watch the calendar.
Supports your obligations.
Enterprise Compliance Posture contributes evidence and coverage to these frameworks and regulations.
Common questions.
Can someone mark a control compliant by hand?
No. Status is derived from test results and their age, evidence requirements, approved exceptions and applicability, and it is explained.
How is Not Applicable decided?
It needs a rationale and approval by a CISO of that organisation who didn't propose it. A requirement with no decision is Unknown, never assumed Not Applicable.
Do regulatory changes alter our controls automatically?
No. A change event computes its impact and a person confirms or dismisses it. Confirming can create review tasks and re-evaluation.
