The GRC Challenge

Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) Should Provide Clarity, not Create Complexity

Many organisations have more compliance responsibilities than they can manage.

Spreadsheets and disconnected documents don't provide a clear view of risks and compliance activities.

Traditional enterprise GRC platforms are expensive and complex to implement and maintain.

Teams often don't know where to start with what can be an overwhelming task and a steep adoption curve.

The Integrated Approach to GRC

Risks

Establish a connected risk management framework across risks, controls, assets, suppliers and incidents.

Use risk dashboards to track your highest risks, changes in exposure, risks outside appetite and areas requiring management attention.

Compliance

Track compliance against recognised frameworks, such as Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and NIST.

Assess your current position, identify gaps and connect compliance requirements with controls and activities.

Policies

Create and manage cybersecurity policies and procedures using pre-built templates and guided content.

For broader organisational GRC, manage existing policies with clear ownership, review dates, approvals and version history.

Tasks

Track remediation work, reviews, recurring activities and other GRC responsibilities.

Assign owners, set due dates and maintain a structured calendar of activities for clarity and accountability.

How Apollo Works

The Proven Process

A clear and repeatable approach to building and maintaining your GRC program.

Plan

Understand your current position, gather existing information and choose the right compliance path for your organisation.

Report

Give executives, boards and stakeholders a clear view of risks, priorities and progress with dashboards and automated reporting.

Without a connected approach, organisations can spend significant time completing compliance tasks without gaining a clear understanding of their actual risk position.

Understand where your greatest risks and gaps are

Prioritise the work that will make the greatest difference

Connect risks, controls, assets, suppliers and incidents

Maintain clear ownership and accountability

Track recurring GRC activities and improvement work

Give decision-makers confidence that progress is being made
