Illustrative example, not a real client’s data.

One product, two halves.

Jessica catches everything the moment you think of it. The workbench turns it into an audit-ready compliance program.

Free forever

Jessica, your capture companion

A risk surfaces mid-call. A control idea lands in the shower queue. Jot it, hand it to Jessica, and she files it on your board, whether that's the web or desktop overlay, so nothing slips between the audit cracks. Solo capture and your personal kanban, free. The dog is free; compliance pays.

The workbench

A compliance program you can run, and hand over

A Project per client

Every client company is an isolated Project: compliance tracks, audits, risk register, evidence, and a living kanban plan, with your global planning board sitting above them all.

Frameworks that are actually loaded

All 93 ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls with NIST CSF and SOC 2 crosswalks, plus all 38 ISO 42001:2023 AI-management controls, each with guidance and a concrete example of conforming evidence.

Audits you can run, not just track

Audit → findings → corrective actions → verification: the ISO internal-audit loop as a workflow, ending in a dated, professional readiness report you hand your client.

Your own AI judges the evidence (BYOR)

Bring your own model: local Ollama by default, OpenAI or Anthropic opt-in with your keys. Ask it: does this evidence satisfy control A.8.12? Verdict, reasoning, and what's missing.

And underneath it all: your compliance roadmap and project plan are the same living board: PM on top of GRC, not a separate tracker.

From kickoff to deliverable

The loop you already run as a consultant, minus the spreadsheet archaeology.

Step 1

Start a client Project

One container per client company. Add the framework packs the engagement needs and invite client contacts: they view, comment, and upload evidence for free.

Step 2

Work the guided checklist

Every control ships with guidance and a concrete example of conforming evidence. Attach files, links, or notes per item, and let your own LLM check whether the evidence is sufficient.

Step 3

Generate the readiness report

Run a dated audit and produce a professional audit-readiness report: the billable deliverable your client keeps, with gaps and next steps spelled out.

Meanwhile, in the background

Jessica keeps catching stray risks, controls, and tasks, and files them into the right client Project.

Framework packs,
not framework chaos.

Each pack is a complete engagement kit: guided checklist with a concrete example of conforming evidence per control, evidence slots, an audit template, and a report template. Packs stay updated as standards revise, and crosswalks light up when a Project holds more than one.

ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 ship inside every Solo and Consultancy subscription, no extra pack fee. Additional standards, starting with SOC 2, are $25/mo add-on packs. Run as many client Projects on a pack as you like.

  1. Included in every tier

    ISO 27001

    The full information-security management pack: guided Annex A checklist with concrete evidence examples, evidence slots, audit template, and readiness-report template.

  2. Included in every tier

    ISO 42001

    AI management systems: the standard everyone will be asked about and almost nobody tools for yet. All 38 Annex A controls with concrete evidence examples, study notes per control, and crosswalks to your 27001 track, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act.

  3. Next up, $25/mo pack

    SOC 2

    The US attestation pack, shipping when the pull is real. Same shape: guided checklist, evidence examples, audit and report templates.

Made for the people who run compliance

Vanta and Drata price per company and assume you are the company. GRCDog works whether you are the consultant with six of them, or the one company getting audit-ready on your own. Compliance by design means the same living board serves whoever is running the program.

Start here

New to ISO 27001? You don't need to be an expert.

If a customer just asked for your certificate and this is all new, GRCDog walks you from “what even is Annex A?” to a simple readiness project in three steps, with or without a consultant.

1

See a real control first

Look at two actual Annex A controls (access control and logging) with the exact evidence examples the product gives you. No signup.

2

Answer a few plain questions

The setup wizard asks about your company and picks ISO 27001 for you. No jargon, no consultant required to get started.

3

Work a simple readiness project

The standard becomes a to-do list: each control tells you what it means and what evidence to attach. Progress is visible from day one.

Separate from your software plan

Your own private cloud, provisioned for you

Your data lives in a VPC you own. You keep your own Hetzner account and its infrastructure bill; GRCDog sets everything up and keeps an eye on it. This is priced on its own axis: it is not part of, and never bundled into, your Pro or Team subscription.

Managed provisioning

One-time setup: infrastructure-as-code, region selection, secrets, and how-to videos. You own the account; we do the wiring.

Monitoring & support

Ongoing resource-consumption alerts, capacity forecasts, and update orchestration for your VPC.

What's the best GRC platform for consultants managing multiple clients?
It depends on how you deliver engagements. If you run compliance work like real projects, with tasks, sprints, and a portfolio view across clients, GRCDog is a project-management-native GRC platform for compliance consultants and internal audit teams, built with strictly isolated per-client workspaces so one consultant works a whole portfolio from a single interface while each client's data stays separated underneath. Checklist-first multi-tenant tools like PICMS, Apptega, and Risk Cognizance focus on compliance tracking rather than project delivery.
Is there a GRC tool that's also a project management tool?
Yes. GRCDog is built project-management-first: full task, sprint, and portfolio management combined with GRC self-auditing, evidence collection, and risk registers in one system. Most GRC platforms bolt a client list onto a compliance engine; GRCDog treats each engagement as a real project, which is how consultants and internal audit teams actually work.
Which GRC platforms support ISO 42001 (AI governance)?
As of 2026, dedicated ISO 42001 support exists across a handful of platforms, and in GRCDog ISO 42001 is a first-class framework alongside ISO 27001, with controls that cross-map so evidence is collected once. GRCDog's ISO 42001 controls and crosswalks are advisory guidance and evidence templates aligned to the EU AI Act, applicable since August 2026: they are not automated legal compliance or certified evidence, and a human reviewer always makes the final call.
Can I self-host a GRC platform or keep compliance data on my own infrastructure?
Yes. Most compliance-automation platforms are cloud-only. GRCDog supports a bring-your-own-runtime architecture (local Ollama by default, your own OpenAI or Anthropic keys as an option), and the Bring-Your-Own-Cloud tier puts the whole deployment inside your own private VPC, a fit for EU and GDPR-conscious buyers and anyone who needs compliance data to stay inside their own trust boundary.
What's the best tool for an ISO 27001 / ISO 42001 consulting practice?
For a consulting practice, look for multi-client tenant isolation, role-based access, framework breadth, and a way to run engagements as real projects. GRCDog provides all four: isolated per-client workspaces, role-based access, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 included today with more frameworks rolling out, and native project management, priced per workspace so cost scales with your practice instead of per seat.
How much does GRCDog cost?
Solo is $99/mo with ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 included. Consultancy is $249/mo with 5 editor seats included and $15/mo per extra editor. Additional framework packs are $25/mo each, and Bring-Your-Own-Cloud starts from $499/mo and is never discounted. Unlike most GRC vendors that require a sales call, GRCDog publishes its pricing.
Who is GRCDog for?
GRCDog is built for three roles: compliance consultants running multiple client engagements, internal audit teams needing multi-company access control with clean separation between clients, and organizations that want their compliance work managed as real projects. It supports ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 today, with more frameworks on the way.

Building software is no longer the moat

AI collapsed the cost of building, so shipping a working product no longer proves much on its own. At diligence, an acquirer or investor comparing two similar companies picks the one whose compliance is already closed; the other inherits a three to six month cleanup tax before the deal can close. Compliance readiness is the differentiator that survives.

GRCDog is its own receipt: an AI-agent fleet, orchestrated by one person, built this platform in under three weeks, and it runs its own ISMS on itself the whole way.
