- 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.
