A governance operating system

See the risk. Follow the evidence. Know what needs attention.

AltGRC is a governance operating system, designed from the ground up around a single source of truth. Risks, controls, incidents, resilience, assurance and obligations share connected records and evidence.

Follow a risk through its controls, testing and outstanding actions. Examine an incident alongside the services it affects. Give management the context behind a status—not another disconnected report.

Connected information for the people doing the work and those overseeing it.

Traceable records

Follow the whole picture behind a risk.

A risk rating means more when you can examine the controls behind it, the evidence of their effectiveness and the actions still outstanding.

AltGRC connects those records with related incidents, assurance work and business services. Teams can investigate the context behind an assessment without treating every register as a separate account of the organisation.

The purpose is practical: make it easier to challenge an assessment, understand a weakness and identify the next action.

Capabilities

Answer the questions behind your governance work.

Understand the position behind a risk.

Review risks alongside their controls, assessments, incidents and actions, so the discussion starts with the supporting context.

See where management attention is needed.

Bring governance information into an oversight view, with routes back to the records and evidence behind the position being reported.

Understand what your services depend on.

Connect important business services with their dependencies, impact tolerances and exercises to examine vulnerabilities and improvement priorities.

Examine whether controls are working.

Bring control records, testing, evidence and findings together, so an effectiveness assessment can be examined rather than accepted as a status alone.

Explain the basis for a decision.

Keep supporting evidence and rationale connected to governance records, helping reviewers understand the information behind an assessment or decision.

Keep outstanding work in view.

Follow issues and actions alongside the risks, incidents or findings they address, with ownership and progress visible in context.

Why AltGRC

Why AltGRC

One foundation across governance

AltGRC is designed around shared records and relationships. Risk, controls, incidents and assurance contribute to the same operating picture.

Assessments you can examine

Follow an assessment back to its supporting records and evidence, giving reviewers a basis for challenge and discussion.

Useful to owners and reviewers

Bring the work of risk teams, control owners and assurance functions into context for the people responsible for oversight.

Start with a practical problem

Use a demonstration to examine a workflow that matters to you—such as risk assessment or control testing—and see how it connects to the wider platform.

Representative journeys

See how one piece of work connects to the next.

AltGRC connects the work that happens before and after an individual record is created.

A risk can lead to controls, testing, evidence, incidents, decisions and actions. An operational disruption can reveal vulnerabilities, affect important services and drive accountable remediation.

Risk to assurance

Start with a risk. Examine its controls and testing evidence, then follow findings through to the actions raised.

Incident to improvement

Record an incident, investigate its impact and track the actions needed to address what went wrong.

Service to resilience

Examine a service’s dependencies and impact tolerances alongside exercise results and improvement actions.

Obligation to evidence

Trace a requirement to the responsible owner, relevant controls and evidence supporting your response.

Who it's for

Relevant to your role. Connected to the wider picture.

Control owners need to understand their responsibilities. Risk teams need to assess and challenge. Leaders need to see the position and the matters requiring attention.

AltGRC brings these perspectives together around connected governance information, so each conversation can draw on the same underlying records.

Executive leadership Risk and compliance Control owners Operational resilience Assurance and audit

Look behind the report.

A management report should be the start of a useful conversation. What supports this assessment? Which controls have been tested? What remains unresolved?

AltGRC brings reporting and oversight closer to the underlying governance work, helping teams explain the position and investigate the detail behind it.

About AltGRC

AltGRC is being developed by Tarian Ventures, drawing on practical experience across governance, technology delivery and complex organisations.

Its ground-up design connects the records, evidence and responsibilities behind governance work, from individual assessments to management oversight.

The platform is in development and available for demonstration. We welcome conversations with practitioners who want to examine the approach and help shape its continued development.

Tarian Ventures is a Welsh company exploring and developing new business ideas.
