Ownership & backing

Built by an accountable group, not a startup on its own.

XGRC® Software is developed and owned by Strategix Application Solutions (Pty) Ltd, part of the Strategix group. Strategix Business Solutions was founded in 2004; XGRC® followed in 2015, founded by Jacob O'Brien and Stefan Venter, together with Deneys Minne as an executive from Strategix. That backing means dedicated engineering, security and support capacity behind the platform, not a side project.
