# XGRC® MSX®

_Integrated Management System_

**One management system. Multiple standards. Less duplicated effort.**

MSX® merges your governance, risk, compliance, and operational systems into one common framework — eliminating conflicting responsibilities, removing duplicated effort, and giving leadership real-time visibility across all business activities.

## What it is

MSX® is an integrated programme option within XGRC® Software. It packages selected governance, risk, compliance and management system capabilities into one coordinated programme for organisations that want multiple disciplines implemented together.

## Overview

MSX® is the integration layer that unifies multiple ISO management system disciplines into one coordinated programme — with consistent document control, governance workflows, audit management, and performance evaluation across the organisation.

## When organisations use it

Organisations typically adopt MSX® once they are running two or more XGRC® solutions — such as SHEQX®, ERM or MSXCyber® — and want a single coordinated programme with shared document control, governance workflows and performance evaluation, instead of managing each discipline in isolation.

## What it is not

MSX® is not required to use XGRC® Software. Organisations can start with individual solutions such as SHEQX®, ERM, MSXCyber®, ENVIRX®, ESG or MAIA® and move to a broader integrated programme later.

## Challenges it addresses

- **Multiple systems, multiple truths** — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 managed in separate tools. The same data entered three times, never reconciled.
- **Improvement programmes disconnected from risk** — Continual improvement initiatives tracked in isolation — no link to the risks they are supposed to address.
- **Board reporting takes weeks** — Management performance data lives across departments, systems, and spreadsheets. Consolidation consumes more resource than the analysis.
- **Certification gaps only surface at audit time** — Without continuous monitoring across all ISO requirements, gaps accumulate silently between certification cycles.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need MSX® to use other XGRC® solutions?

No. Every XGRC® solution runs independently. MSX® is an optional integration layer for organisations coordinating multiple disciplines together.

### Which ISO standards does MSX® cover?

MSX® supports ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 22000 within one coordinated management system.

### What's the difference between MSX® and a single solution like SHEQX®?

SHEQX® manages one discipline (SHEQ) in full depth. MSX® coordinates governance, risk, compliance and operational disciplines together under one programme, sharing document control and reporting.

### Can we start with MSX® and add solutions later?

Yes. MSX® is designed for modular adoption — start with the disciplines you need now and expand without migrating data or rebuilding processes.
