Enterprise risk management embedded in governance — not tracked in spreadsheets.
XGRC® provides a central ERM platform aligned to ISO 31000, COSO, and King V. Define your risk framework, identify and assess risks across all categories, link every risk to controls and audit findings, and report to the board with real-time visibility.
Fragmented risk management creates blind spots across the organisation.
When risk registers live in spreadsheets and scoring is inconsistent across teams, leadership cannot see the true risk exposure of the organisation.

Explore Enterprise Risk Management → Use Case Risk Management
XGRC® is risk management software that lets organisations identify, assess and manage risks in a structured, consistent way. It connects risks to controls, actions and assurance activities on a single platform, giving clear visibility of risk exposure across the organisation.

Use Case Integrated Assurance
XGRC® coordinates internal audit and combined assurance across your organisation, linking every finding to the risk it relates to and the controls meant to manage it. Every line of defence works from the same assurance map.
View use case → ISO Readiness ISO 31000 Risk Management
ISO 31000 is a guideline for managing risk, not a certifiable management system — there is no audit to pass. XGRC® helps organisations adopt and embed the ISO 31000 risk management process, from establishing context through risk assessment, treatment, and ongoing monitoring and review.
View use case → Use Case Risk Register Template
Most organisations start their risk register in a spreadsheet. It works until a second risk owner edits it, a rating changes with no record of why, or the board asks for a rollup that takes three days to compile. This checklist sets out the fields and structure a risk register actually needs — the same structure XGRC® ERM runs live, with an audit trail built in.
View use case → Use CaseAI Governance Readiness
Two laws now sit behind AI governance: ISO/IEC 42001 certifies your organisation's AI management system, and the EU AI Act regulates each AI system individually. This checklist covers what both actually require, so a readiness gap is something you find on your own terms, not an auditor's.

01What is enterprise risk management (ERM) software?
ERM software gives leadership a single, board-ready view of risk exposure across the whole organisation, aligned to a defined framework such as ISO 31000, COSO or King V, rather than risk being managed inconsistently by department.
02How does XGRC® support King V governance requirements?
XGRC® aligns risk identification, assessment and reporting to King V governance principles, giving the board visibility of risk appetite, exposure and treatment status in the format governance committees expect.
03What is the difference between this and the Risk Management use case?
Risk Management covers day-to-day operational risk identification and control at team level. Enterprise Risk Management adds the governance layer on top — a defined risk framework, board reporting and escalation across strategic, operational, financial and compliance categories.
04Can XGRC® link risks to audit findings automatically?
Yes. Every risk can be linked to its controls and to related audit findings, so a control weakness identified in audit automatically informs the residual risk score for the risk it relates to.
