From SME to Enterprise, a single platform to manage your cyber risks and compliance

Continuous compliance

Compliance shouldn't feel like a fire drill. SharpenCISO, an AI-native GRC platform, unifies compliance, risk, and third-party trust, with automated evidence, multi-framework mapping, and quantified risk, on sovereign French and European infrastructure.

Continuous compliance

Risk Management

Gives risk managers and CISOs a structured, quantified view of organizational risk, from building a living risk register tied to real business processes and assets, to running FAIR-based Monte Carlo simulations and Loss Exceedance Curves that translate cyber risk into euros the board can actually trust and act on. Every risk, control, and vendor rolls into one always-current dashboard, so you always know your true risk posture instead of relying on last quarter's static snapshot.

Global Risk Posture

Aggregates compliance, risk, and third-party exposure into a single organization-wide risk score and trend line, giving the board, a CRO, an insurer, or an M&A team one defensible answer to "how exposed are we, overall, right now?"

Third-Party Trust Management

Manages vendor and supply-chain risk end to end: categorizing and scoring vendors at onboarding, including AI Act–relevant categorization, keeping the DORA Register of Information current automatically, flagging overdue reassessments, and surfacing concentration risk across critical suppliers. Vendors can even publish one reusable trust profile instead of repeating questionnaires for every customer, giving compliance teams a single view of who needs attention before renewal.

Roles and Organization Management

Lets organizations of any structure, single entity or multi-subsidiary group, enforce least-privilege access, apply role templates, grant time-boxed auditor access, and roll up compliance and risk metrics from subsidiaries into one consolidated group view.

Integration & API

Connects SharpenCISO to the systems already in place (identity providers, SIEM/ITSM, Policy as Code pipelines) so evidence, provisioning, and risk data flow automatically, without manual double entry, while keeping everything on sovereign French/European infrastructure.

Cyber GRC experts, on demand

Software alone doesn’t close a skills gap. That’s why SharpenCISO pairs the platform with certified cybersecurity GRC experts who work alongside your team, not instead of it. Whether you need extra hands during an ISO 27001 push, specialized NIS2 or DORA expertise your team doesn’t have in-house yet, or ongoing support to keep your compliance program moving, our certified consultants plug directly into your existing workflow inside SharpenCISO. You get expert coverage on demand, without the cost or delay of a full-time hire; and every engagement leaves your own team stronger, not more dependent on outside help.

IT & API integration experts, on demand

Our IT & API integration experts connect your IT system (identity provider, ticketing system, cloud infrastructure…) directly into SharpenCISO; pulling evidence automatically instead of manual exports. The result: continuous compliance features that help you stay audit-ready, and real-time visibility built on your live environment, not last month’s snapshot. And where data residency or security requirements demand it, our team can deploy SharpenCISO on premise in your own cloud environment.

From vCISO to MSSP, a single platform to manage your Cyber GRC-as-a-Service offering

GRC as a service

vCISO firms, boutique consultancies, and MSSPs use SharpenCISO as the backbone for GRC-as-a-Service, running compliance, security-by-design, and third-party assessments for every client from one platform, letting consultants collaborate and scale their productivity.

GRC as a service

Compliance as a Service

Rather than rebuilding a compliance program from scratch for every client, GRC providers use SharpenCISO to deliver compliance as an ongoing managed service. They apply the same multi-framework mapping (ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, CRA) and automated evidence collection across every client account, so each engagement starts from a proven methodology instead of a blank spreadsheet. Clients get continuous, audit-ready compliance; the provider gets a repeatable, higher-margin service they can deliver to many organizations at once instead of one bespoke project at a time.

Collaborative GRC platform

GRC engagements often involve multiple consultants across clients or shared accounts. SharpenCISO lets providers assign consultants to specific clients or work, keep activity auditable, and collaborate on shared evidence in real time, so delivery quality stays consistent whether one consultant handles an account or five.

Security by Design as a Service

GRC providers also use the platform to embed security and compliance requirements into a client's projects from day one, rather than auditing them after the fact. Using SharpenCISO's security-by-design dashboards, consultants can review architecture decisions, flag gaps against relevant frameworks, and track remediation as a project evolves, turning a traditionally ad hoc consulting exercise into a structured, repeatable offering they can package and sell across their client base.

Multi-client Management

Because GRC providers serve many organizations at once, SharpenCISO's multi-tenant structure lets them manage every client's compliance status, risk register, and vendor exposure from a single account, switching between clients without duplicating logins, tools, or processes. This turns what would otherwise be dozens of fragmented client relationships into one consolidated operating view, making it far easier to track SLAs, prioritize urgent work, and scale the number of clients served without a proportional increase in overhead.

Third-Party Assessment as a Service

SharpenCISO lets GRC providers run structured, standardized third-party risk assessments for clients lacking internal resources; scoring vendors, tracking DORA obligations, and flagging overdue reassessments; as a distinct, sellable service line, not a repeated manual exercise.
