The problem, solved

Your Whole GRC Programme, Always in View

Every framework lives in its own workbook. Controls are duplicated, evidence is scattered, and getting a reliable view of your risk and compliance posture becomes a task in itself. Arbor GRC connects every stage of the programme, with a traceable audit trail behind every change.

    Know where you stand.

    • Gap assessments
    • Risk scoring
    • Business impact analysis
  3. Act

    Close the gaps that matter.

    • Risk treatment
    • Corrective actions
    • Policies and evidence
  4. Monitor

    See trouble before it lands.

    • Key risk indicators
    • Reminders and escalation
    • Evidence expiry
  5. Prove

    • Regulator-ready reports
    • Audits and audit trail
Implement once

Do the Work Once. Get Credit in Every Framework.

Every control in Arbor is mapped across frameworks. Write your access control policy once and it counts toward ISO 27001, UAE IA, ISO 27017 and ISO 27701 at the same time. Need a framework we don't have yet? Build your own and add your own mappings.

Cross-framework mapping

One Control. Many Frameworks.

Every control in Arbor carries its references across the frameworks you follow. Test it once, attach the evidence once, and every framework that needs it gets the credit.

Arbor AI

Stop Typing. Arbor AI Fills in the Details.

Describe what you need in a sentence. Arbor AI completes the form for you: the risk description, causes and impacts, suggested controls and the frameworks they map to. Nobody has to memorise clause numbers or field values again.

  • Fills in risks, assessments, BIAs and supplier reviews from a short description.
  • Suggests controls and evidence you already hold.
  • You review and edit every suggestion before it is saved.

Shared by every module

One Core Behind Every Framework

Every module shares the same audits, asset register, evidence repository, policy repository and audit trail.

Audit Management

Compliance audits with findings, and scored assessment audits. Reports signed by the auditor and your GRC lead, then locked.

Asset Register

Assets with owners and CIA ratings. Criticality flows into risk scoring.

Evidence Repository

Upload once, link to any control, risk or finding. Versions kept, expiry warnings sent.

Policy Management

Review, approve and track who acknowledged which version and when.

Corrective Actions

Gaps and findings become actions with owners, due dates and escalation.

Dashboards and Reports

Role-based dashboards and regulator-ready reports in PDF and Excel.

Reminders and Escalation

Owners hear before the due date. Managers hear when it slips.

Excel Import and Export

Bring your existing registers in on day one. Export any list when you need it.

Fully configurable

Shaped Around Your Organisation, Not the Other Way Round

Every organisation runs GRC differently. Arbor adapts to your requirements, from the screens people see to the way work flows through approvals.

Your Fields and Forms

Add, rename or hide fields so every register matches the way you work.

Your Workflows

Decide who drafts, who reviews and who approves at every step.

Your Risk Matrices

Your own scales, scoring and risk appetite, applied across every register.

Your Structure

Sectors, departments and teams, named the way your organisation names them.

Your Frameworks

Build your own frameworks and map them to the ones already loaded.

Your Look

Dashboards, reports and branding laid out with your logo and your priorities.

Why Arbor

Spreadsheets Were Never Built for This

A spreadsheet is fine for a list. A GRC programme needs owners, deadlines, evidence, history and sign-off, across every department and every supplier.

Third-Party Risk Management

Your Supplier Spreadsheet, Replaced

TPRM comes with Enterprise Risk. Suppliers are tiered, assessed through a secure link, scored automatically and reviewed on schedule.

Explore TPRM
  1. Onboard and Tier

    Add the supplier, record the service and the data it touches, and Arbor suggests a risk tier.

  2. Assess Through a Secure Link

    The supplier answers a due diligence questionnaire through a one-time link. No login, no spreadsheets by email.

  3. Score and Treat

    Answers are scored automatically. High-risk suppliers raise an entry in the risk register with an owner.

  4. Review and Renew

    Reviews come round on a schedule set by tier, with reminders, contract dates and offboarding tracked.
