Pirani

Overview

Pirani is cloud software for identifying, monitoring, and mitigating organizational risk. It is a sensible option for organizations bringing operational and information-security risks into a shared system, provided its record and storage allowances fit their workload.

Its scope also includes compliance, anti-money laundering, and audit. A free plan gives small teams a way to begin, while defined caps make capacity an important part of choosing a plan.

Key features

Operational risk tools include dashboards, heat maps, indicators, reports, and event reporting. Together with quantitative analysis, custom risk fields, and workflow automation, they can support structured tracking and escalation; board-ready reporting helps carry findings to decision-makers. This breadth is useful to teams managing more than a basic risk register, though the free plan offers only one heat map report.

For information security, Pirani supports risk identification, assessment, mitigation, incident logging, and information-asset management. It says the software supports ISO 27001, ISO 27002, NIST, and COBIT, making it relevant to organizations aligning security work with those standards.

Pirani says customer data is stored in AWS RDS and S3 with encryption at rest and automatic backups. Its privacy processes are based on ISO 27001, and users can access only their own account data. The site displays SOC 2 Type II, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 27001:2022 badges. The Help Center accepts support requests, suggestions, and error or incident reports; Pirani Club offers on-demand risk courses and software workshops.

Pricing

Pirani uses a freemium model: Free is free, and paid service starts at $276/mo (annual). A free trial is also available. The named plan allowances clarify capacity, but no plan-specific prices are given for Starter, Basic, or Enterprise; treat those as custom pricing rather than assume the published starting rate applies to each.

Records count documented macro-processes, processes, sub-processes, risks, controls, and action plans, so the 200-record free cap can be reached by more than risks alone. Free suits a small pilot with five or fewer users and modest reporting needs. Starter removes the seat ceiling but retains the single heat map report and 2.5 GB storage; Basic raises capacity and reports, while Enterprise is the largest listed allowance, with 4,000 records and 50 GB. Teams should weigh those quotas against their operating scale before choosing.

Platforms

Pirani is cloud-deployed and supports web, Android, iOS, and API access. Enterprise lists Active Directory SAML 2.0 and event creation through API integrations, useful to organizations seeking those specific connections.

Who it's for

Pirani presents itself for small businesses, medium-sized businesses, and large corporations across multiple industries. Its cross-discipline coverage suits organizations consolidating operational, information-security, compliance, anti-money-laundering, and audit work. Small teams can start on Free; organizations with many documented processes or heavier reporting needs should compare the paid plan quotas and pricing before committing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Coverage across several risk disciplines can reduce the need to separate operational and information-security work into different systems.
• Pro: Quantitative analysis, custom fields, automation, and board-ready reporting support structured work and decision-making.
• Pro: The free tier gives five seats and 200 records without a subscription cost, making a constrained pilot possible.
• Con: Free is limited to one heat map report and 2.5 GB storage, which may constrain teams needing wider reporting or more retained material.
• Con: Starter still allows only one heat map report and 2.5 GB storage, despite unlimited seats.
• Con: Plan-specific pricing for Starter, Basic, and Enterprise is custom, so comparing the larger quotas requires a pricing conversation.

Verdict

Pirani is a strong candidate for organizations that want operational and information-security risks, alongside compliance, anti-money laundering, and audit, in a cloud system with structured reporting and automation. Its free plan provides a low-cost entry point, but the 200-record cap, five-seat limit, single heat map report, and 2.5 GB storage make it a starting tier rather than a broad team solution. Look elsewhere if self-hosting is essential, or compare custom-priced plans carefully if your organization needs materially more capacity.
