Summary
SimpleRisk is a governance, risk, and compliance platform for managing risk and demonstrating compliance. Its Core includes governance, risk management, compliance, asset management, self-assessments, dashboards, and custom reports. The Secure Controls Framework Extra maps more than 250 frameworks across more than 1,000 common controls, with testing that can apply to multiple frameworks. SimpleRisk describes its FAIR-based risk quantification as a way to create financial risk estimates for board reporting. Paid extras include a Jira integration that syncs risk, mitigation, and review data in both directions, and a REST API for managing risk information programmatically. The free Core plan supports unlimited users, self-hosting, and email support. A 30-day hosted trial unlocks every Extra, includes unlimited users, and does not require a credit card. Starter and Custom packages are listed from $5,000.00 USD per year. SimpleRisk supports API, Linux, self-hosted, and web deployments; scripted installation support is listed for specific Linux distributions and versions.
