Governance you can show, not just claim.
Graello connects every governance object — service, control, risk, evidence — in a traceable chain. When an auditor asks, you navigate to the answer. You do not search for it.

Five commitments
Built around what auditors and regulators actually verify.
Every Graello feature exists to satisfy one of five architectural guarantees. Not one of them is aspirational.
01
Governance 360
Navigate from any governance object through the full connected chain — service, control, risk, evidence, decision, owner. Every score is labelled with the calculation that produced it. Every piece of evidence is reachable from the screen you are on.
02
Absolute tenant isolation
No tenant sees another tenant's data — enforced in code, CI-tested on every merge. Attempt cross-tenant access with a valid session and watch it fail structurally. Not claimed in a policy document. Verifiable in the codebase.
03
Operator blindness by design
Graello staff cannot access your governance data outside a formal, consent-based, time-limited session. The architecture is built around this separation. Every access path is tracked in a dedicated investigation programme.
04
Demonstrable trust
Every risk score comes with the formula that produced it. Every piece of evidence shows its source, collection method, and integrity hash. The audit log carries a tamper-evident seal chain. Nothing is displayed without a traceable source — and the platform says so when the source has not been confirmed.
05
Graello governs itself
Graello's own controls, risks, and framework mappings are managed inside Graello — to the same standard we ask of clients. The Graello governance tenant is the reference implementation of everything we ship. If we cannot meet our own standard, we have not earned yours.

Request early accessFor who
Built for the person accountable when the auditor arrives.
Graello is for SMEs where one person carries the governance weight — and needs a system that works as hard as they do.
The COO facing a first audit
ISO 27001 or SOC 2 in six months. Governance currently lives in a spreadsheet nobody fully trusts. The auditor will ask for evidence trails you do not have.
Graello gives you a connected governance structure you can navigate in front of an auditor — not a document you assembled the night before.
The CTO selling into regulated clients
Enterprise prospects are asking for your security posture before they sign. You know your controls are solid. You cannot show them in a way that satisfies a procurement review.
Graello turns your existing controls into a verifiable, inspectable chain — one you can share with a prospect's security reviewer without a lengthy briefing.
The Head of Risk inheriting a mess
Three tools, two spreadsheets, no single picture. The board wants a risk posture update. You cannot produce one that you would stake your name on.
Graello consolidates your governance objects into one traceable structure. The board view is a byproduct of real governance — not a separate exercise.
Recognise yourself in one of these?
Request early accessTraditional GRC tools
- x
Risk scores from a 5x5 heatmap. Likelihood and impact are ordinal labels multiplied together. The result is mathematically invalid — a finding in peer-reviewed research, not just opinion. The dashboard looks authoritative. The number is not.
- x
Evidence is a screenshot. A PNG attached to a test step proves presence, not correctness. It records no source system, no time window, no extraction query. It cannot be reproduced. Auditors know this. Regulators are catching up.
- x
Framework crosswalks are title-level guesswork. "Map once, comply many" maps control titles, not assertions. NIST AC-2 is not ISO A.5.16. Partial overlap becomes full satisfaction on the dashboard your board trusts.
- x
Risk acceptance leaves no authority record. A status flag and a free-text comment. Nobody knows who had the mandate to accept, at what threshold, or for how long. Expired acceptances stay green.
Graello
- v
Risk scores with the formula on screen. Graello uses a real quantification engine and shows you the calculation steps. Ask any score why and you see the actual formula, the factors, and the control effectiveness that produced it.
- v
Evidence with source, period, and integrity hash. Every piece of evidence carries the system it came from, the time window it covers, and a SHA-256 hash. The audit log is sealed with a tamper-evident chain. The seal is on screen, not in a whitepaper.
- v
Framework mappings with strength and scope. Each mapping records whether a control fully, partially, or conditionally satisfies a requirement, and for which entities. No silent partial-satisfaction treated as full coverage.
- v
Decisions with a resolved authority record. Every acceptance, exception, or approval goes through a fail-closed authority gate. The resolved mandate and the decision are recorded immutably. The trail is on the risk screen — not in an email thread.
Early access
We are opening Graello to a small first cohort.
We are working with a handful of SMEs who have an auditor conversation within the next six months. You get the platform, direct access to the team, and a voice in the product. We get a real governance environment to prove the system in.
Not a waitlist. Not a newsletter. A working session to determine if there is a fit — on your terms.
