The Risk Reckoning & SureCloud Foundations Launch Webinar

SureCloud officially launches The Risk Reckoning: our GRC maturity study, and SureCloud Foundations, our new GRC solution built specifically for growing risk and compliance teams who are stuck in spreadsheets and under mounting regulatory pressure.

Hosted by CEO and co-founder Nick Rafferty, Chief Product Officer Matthew Davies, and members of the SureCloud marketing and product teams, the session explores how the GRC landscape has shifted for organisations of all sizes. Regulatory mandates such as DORA, CSRD and NIS2 are expanding in scope, frameworks like ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are becoming the baseline, and customers expect ever greater transparency and trust. Yet despite this, most GRC teams are still piecing things together with manual processes, scattered documents and legacy tools that were never designed for lean teams.

Drawing on fresh data from The Risk Reckoning study, the webinar reveals the reality behind the headlines: overstretched teams managing rising workloads with flat or shrinking headcounts; high confidence in GRC expertise, but heavy reliance on manual methods; and a persistent “spreadsheet limbo” where organisations know they need to modernise but are unsure where to start. The session unpacks why cost, complexity and market confusion have been such powerful barriers to adopting modern GRC platforms – especially for SMBs and mid-market organisations.

Against this backdrop, the team introduces SureCloud Foundations: a connected, modular GRC platform created for lean GRC teams who need to move quickly, demonstrate compliance and grow with confidence. Foundations combines ready-to-use, pre-mapped content, automation from day one, continuous control monitoring, AI-assisted evidence review and a clean, intuitive interface that anyone in the business can use. Complete a control once and map it across multiple frameworks, upload evidence and instantly surface gaps, use live dashboards and drillable reports to understand your position in seconds, and scale into areas like vendor risk, policy management or incident management as your programme matures.

The webinar closes with a live Q&A, where the panel tackles practical questions on topics such as the real impact of AI on day-to-day compliance work, how to align leadership expectations with what is happening on the ground, and why clinging to spreadsheets may actually introduce more risk than it removes. Whether you are chasing your first certification or looking to move beyond reactive firefighting, this session offers a clear, pragmatic view of what modern GRC looks like for growing teams – and how SureCloud Foundations can help you go from reactive to strategic, and from surviving audits to building a confident, scalable risk and compliance function.
