Press Release: Launching SureCloud Foundations for Growing Teams

Against a background of internal teams struggling to deal with an increasingly complex landscape of compliance, risk and audit control, SureCloud has launched an industry changing GRC solution allowing growing teams access to an intelligent, scalable platform already proven at the enterprise level.

For businesses of all sizes, getting a grasp of all the compliance, risk and audit challenges facing them is a difficult, sometimes seemingly impossible task. For growing companies this task is magnified by smaller teams and smaller budgets. It is therefore understandable why many are still turning to spreadsheets, fragmented tool or manual processes. Up until now these teams have been expected to demonstrate compliance and maturity without access to specialist resources and enterprise-grade systems that are available to larger businesses.

Indeed, in a recent survey undertaken by SureCloud, 86% [1]  of growing risk and compliance teams said that they used spreadsheets. This is not the route for success. Instead, it results in fragmented data and duplication.

Identifying this key issue impacting so many organisations, the team at SureCloud has developed an industry changing solution that can close the gap between enterprise-level technology and the budgets of scaling businesses, as Dan Spicer, Chief Marketing Officer at SureCloud explains.

“SureCloud Foundations is the most intelligent governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform on the market. We’ve built this for scaling teams with limited resources and a need to move fast. With built-in control testing, automated evidence collection and effortless remediation tracking, we are confident that Foundation is going to make a huge difference to organisations everywhere.

Whether you are working towards your first ISO/IEC 27001 certification or looking to reduce the risks that matter, our new solution will help you get there quicker and most importantly, keep you there. Prior to Foundation, this type of solution would only have been available to enterprise-level organisations, but now growing teams can get organised and achieve certification without the cost and complexity of legacy platforms and offering more GRC than compliance point solutions.”

For those early organisations who have already implemented SureCloud Foundations, 75% had less manual effort in control testing and reassessments, up to a 95% decrease in stakeholder chasing through automated workflows. Perhaps most tellingly they experienced an up to 88% reduction in time spent on compliance reporting.

Foundations delivers smart and structured processes out of the box including:

• Intelligent control mapping and continuous testing with a proprietary SureCloud Controls framework that eliminates control duplication and reduces assessment fatigue for smaller teams who need to maximise their time

• Effortless questionnaires and targeted use of AI to reveal insights on documents and assessments so you can inform improvement and achieve faster accreditation

• No-code configuration of workflows and fields lets you run compliance not just on best practices, but your practices, no developer input needed

• An intuitive interface to manage all assets, policies, controls, risks and evidence with the collaboration workflows necessary to keep scaling teams on track
