Your GRC records what people declare. Ours verifies it.
Kavuka GRC brings governance, risk and compliance into a single corporate system — policies, risks, controls, audits and evidence connected — with data-dependent controls continuously tested by the platform engines, not by self-assessment.
- One system
- risks, obligations and controls connected
- Continuous
- testing against real data
- Documented
- evidence born in operation
- Real time
- executive board dashboard
System in operation connecting risks, obligations and controls for regulated companies, public firms and groups — with data-dependent controls tested continuously and a full evidence trail.
Your control dashboard is all green. How many of those controls were tested — and how many were merely declared?
The graveyard of forms
GRC exists for the audit, not for the decision: parallel spreadsheets, self-assessments no one checks and a board risk view that is outdated the moment it is born.
The green control that was never tested
The regulatory obligation lost in the mosaic becomes a direct fine; the control marked "ok" by declaration fails in the very incident it was meant to prevent.
The week of evidence hunting
Before every audit, the team stops everything to hunt scattered evidence — and IPO/M&A diligence stalls on governance that cannot be demonstrated.
Cost The cost of inaction is threefold: the regulatory obligation lost in the normative mosaic (a direct fine), the untested control that fails in the incident, and the IPO or M&A diligence stalled by undemonstrable governance. The recorded risk and the real risk live in different worlds — until an incident introduces them.
From the connected model to the board dashboard, in one system.
- 01
Structure
Policies, risks, obligations and controls connected in a single model — the documented governance framework, with authority levels, committees and a responsibility matrix.
- 02
Verify
Data-dependent controls — clean third parties, sanctioned-free counterparties, valid records — are continuously tested by the Kavuka engines against the real base, not by quarterly self-assessment.
- 03
Remediate
Findings turn into action plans with an owner, a deadline and a documented improvement cycle; every decision with rationale, source and date.
- 04
Govern
The board dashboard shows risks, compliance and pending items on one page, in real time — and the audit becomes a lookup, because the evidence was born documented.
The system that orchestrates governance, risk and compliance
Instead of a system of record fed by declarations, a system of verification that connects the governance framework to the engines that test controls against real data.

Who governs with Kavuka GRC
Regulated companies
Financial, healthcare, energy and telecom: the mosaic of sector obligations under control, with owners, deadlines and evidence.
Public and pre-IPO firms
The demonstrable governance that capital markets and investors require in diligence — policies, authority levels, risks and trail.
Groups and holdings
The risk portfolio consolidated across subsidiaries, with an aggregated exposure view for group governance.
Demanding contracts
Multinationals and government: contractual compliance managed with the same rigor as regulatory, with tested controls.
The protection governance requires — and the audit examines
Kavuka GRC was designed for the integrated view that the board, investors and regulators expect, and handled for data-protection law from the very first record. Compliance is not a report at the end — it is how the system operates.
- Full audit trail: every risk, control and decision with rationale, source and date.
- Segregation of duties and configurable authority levels, with committees and versioned minutes.
- Evidence born documented in operation — the audit becomes a lookup, not a hunt.
- Data-protection-compliant processing, with public or legally permitted sources and adequate legal bases.
- Encryption in transit and at rest; Data Processing Agreement available for enterprise clients.
We found that half of our "green" controls had never actually been tested. Now the engines test them automatically.
IPO diligence asked for demonstrable governance. We delivered the whole system in one export, with the trail.
The week of evidence hunting before the audit simply ended. The audit became a query to the system.
See your controls actually being tested.
In 15 minutes you see your real risk map in the system, with governance, compliance and verified controls on one page.

What GRC is and why it must verify, not just record
GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) is the integration of three disciplines into a single corporate system: the policies and authority levels of governance, the mapping and treatment of risks — strategic, operational, regulatory and third-party — and compliance with the normative mosaic of laws, sector rules and contracts. Instead of operating in silos, governance, risk and compliance are orchestrated together, with the portfolio view the board needs to decide. Within the Kavuka portfolio the distinction is clear: Compliance is the integrity program; Risk Assessment is the assessment methodology; GRC is the system that orchestrates everything — policies, risks, controls, audits, action plans and evidence — in the integrated view governance requires.
The Kavuka thesis starts with a market diagnosis: traditional GRC is a system of record — forms, self-assessments and glorified spreadsheets. The global enterprise suites (ServiceNow, MetricStream, OneTrust, Resolver, LogicGate) are strong in workflow, risk libraries and IT integration, but share a structural weakness: they depend on self-assessment and reported data. The system records what people declare. The result is a GRC that exists for the audit, not for the decision — a graveyard of forms where the "green" control coexists with the real risk that was never tested.
Kavuka GRC is, by design, a system of verification. Controls that depend on external data — "we only hire sanction-free suppliers", "every high-risk customer goes through enhanced due diligence", "our counterparties are clean" — are not confirmed by a quarterly self-assessment checkmark; they are continuously tested by the in-house engines against the real base: clean third parties, sanctioned-free counterparties, valid records. The dashboard stops showing the declared state and starts showing the verified state. The recorded risk and the real risk stop diverging, and the evidence of each test is born documented, the moment the control runs.
The operational consequence is direct. The week of evidence hunting before every audit disappears, because the evidence is already documented — the audit becomes a lookup. The regulatory obligation stops getting lost in the mosaic, because each one has an owner, a deadline, a control and a test. And governance becomes demonstrable: the complete framework — policies, authority levels, risks, controls and trail — is exactly what IPO and M&A diligence and regulators examine. Kavuka GRC runs standalone or as a verification layer over the suite the company already has, feeding real-data tests into the existing system of record. It is, in short, the GRC that trusts but verifies — governance in real time.
What is the difference between GRC, Compliance and Risk Assessment?
Risk Assessment is the methodology for evaluating risks; Compliance is the integrity program (anti-corruption, ethics, third parties); GRC is the corporate system that integrates both with governance and broad regulatory compliance — the single view of policies, risks, controls and evidence.
What does 'controls tested by data' mean?
Controls that depend on external facts — "we only hire sanction-free suppliers", "every high-risk customer goes through enhanced due diligence" — are continuously verified by the Kavuka engines against the real base, instead of confirmed by quarterly self-assessment. The dashboard shows the verified state, not the declared one.
Does it replace my ServiceNow or MetricStream?
It can replace or complement: Kavuka GRC runs standalone or as a verification layer over your existing suite — the data tests feeding the system of record you already have. No rip-and-replace required.
Does it meet IPO and investor requirements?
Yes — the documented governance framework (policies, authority levels, risks, controls, trail) is exactly what capital-markets diligence examines. Governance stops being undemonstrable and becomes an export from the system.
How long does implementation take?
The connected model (risks + obligations + controls) is structured in weeks with our methodology; data tests begin as soon as the third-party and counterparty bases are loaded, with dedicated Customer Success.
Is Kavuka GRC compliant with data-protection law?
Yes. Processing relies on adequate legal bases, uses public or legally permitted sources, keeps a full audit trail, segregation of duties and encryption in transit and at rest. DPA available for enterprise clients.
Why does verifying instead of recording make a difference?
Because traditional GRC records what people declare — and the control that is "green" by declaration fails in the very incident it should prevent. By testing data-dependent controls with the engines, the recorded risk and the real risk stop diverging and governance starts to reflect reality, in real time.
