What Makes Symbiant Different

Integrated GRC and Audit Management Software That’s Agile, Scalable, and Budget-Friendly

From pioneering the first Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC) SaaS platform to delivering the most advanced, fully integrated, and cost-effective solution on the market. Symbiant is trusted by organisations of all sizes to simplify processes, enhance collaboration, and support smarter decisions since 1999.

Symbiant GRC, Risk and Audit Management Software is The First True GRC SaaS Platform, Still Leading the Way

In 2002, Symbiant launched the world’s first web-based, collaborative GRC solution, years ahead of its time. From integrated risk registers and audits to workshops and KRIs, our hosted solution (now called SaaS) brought everything under one roof. Six major rewrites later, we’re still leading, refining features, increasing speed, and listening to clients every step of the way.

The All-in-One Cloud-Based, Powerful, Agile, and Fully Customisable GRC & Audit Management Platform

Symbiant.one, our sixth-generation platform, is arguably the world’s most advanced GRC solution. It’s fast, agile, and intuitive, designed to adapt to your organisation’s needs without complexity or compromise.

Built from the ground up as a true cloud platform, Symbiant.one integrates seamlessly with AWS, allowing us to introduce new features, including AI capabilities, without disrupting your operations.

The power of Symbiant.one lies in its flexibility. Need a solution for HR? No need to invest in a separate platform. Simply create a new, fully integrated module,customised to your exact needs, complete with user roles, workflows, and reporting.

Our platform doesn’t just produce powerful, dynamic reports, it’s also fully time-aware. With a single date entry, you can instantly view data as it existed at any point in the past, eliminating the need to store historic reports manually.

The Benefits of a Truly Integrated, Customisable GRC and Audit Management Solution

The advantages of having a truly fully integrated platform for all your business intelligence needs are significant. It greatly reduces the total cost of ownership while significantly improving productivity.

We say “truly fully integrated” because many software providers have acquired separate solutions and stitched them together, creating a patchwork of loosely connected tools. This is not the same as having a platform that genuinely allows data from any part of the system to be shared and integrated as needed.

Symbiant.one is a genuinely fully integrated solution.

Another key benefit of Symbiant.one is the ability to fully customise the system to work the way you need it to. There’s no need to change your existing methodologies, the system adapts to your way of working, not the other way around.

Symbiant.one is also advanced enough to deliver different user experiences. One user might use a simple form, while another may work with a more complex one. Each experience can be tailored to individual needs, making it easier to embed the system and gain user buy-in.

The platform is also future-proof. You can modify methodologies or data forms at any time to reflect your current requirements, making it clear why Symbiant.one is the best choice for GRC and audit software.

Ongoing Innovation in GRC Software Without Compromising on Cost or Security

At Symbiant, we continuously enhance our system to better meet the needs of our clients.

Client needs and feedback are at the core of Symbiant’s development process. We actively listen and turn suggestions into reality.

While there have been six complete system rewrites, each version includes countless minor updates and refinements. These ongoing updates ensure clients receive the functionality they need, when they need it.

We also pursue relevant certifications to provide clients with confidence in our data security and capabilities. For instance, we achieved the Cyber Essentials Plus certification—required by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), who selected Symbiant as their solution following a rigorous evaluation process.

Even as we evolve and advance, we remain committed to keeping costs as low as possible.

Why Symbiant Offers Industry-Leading GRC Software at a Fraction of the Cost

One of the most surprising things about Symbiant is the cost significantly lower than many of our competitors.

People often ask:
“How can you charge a fraction of what others do?”
“If it’s so much cheaper, how can it be better?”

The answer lies in our journey. Unlike others, we’ve grown organically. We’ve avoided equity funding, acquisitions, and debt. Instead, we’ve built our business steadily over time, through experience, innovation, and client trust.

With over two decades of refinement and thousands of users, our solution is mature, low-maintenance, and built on solid foundations. That’s the advantage of being the original creators of the first GRC SaaS solution.

Our longevity, expertise, and client-first approach are why Symbiant remains the smartest and most cost-effective choice for your business.

Symbiant’s Controls and Policies Module. By linking controls to your risks, you unlock the Control Effectiveness Report, which highlights your most valuable controls and quantifies how much risk reduction each one provides. This insight helps determine which controls offer the most impact and where improvements are needed.

”We have been using Symbiants’ risk software for 10 years now and have been impressed with the high level of service and the outstanding features of the software.

You would struggle to find better so don’t be put off by their incredibly low pricing.”
