Symbiant has been awarded a place on G-Cloud 15, our sixth consecutive year on the UK Government framework, giving public-sector organisations a recognised route to procure our flexible, AI-assisted GRC and audit management software.
We are proud to announce that Symbiant’s award-winning, highly trusted and agile GRC Software has once again been awarded a place on the UK Government’s G-Cloud framework.
Our successful appointment to G-Cloud 15 marks six consecutive years as a framework supplier and reinforces our continued commitment to helping public-sector organisations manage risk, audit, compliance and governance more effectively.
Through G-Cloud 15, eligible public-sector organisations will be able to procure a flexible, AI-assisted platform that delivers comprehensive GRC and audit capability without the cost and complexity typically associated with large enterprise systems.
Orange Book–Aligned and Proven Across the Public Sector
Symbiant is designed to support alignment with HM Treasury’s Orange Book principles and was developed with direct input from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to address real public-sector risk management requirements.
The platform supports clear risk ownership, structured assessments, connected controls, traceable review cycles, continual improvement and evidence-based reporting—all within one configurable system.
Symbiant is already used by a growing range of UK public bodies and regulatory organisations, including UKHSA, CITB, the Oil and Pipelines Agency, the Office for Nuclear Regulation and numerous local authorities.
This public-sector adoption demonstrates Symbiant’s ability to deliver robust, auditable risk management without the cost and complexity typically associated with large enterprise systems.

Six Consecutive Years on G-Cloud
Being awarded a place on G-Cloud 15 represents an important milestone for Symbiant.
For six consecutive years, our inclusion on the framework has provided public-sector buyers with a recognised route to procure our software and work directly with the team that develops, configures and supports it.
This latest appointment builds on more than 25 years of experience. Since 1999, Symbiant has helped organisations replace disconnected spreadsheets, emails and manual reporting with configurable systems that connect risk, audit, compliance and governance information.
We are proud to continue that work through G-Cloud 15.
Independent User Feedback from UKHSA
Symbiant’s performance in a major public-sector environment is supported by independent user feedback collected by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
One year after UKHSA replaced spreadsheet-based risk management processes with Symbiant GRC software, feedback from 450 system users reported:
- 95% were satisfied or better with the system as a whole
- 97% were satisfied or better with the support they received
These results demonstrate strong user confidence in both the platform and the support behind it, providing measurable evidence of Symbiant’s ability to operate effectively within a complex, high-responsibility public-sector environment.
What Is G-Cloud 15?
G-Cloud 15, also known as RM1557.15, is the latest version of the UK Government framework for cloud-based software, hosting and support services.
The framework is designed to give eligible public-sector organisations a quicker and more straightforward route to cloud technology from a range of suppliers, including specialist UK SMEs.
Let under the Procurement Act 2023, G-Cloud 15 will replace G-Cloud 14 and is expected to become available to buyers during the week commencing 7 September 2026.
Symbiant is already included in the official G-Cloud 15 supplier directory.
What G-Cloud 15 Means for UK Public Sector Organisations
G-Cloud 15 provides UK public-sector organisations with an established government framework for procuring cloud software, hosting and support services.
For buyers, this can simplify the procurement process by providing a recognised route to evaluate and purchase services from suppliers already listed on the framework, with published service information, pricing and contractual terms.
This can help organisations reduce procurement complexity, improve transparency and move more efficiently from evaluation to implementation, while still carrying out the due diligence required for their own operational, security and governance needs.
For organisations looking to modernise risk, audit, compliance or governance processes, Symbiant’s inclusion on G-Cloud 15 means the platform can be considered and procured through an established public-sector purchasing route rather than requiring an entirely separate procurement process.
A Connected Platform for Public-Sector GRC and Audit
Public-sector organisations must manage an increasingly connected range of strategic, operational, financial, regulatory, cyber and service-delivery risks, often while working within significant budget and resource constraints.
However, essential information is frequently divided between spreadsheets, documents, emails and separate departmental systems.
This makes it harder to maintain oversight, demonstrate accountability and provide decision-makers with a current view of organisational risk.
Symbiant brings this information together within one agile, secure and configurable platform.
Organisations can select and connect the capabilities they require, including:
- Risk registers and assessments
- Internal audit and working papers
- Audit recommendations and action tracking
- Controls and policy management
- Compliance monitoring
- Questionnaires and assessments
- Incidents and complaints
- Key risk indicators
- Business objectives
- Due diligence
- Document management
- Data protection impact assessments
Risks can be linked directly to controls, incidents, objectives, audit findings and actions. This allows teams to understand the wider context behind each record rather than managing important information in isolation.
Data can be entered once, connected and reused across the platform, reducing duplication while creating a more complete and accountable source of information.
Configured Around Your Organisation
Public-sector organisations do not all operate in the same way. Each has its own structures, terminology, responsibilities, risk methodologies and reporting requirements.
Symbiant can therefore be configured around the organisation rather than forcing the organisation to adapt to a rigid template.
Authorised users can configure:
- Forms, fields and categories
- Risk-scoring methodologies
- Inherent, current and residual risk assessments
- Review and approval workflows
- Roles and permissions
- Automated reminders and escalations
- Dashboards and reports
- Organisational structures and terminology
Its modular structure allows organisations to begin with the capabilities they need today and introduce additional connected modules as their requirements develop.
AI-Assisted, Human-Led
Symbiant’s optional AI Assistant is designed to support professional judgement—not replace it.
It can help authorised users analyse risk and control information, identify potential duplicate records, uncover relevant connections and support the preparation of risks, controls, mitigations and actions.
Human users remain responsible for reviewing, approving and acting on every suggestion.
This AI-assisted approach can reduce administrative work while preserving the human oversight, accountability and audit trails required within public-sector environments.
Supporting Public-Sector Organisations
Symbiant has extensive experience supporting public-sector organisations and local authorities.
Our local government customers include Durham, Gateshead, Glasgow, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside and Sunderland.
This experience has given us a strong understanding of the pressures public bodies face: increasing governance expectations, limited resources, complex organisational structures and the need to demonstrate that risks, controls and actions are being managed effectively.
Symbiant combines configurable technology with UK-based hosting, detailed audit trails, role-based permissions and credentials including Cyber Essentials Plus.
Configuration, training and ongoing support are included, giving customers direct access to a knowledgeable UK-based team without creating unnecessary reliance on external consultants.
Continuing Our Commitment
Our sixth consecutive year on G-Cloud reflects our long-term commitment to making capable GRC and audit management software accessible to public-sector organisations.
We believe public bodies should not have to choose between disconnected manual processes and costly, rigid enterprise platforms.
Symbiant offers a flexible alternative: select the modules you need, configure them around your organisation and connect important information across risk, audit, compliance and governance.
We are proud to have been awarded a place on G-Cloud 15 and look forward to continuing to support public-sector organisations through the framework.
