“Before Protecht, each business unit managed risk in its own spreadsheet… Now, we provide committees with up-to-date information and visual insights. It’s been life-changing for the organization.” – Rishad Paul Smartt, Senior Risk & Compliance Manager, AA New Zealand.
Key information and topics covered
Spreadsheets and email feel familiar, but in governance, risk and compliance they create blind spots: no audit trail, no version control, and no easy way to link risks, controls and incidents. Reporting lags; workflows disappear into inboxes. Regulators expect real-time assurance: manual tools cannot keep up.
This eBook shows how to move from manual chaos to a connected GRC platform. You’ll learn what good looks like (structured, linked, auditable data), how to prioritize usability and no-code configuration, and which AI-enhanced capabilities are worth your attention now and later.
It then walks you through a pragmatic buying process: anchor on real use cases, run structured demos, avoid over- or under-buying, and build consensus with stakeholders. Finally, it maps a realistic first-year success plan, from quick wins (unified registers, attestations, dashboards) to scaling assurance and AI-supported insight. Download the guide and take the first step to a single source of truth.
