Grc software pricing is a phrase that gets searched by two people: the one who wants a definition for a memo and the one who has to sign an attestation about it next quarter. This page is written for the second. For a regulated small business, grc software pricing comes down to a record and a set of figures: the record is the obligations, the controls, the evidence, the incidents, the cases and the attestations, kept with an owner, a date and a status; the figures are the evidence load that record puts on its reviewers, the days an audit of it takes, the gaps an audit will find and what they cost, the incidents and cases it produces, and the training it requires. The sections below explain grc software pricing in those terms, say what it is not, and show where the free sheets on this site work each figure from the program's own numbers with no account.
Pricing, read as cost per obligation
Compliance software pricing is quoted per user, per framework or per year, and the honest comparison is cost per obligation per month: the annual price over twelve over the obligations the register holds. Attestvio Pro is $29 a month for the whole program, which on the worked example's 60 obligations is under fifty cents an obligation. A quote that cannot be turned into that figure has not been quoted for a small business.
Comparing quotes that are not comparable
Vendors price on different units, so a list of annual figures tells you very little. Normalise before comparing: what does a year cost for this number of users, this number of obligations and this number of evidence items, including implementation, and what does the second year cost when the introductory discount ends. Then ask what is charged separately, because integrations, extra frameworks, additional entities and support tiers are where the difference usually lives. The figure that decides it is cost against reviewer hours removed, which the register sheet on this site returns from your own counts.
The figures behind grc software pricing
Evidence items and reviewer hours; audit samples, days and coverage; expected gaps, remediation hours and cost; incident hours; case backlog months; training seats outstanding. Each is a free sheet on this site and each computes from the program's own inputs. For regulatory compliance the sheet to start with is the obligations register sheet, which works the figure a regulated small business is examined on first. A program that knows those numbers has stopped estimating its own compliance.
What grc software pricing is not
It is not a certificate, a piece of software or a consultant's memo, although all three are sold under the name. It is a record and the figures that follow from it, kept by the business that owes the obligations. The guide this page supports covers choosing among regulatory compliance consulting firms, the help a small business buys around that record. Attestvio Pro keeps the record at one flat price; the sheets are free with no account.
What grc software pricing means in practice
For a regulated small business, it means being able to show, for each obligation, which control satisfies it, what evidence proves the control operated, who reviewed the evidence and who attested to the result. The record is the obligations, the controls, the evidence, the incidents, the cases and the attestations. The regulator's own material, linked below, says what the obligations are; this site publishes none of that and no legal advice. What it publishes is the arithmetic: the obligations register sheet turns the count of obligations, controls and evidence items into reviewer hours and the months to a full attestation.
Questions people ask about grc software pricing
What is grc software pricing?
For a regulated small business: keeping the obligations, the controls, the evidence, the incidents, the cases and the attestations as a record with an owner, a date and a status, and being able to show for each obligation the control, the evidence and the attestation. The regulator's own material, linked below, defines the obligations; the free sheets on this site work the arithmetic.
Who is responsible for grc software pricing in a small business?
The compliance officer, or the owner wearing that hat, who signs the attestation. The sheets on this site are written for that person and need no account.
Does Attestvio make a business compliant with regulatory compliance?
No. The business meets the obligations; Attestvio keeps the record and works the figures, and publishes no rule and no advice. Counsel and the regulator's own material say what the obligations are.
