RiskWatch is a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform built by RiskWatch International. The company says it has made risk and compliance assessment software since 1993, beginning with physical and information security and later expanding to more than 40 regulatory frameworks.
The product is aimed at mid-market and enterprise teams that report against several standards at once, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-171 and CMMC. Its core idea is that risk, compliance, policy, vendor, physical security and cyber data should sit on the same controls instead of in separate tools or spreadsheets.
RiskWatch is headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with a development center in Hyderabad, India. It pairs the software with hands-on professional services.
RiskWatch runs on a single control library shared by six modules. A team turns on the framework libraries it needs, then scores a control once. A cross-mapping engine carries the answer and its evidence to every mapped library, so one assessment can satisfy SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and NIST requirements together.
Because the modules share records, a finding in compliance can update the risk register, a policy change can flow into vendor reviews, and a physical security gap can appear in cyber risk. Dashboards show compliance score, risk index and evidence freshness as findings come in.
Every score, owner and edit is versioned and exportable, and the platform produces auditor-ready reports. Framework libraries are described as maintained as standards change, and custom content can be uploaded through Excel or API.
The six modules each cover a distinct job. Compliance Management handles multi-framework assessments. Risk Management keeps inherent and residual risk on one register with a KRI library and treatment workflows. Physical Security Assessment supports ASIS PS, FEMA, NFPA 1600 and workplace violence libraries with multi-site rollups.
Policy Management covers authoring, approval workflow, version control and attestation tracking with reminders. Cyber & IT Risk pre-maps NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001 Annex A, CIS Controls v8 and SOC 2 criteria. Third-Party Risk Management adds a vendor register, sub-processor cascade tracking, BAA and DPA renewal alerts and questionnaire auto-fill.
Other details include multi-entity hierarchies, regional data residency, multi-currency and multi-locale audit trails, and SSO with SCIM for identity management.
RiskWatch is a GRC platform for risk, compliance, physical security, policy, vendor and cyber risk management. It covers more than 40 frameworks on one cross-mapped control library. The company says it has built assessment software since 1993.
RiskWatch is sold on custom quotes based on team size, frameworks, deployment, implementation tier and integrations. The homepage comparison table lists a starting price of $99 per month, while the quote page says no pricing page is published. Quotes are typically returned within 24 hours.
