Automate your cybersecurity risk and compliance management to earn and prove trust

Most cyber GRC tools claim automation. SharpenCISO is one the few that actually embedds proven GRC processes and provides accurate recommendations.

From a unique platform: prove trust and maintain your cyber compliance

Continuous compliance Instead of treating compliance as a periodic audit exercise, SharpenCISO helps you monitor your controls continuously and update your compliance posture in real time as your infrastructure changes. You always know where you stand against your favorite frameworks, not just on the day an auditor asks.
Automated evidence collection SharpenCISO pulls proof of implemented controls from your systems, instead of your team chasing screenshots and spreadsheets. Evidence stays current, timestamped, and audit-ready without the manual overhead. So you can always be audit-ready and prove your compliance anytime!
NIS2 platform assessment A dedicated assessment module walks you through NIS2 requirements based on your entity type (essential or important), mapping your existing controls against the directive and flagging gaps that need attention before your deadline. Our multi-framework module lets you manage the different national variations of the NIS2 directive, based on the local regulations applicable to each of your subsidiaries.
DORA platform assessment Purpose-built for financial-sector resilience requirements, SharpenCISO allows you to automate your DORA assessment. In addition, our module dedicated to third-party management cover DORA's ICT risks management and register of information. This translates DORA's dense regulatory text into a clear, trackable action plan.
Manage multi-framework audits Automatically pre-fill your compliance questionnaires using existing evidence (policies, procedures, flow matrix, architecture schema…). Reuse and map answers from previous assessments (NIS2, ISO 27001, NIST, AI Act, CRA, DORA …) to new frameworks to significantly reduce audit preparation time.
Third-Party risks management Assess and monitor the security posture of your vendors throughout the relationship, not just at onboarding, so risk introduced through your supply chain doesn't go unnoticed. Purpose-built for financial-sector resilience requirements, this module covers also DORA's ICT risk management and the Register of Information; translating DORA's dense regulatory text into a clear, trackable action plan.
Risk analysis, security-by-design Automatically pre-fill your end-to-end Security-by-Design workflow, from requirements to architecture committee and go-live validation. Reuse past project data to accelerate reviews, reduce workload, and standardize output quality. Powered by AI with HITL (human in the loop) by default, SharpenCISO also captures weak signal from available sources to enhance risk identification and generates pragmatic action plans.
Quantitative risk analysis SharpenCISO allows you to go beyond red-amber-green ratings and translate risk into financial terms your board can act on. Quantitative modeling shows the potential monetary impact of each risk, making it easier to justify security investment in the language of the business.
Centralized risk dashboard Produce and visualize your cyber risks and compliance Dashboards anytime as SharpenCISO consolidates data from its cyber risks and compliance modules (assessments, security-by-design, ICT risk management, third-party management) into a centralized cockpit. Establish internal security benchmarks across entities and projects, and enable data-driven decisions across your organization.
Collaborative platform Bring security, IT, vendors and business stakeholders into a shared workspace to review security questionnaires, track remediation, assign ownership, and move action items forward together, instead of managing compliance work across disconnected emails and spreadsheets.
Roles and profile management Control exactly who sees and does what on the platform, with tailored access for CISOs, IT teams, auditors, and board members, so sensitive risk data reaches the right people and no one else. SharpenCISO gives every GRC stakeholder a collaborative platform built for their role.
Organization management Organization management lets administrators create entities, add or remove members, and nominate a local admin for each entity to own its compliance and risk management. This keeps every entity working on the same tool with the same process. It replaces a patchwork of per-entity spreadsheets with a single, organized structure.
Blazing fast, incredibly smooth, and professional. This is a platform you actually want to use.
