What CISOs and GRC teams say about GRC challenges
If any of these use cases resonate with you, let's talk!
A word from our founders
10+ years of GRC expertise, engineered into one platform
SharpenCISO is not another checkbox tool. It was built by cybersecurity experts, for cybersecurity professionals — embedding 10+ years of hands-on GRC experience directly into the platform. Every workflow, finding, and recommendation has been shaped by what actually works in the field: the processes, indicators, and insights that CISOs rely on to make real decisions. This is compliance and Security-by-Design done right — not automated for automation's sake, but engineered to deliver outcomes that matter.
Built with a long-term vision to serve the best interests of our clients and partners, SharpenCISO is the product of a dedicated team — not simply the output of a no-code generation tool. Behind the platform stands a founding team supported by talented developers and UX designers, committed to delivering excellence and scaling alongside our clients.
Beyond the platform, we are committed to building lasting relationships grounded in trust — with both our clients and partners. From the very first conversation to every piece of feedback your team shares, we work collaboratively, because we believe that is how we grow together. We are convinced that SharpenCISO will meaningfully improve the way you approach GRC — and equally, we know that your insights and feedback are what drive us to continuously raise the bar on our platform and services.

FAQ
Everything you need to know
Who has access to the tool?
Access to the platform is governed by a role-based access matrix. By default, only you and your team have access. Any additional user can be granted access by your team administrator, strictly within the boundaries of the predefined role matrix and according to your organizational needs.
Where is the tool hosted?
Our infrastructure is hosted on Scaleway (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified), a French sovereign cloud provider. For clients with specific requirements, we offer flexible deployment options — including hosting on your own cloud landing zone or on-premise within your existing infrastructure — as part of a tailored integration.
What AI engine is used?
Our platform is AI-engine agnostic and compatible with any major provider. By default, it is powered by a sovereign AI engine. Upon request, we can seamlessly connect the platform to your internal or preferred AI engine as part of a dedicated integration.
What happens to your data after analysis?
Your data is processed solely by the AI engine to perform analysis within your defined scope of work. No data is retained beyond what is strictly necessary. Upon contract termination, all data uploaded to the platform is permanently deleted. If your data is stored on your own repository, it remains entirely under your control throughout — and after — the engagement.
