GRC for companies that do not have a GRC department
AffinePath keeps your risks, the safeguards around them and the evidence for each in one live picture, run by the team you already have.
Most risk platforms were built for enterprises with whole departments to feed them. If you are paying a fortune for software your team avoids, or holding the whole risk programme together on your own, AffinePath is being built for you.

Sound familiar?
The tools that dominate risk management were designed for banks and insurers, with whole departments to feed them and budgets to match. None of this is invented. It is what users of those platforms write in their own reviews.
The licence is quoted behind a sales call, enterprise contracts run three to five years, and the consulting on top regularly lands between $200,000 and $500,000. Modules you paid for sit unused.
Six to twelve months to implement is common, the platform expects a dedicated administrator, and the learning curve is steep. Without a GRC department, the rollout becomes a second job nobody has time for.
Updating one risk means three or four extra screens, then doing the same again in the report. Uploading your own spreadsheet is treated as a missing feature, so the manual work you hoped to retire is still on your desk.
You need a partner to implement it, and support itself needs technical expertise. Feature requests join a queue of thousands and the roadmap follows the biggest accounts. You are a small name on a large book.
None of that is a you problem. Those platforms were designed for organisations with different budgets and bigger teams. AffinePath starts from the other end: the team and the budget you actually have.
What is coming
The reading goes in once. The risk score, the board view and the open action all change together. Nobody rekeys it, and nothing waits for a monthly batch. The rest of the answer is just as direct: no implementation fee, no mandatory partner, and prices printed on the page instead of quoted behind a call.
A safeguard stops working. The risk it protects moves, and an action with a deadline is written against it. No spreadsheets to update afterwards.
When the auditor calls, one click produces the dated record for that risk: the risk itself, the safeguards covering it, every reading and result against them. No fire drills.
Say what you can afford to lose, in your own currency. When a risk's worst-case cost passes that ceiling, you get an early warning. The board sees numbers, not opinion-based heat maps.
Why we are building it
I kept meeting companies whose risk paperwork said one thing and whose practice said another. AffinePath exists so the record and the practice are the same thing.
