Governance, risk & compliance

Run your business with confidence

One system for your obligations, risks, controls and incidents. AI can do the admin, with evidence ready when your board or regulator asks for it. All at a fraction of the cost of traditional enterprise platforms.

As your business grows

You've outgrown spreadsheets. Enterprise GRC was never built for you.

As your business grows, so does your exposure. The tools that got you here start hiding the things you need to see.

01

You can't see your full position

Important information sits across spreadsheets, documents and different teams. Nobody has a clear view of the whole picture.

02

Good people are stuck doing admin

Chasing updates, maintaining registers and preparing reports takes time your people could spend adding more value.

03

Enterprise GRC is more than you need

Large platforms bring cost, complexity and long implementations when what you need is something that just works.

Who Helm is for

Built for regulated businesses. Ideal for licensed financial services.

Whatever your licence, the question from your board and regulator is the same: can you show you're meeting your obligations? Helm helps you answer it.

Your GRC hub

Everything you need to manage GRC - without the complexity.

Helm brings your GRC information together in one place and guides people through the work needed to keep it accurate, current and properly managed.

Regulatory discovery

Know what may apply to your business.

Based on where you operate and what your business does, Helm suggests potentially relevant regulators and regulations for you to review and add directly to your framework.

Stay on top of what matters

Know exactly what you need to do.

Helm turns your GRC processes into clear, actionable tasks, giving each person a simple view of what needs attention, when it's due and what to do next.

People don't need to understand the whole framework to play their part in managing it well.

Everything connected

See the relationships behind the information.

Connect related GRC information so you can understand the context behind an individual record and how it fits into the wider picture.

Instead of separate registers and disconnected information, Helm makes relationships visible and easy to navigate.

Quality built in

Be confident in the data you're relying on.

Helm continuously checks the quality of your GRC data and shows exactly what needs attention.

Resolve the identified issues and you can be confident your information is complete, current and being managed in line with your framework.

Built around your business

Your framework. Your terminology. Your way of working.

Configure Helm around the way your organisation manages GRC - from methodologies and categories to terminology, review cycles and identifiers.

Get the structure and control of a purpose-built platform without being forced into somebody else's framework.

Your data. Your AI.

Put your existing AI tools to work on risk & compliance

Connect the AI tools your organisation already uses to Helm, giving them the context to deliver better insights, answer complex questions and take action on your behalf.

Get more value from AI while keeping your data within the AI tools and providers your organisation already trusts.

How it works

Choose the AI. Helm provides the GRC context.

Helm uses the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect with compatible AI platforms. That means you're not locked into a particular model or provider as AI technology evolves.

From data to decisions

Spend more time managing risk. Less time building reports.

When it's time for a committee, board meeting or management discussion, Helm makes it easy to turn your GRC information into clear, decision-ready reporting.

Generate structured, consistent reports using Helm's built-in reporting - or use a connected AI agent to analyse your information and create something tailored to exactly what you need.

Built-in reporting

Generate consistent reports directly from Helm using the latest information in the platform. Summarise your position, highlight what needs attention and present complex information in a format that's easy to understand.

AI-powered reporting

Ask a connected AI agent to analyse your Helm data, identify insights and create a tailored output - from a management summary to a presentation pack ready for discussion.
