Governance, risk & compliance
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.
Why Helm
As organisations grow and requirements become more complex, keeping risk and compliance information accurate, connected and ready for scrutiny becomes increasingly difficult.
Important information sits across spreadsheets, documents and different teams. Nobody has a clear view of the whole picture.
Chasing updates, maintaining registers and preparing reports takes time your people could spend adding more value.
Without a reliable record of decisions, actions and changes, important gaps can go unnoticed - leaving you exposed when your board or regulator asks questions.
Who Helm is for
Whether you're building your risk and compliance framework or improving existing processes, Helm helps you stay in control.
Your GRC hub
Helm brings your GRC information together in one place and guides people through the work needed to keep it accurate, current and properly managed.
Built around your business
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.
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
Helm uses the 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.

Connected systems
Connect the specialist tools your business already uses to Helm, keeping your risk and compliance information complete and up to date without duplicating work across systems.
Using MCP, AI agents can monitor connected systems for changes, update relevant records in Helm and identify emerging risks requiring attention - automatically or whenever you need.

In practice
In this example, a ChatGPT agent is scheduled to review Jira every weekday for new incidents, vulnerabilities and control weaknesses.
It can create or update relevant records in Helm, avoid duplicates and flag emerging risks for management review - without manually entering the same information twice.
Scheduled every weekday at 8am
From data to decisions
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.
