The challenge
You know these walls.
Invisible decisions
Decisions are made across the enterprise with little visibility or accountability.
Disconnected systems
Policies, obligations and controls are in different systems with no connection.
Evidence under pressure
Evidence is hard to collect and validate, especially under pressure.
Audit scramble
Audit readiness becomes a scramble instead of a steady state.
Obligation mapping
Link obligations and controls to the decisions and processes they govern.
- Policy lifecycle connected, with decision lineage on every choice
- Obligations mapped to controls
- Committee-ready summaries drafted from the live model
Evidence in context
Capture and link evidence to controls, obligations and decisions.
- Assign owners, track actions and assurance across the enterprise
- Faster evidence collection
- Sign-off campaigns tracked to completion
Decision-aware oversight
See the rationale, impacts and obligations behind each decision.
- Govern decisions, not just activity
- Monitor controls with real-time status and effectiveness insights
- Maintain a complete, traceable audit trail mapped to frameworks
“AlignX gives us the context we need to oversee what matters, not just tick boxes. Audit readiness is now our normal state.”

What Governance and ERM Leaders ask us.
What GRC, ERM and audit tools does AlignX consolidate or augment?
AlignX brings overall governance and risk management into one enterprise view. Where you run standard GRC/IRM functionality (ServiceNow IRM, Archer, LogicGate, MetricStream), ERM spreadsheets, policy attestation and control testing workpapers, AlignX consolidates them. Where you use a specialised GRC tool for deep category-specific work, AlignX augments and extends rather than replaces. The result is fewer tools, one taxonomy, one source of truth.
Can we retire our current GRC platform and save cost?
For most customers, yes, where the platform is being used for standard GRC functionality that AlignX delivers. Standalone GRC licences (typically 150k to 500k AUD annually depending on scale) come out. Where deep specialised functionality is genuinely used, AlignX integrates and extends. Consolidation usually pays for AlignX within the first year.
How does AlignX handle risk appetite, tolerance and treatment across the enterprise?
Risk appetite and tolerance are configured per risk category with automated breach detection. Every risk carries appetite, tolerance, treatment strategy (accept, avoid, reduce, transfer) and treatment plan with owner and due date. Appetite breaches escalate automatically to the right forum.
Can we run our risk taxonomy and framework (ISO 31000, COSO ERM) in AlignX?
Yes. Risk taxonomies, likelihood and impact scales, and heat maps are fully configurable to your framework. AlignX ships with ISO 31000 and COSO ERM templates. You configure once, then every risk anywhere in the enterprise uses the same framework.
How do we consolidate risk from finance, cyber, operational, compliance and strategic sources?
All risk categories live in one register with category-specific views. Cyber risks flow in from the CISO workflow, financial risks from finance, compliance from legal, without duplication. Enterprise risk reports the aggregate; category leaders see their slice.
Can boards and audit committees see a live view without waiting for the quarterly report?
Yes. The board risk view is live. Appetite breaches, top risks by residual impact, treatment progress and control effectiveness all refresh on demand. Audit committees get evidence in real time, which shortens their meetings and reduces surprise findings.
How does AlignX handle attestations, controls testing and audit evidence?
Configurable attestation and testing workflows with evidence capture and audit trail. Every control test result, every policy attestation and every audit finding lives on the connected record. When auditors ask for evidence, you filter, export and hand it over in minutes.
