Product Description

Isora GRC is a platform designed to help organizations enhance their cybersecurity posture by automating complex risk management tasks.

The UX Challenge

The Journey and Future Vision of Isora GRC

Isora GRC is on a mission to become a one-stop solution for governance, risk, and compliance. By weaving in AI, the platform is set to tackle the ever-growing cybercrime landscape and meet stringent regulatory demands head-on. It’s all about empowering infosec pros and making security a team sport across the organization.

Isora’s primary users are dedicated infosec professionals juggling complex security assessments. Secondary users include employees and external vendors who also play a part. Isora GRC makes risk management a breeze, encourages teamwork, and turns cybersecurity into an engaging challenge. It’s like having a coach that helps ensure compliance and strengthens your defense.

The journey to this point wasn’t a walk in the park. Extensive user research—think interviews, surveys, and usability tests—paved the way. This feedback loop helped us zero in on what matters. The result? A platform that simplifies daunting tasks improves data collection, speeds up gap identification, and ensures efficient compliance.

We’ve adopted a subscription model targeting higher education and public sector organizations. The proof is in the pudding: successful implementations have delivered measurable improvements in risk mitigation, compliance, and overall security posture. Plus, it’s a budget-friendly win with substantial cost savings.
