Question 1

What is ezGRC?

Accepted Answer

ezGRC is a single platform covering both compliance automation (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR and more) and the integrated risk management modules that SOC-2-only tools don't sell — internal audit, audit planning, vendor and fourth-party risk, ESG reporting, and business continuity.

Question 2

Which compliance frameworks ship pre-loaded?

Accepted Answer

41 frameworks ship with requirements and controls already populated, including SOC 2, ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, SOX ITGC, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CIS Controls v8, CMMC, CSA STAR CCM, FedRAMP, StateRAMP, CJIS, IRS 1075, HITRUST CSF, FFIEC, GLBA, NERC CIP, TISAX, SWIFT CSP, NY DFS 500, UK Cyber Essentials, IRAP, MTCS, BSI C5, ENS, K-ISMS-P, PIPL, LGPD, and six ESG frameworks (GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP, UN SDGs, EU CSRD/ESRS). Custom framework authoring with CSV/JSON bulk import is bundled.

Question 3

Does ezGRC support vendor and fourth-party risk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ezGRC includes a security questionnaire builder, an external vendor portal for responses, document expiry tracking, a SOC 2 report parser, contract and SLA management, and a fourth-party supply-chain dependency graph with external risk signals.

Question 4

Can ezGRC run with a private LLM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ezGRC exposes an organization-level AI proxy setting. Point at an internal endpoint and evidence, prompts, and embeddings stay inside your tenant. The platform also supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter when a public provider is preferred.

Question 5

Does ezGRC handle ESG reporting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ezGRC ships ESG modules including materiality assessment with double-materiality for EU CSRD, stakeholder mapping, ESG data points with verification status, assurance provider management, and report generation across GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP, UN SDGs, and EU CSRD/ESRS.

Question 6

Which systems can ezGRC pull evidence from?

Accepted Answer

ezGRC integrates with cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes), identity (Okta, Azure AD/Entra, Google Workspace), source and CI (GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Jenkins, CircleCI, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions), MDM (Kandji, Jamf, Intune), EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Carbon Black), SIEM (Splunk, Elastic, Sumo Logic), CSPM (Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud), vulnerability (Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7, Snyk), ITSM (ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Zendesk, Freshservice), HR (Workday, BambooHR, ADP, Greenhouse, SAP SuccessFactors), collaboration (Confluence, SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive), and network security (Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler).

Question 7

Is there an external auditor experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ezGRC includes a dedicated auditor portal with token-based access (no full system login), curated evidence rooms, scoped requests and findings, time-limited tokens, and full IP and user-agent activity logging. Auditor read-only seats are included at every tier.

Question 8

How is ezGRC sold?

Accepted Answer

ezGRC is sold direct and through AWS Marketplace. Marketplace subscriptions draw down committed AWS spend (EDP or Private Pricing) and skip the standard procurement review path. Contact sales for tier guidance and quoting.
