GRC software is used to manage compliance training, policies, records, incidents, risks and audits from one platform. Organisations use it to meet legal obligations, prepare for audits and replace the spreadsheets and disconnected tools that compliance usually lives in.
Governance, Risk And Compliance (GRC) Software
Sentrient's GRC software is built for Australian businesses, from small teams to large organisations. Manage compliance training, policies, records, incidents, risks and audits from one platform, with legally endorsed Australian content pre-loaded and real-time reporting to help you stay ready for audits. Set up in minutes, not months.
What is GRC Software?
GRC software is a digital platform that helps organisations manage compliance training, policies, records, incidents, risks and audits in one place. Sentrient’s GRC Software replaces the patchwork most businesses start with, where training sits in one tool, policies on a shared drive and the risk register in a spreadsheet nobody trusts. HR managers, compliance leads and operations teams use GRC software to assign training, capture policy acknowledgements, log incidents as they happen and pull audit-ready reports on demand. In Australia, that means staying on top of obligations under WHS law, the Privacy Act 1988 and standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. Sentrient’s GRC software comes pre-loaded with legally endorsed Australian courses and policy templates, so you start with content written for local law, not a blank page.
Why Choose All-In-One GRC Software?
When training, policies, incidents and risks live in separate tools, you get four logins, four sets of data and no clear answer when the board asks “are we compliant?” All-in-one GRC software closes those gaps. Sentrient gives you one record per person, one dashboard across everything, and one report when the auditor calls. Your team learns a single platform, and you manage one subscription instead of a stack of disconnected tools.

Why Choose Sentrient Over Other GRC Software?
Most GRC software falls into one of two camps: enterprise platforms built for risk and audit teams, or point tools that cover one job. Sentrient sits deliberately in neither.
- Australian content built in, not bolted on
Legally endorsed courses and policy templates written for Australian law, where most global platforms leave content to you or localise it after the fact. - The whole job, one subscription
Training, policies, records, incidents, risks and audits together, where many GRC tools start and stop at risk registers and audit workflows. - Live in days, not a project plan
Pre-loaded content and workflows mean no consultants and no six-month implementation phase. - Certified, not just claimed
Sentrient itself is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, the same standards it helps you manage. - Support in your timezone
An Australian team for onboarding, questions and account management, not a ticket queue overseas.

Your GRC Software Questions, Answered

Get the insights you need to make informed decisions about how our GRC software can simplify and streamline your business operations.
If you have staff, you have obligations under WHS, privacy and workplace law, regardless of size. GRC software with pre-built content does the work a dedicated compliance hire otherwise would, which is why it often suits smaller businesses best.
Most GRC software is subscription-priced based on user numbers and modules. Small and medium businesses typically pay a tiered monthly or annual fee, while larger organisations work from a custom quote. Sentrient includes courses, templates and support in its subscription rather than charging for them separately.
You can start that way, and most organisations do. The problems appear at audit time: no audit trail, no automated reminders, no version control, and no way to prove who acknowledged what and when. GRC software exists to close exactly those gaps.
In practice the terms are used interchangeably. People searching for software are usually comparing tools and features, while a GRC system describes the connected framework an organisation runs. Sentrient provides both: the software and the framework to run it.
Match the tool to your obligations. Check it covers training, policies, incidents, risks and audits in one place, includes Australian legal content, integrates with your HRIS and payroll, and can be rolled out without a long IT project.
Cloud-based GRC software like Sentrient can be deployed in minutes and fully rolled out within days. Pre-loaded courses, policy templates and workflows mean there's no build phase and minimal IT involvement.
Sentrient does. It comes with legally endorsed Australian compliance training courses and policy templates written for local law and kept current as legislation changes.
No, and it shouldn't. GRC software removes the administration: chasing completions, filing records, building reports. That frees whoever owns compliance, whether that's a dedicated officer or an HR manager wearing the hat, to focus on judgement calls the software can't make.
Sentrient is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 and backed by an ongoing cybersecurity program.
Yes. Sentrient connects with your HRIS, payroll and single sign-on, including the Sentrient HR system, so staff records flow through automatically and nothing is entered twice.
An Australian-based team handles onboarding, training and ongoing account management. Support doesn't drop off after the sale, which is a common complaint with overseas GRC platforms.
