GRC · Governance, Risk & Compliance
Compliance, plainly stated.
ArborGRC replaces Excel-based compliance with a proper platform — ISO 27001, UAE-IA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and PDPL in one briefing. Every artefact round-trips to Excel. Every audit leaves a WORM-sealed trail.

Your Excel survives.
Most GRC platforms demand a clean break. You upload a CSV, lose your formatting, and spend a month rebuilding what you had. Your team resents the tool before it's even deployed.
ArborGRC treats Excel as a first-class citizen. Import your existing risk register, policy list, or control spreadsheet — and the platform maps it automatically. Export it back to the same layout your auditors expect.
Round-trip fidelity is a contractual guarantee, not a marketing promise. Every import and export is covered by integration tests that run on every commit.
Round-trip flow
ArborGRC dashboardGrounded. Cited. Calibrated.
ArborGRC Copilot is powered by Azure OpenAI Service and grounded entirely in your live controls, policies, and evidence. It doesn't hallucinate from generic training data — it reads your actual SoA, your live risk register, your uploaded evidence artefacts.
Every answer links back to source. Ask what controls cover a specific risk and Copilot returns citations — not paragraphs from the internet.

WORM-sealed evidence
Azure Blob immutable policy ensures audit evidence cannot be modified or deleted after upload — a hard requirement for regulatory submissions.

Everything you'd ask.
How is this different from Vanta or Drata?+
Vanta and Drata target US SaaS startups chasing SOC 2 quickly. ArborGRC is built for mid-market companies in the UAE and GCC that need multi-framework coverage (UAE-IA, ADHICS, PDPL, ISO 27001) plus Arabic/RTL support, UAE data residency, and an Excel-first workflow that doesn't abandon existing compliance artefacts.
Do you support UAE-IA and ADHICS?+
Yes. Both UAE-IA v1.1 and ADHICS v2 are first-class frameworks with full control mapping, SoA generation, and regulatory submission pack exports. UAE-IA is a core differentiator — no major global GRC vendor has native UAE-IA support.
Can I import my existing Excel compliance documents?+
That's the point. ArborGRC ingests your existing Excel risk registers, policy lists, and control spreadsheets via SheetJS import. Every artefact round-trips back to Excel with 100% fidelity. Your existing workflows continue to work on day one.
What's your hosting and data residency story?+
Azure-only. UAE North primary, UAE Central DR. All compute runs in Azure Container Apps. Storage is Azure Blob with immutable policies. No data ever leaves the UAE cluster unless you explicitly configure replication. Secrets managed by Azure Key Vault.
How does pricing work?+
Per-module licensing in AED and USD tiers. You pay for the modules you activate — no forced bundles. The Pilot tier is free for the first 3 customers for 60 days. Growth pricing will be published when Stage 2 launches.
When can I start?+
The platform is in private pilot with the first UAE customer cohort. Book a demo and we'll walk you through a live environment, map your existing Excel files, and get you to first framework within 10 minutes.
Ready to close the binder?
Book a 30-minute demo. We'll import one of your existing Excel files and walk you through your first framework.
