What you get
The full platform from day one, not a stripped-down demo
Your trial workspace is the same RiskWatch instance paid customers run on. No feature gates, no usage caps, no “upgrade to unlock” nag screens. Eight capabilities, all live the moment your activation link arrives.
Assessment library
Pre-built questionnaires for IT risk, vendor risk, internal control, physical security, business continuity, and privacy. Edit any question, add your own.
40+ framework libraries
ISO 27001 + 27002, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS v4, NIST CSF 2.0 + 800-53 r5 + 800-171 r3, CMMC, NYDFS, GDPR, CCPA, SOX, NERC CIP, all loaded.
Cross-mapping engine
Answer one control once, see how it satisfies ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and 800-53 in parallel. Stop re-collecting evidence for each audit.
Vendor risk portal
Send SIG / CAIQ-aligned questionnaires to vendors during the trial. Track responses, attestations, and renewal calendars in one place.
Evidence vault
Drag-and-drop evidence storage with versioning. Map artifacts to controls, surveys, and frameworks in a click. Audit-ready exports built in.
Risk dashboards
Heatmaps, trend lines, and framework-readiness scoring out of the box. Filter by department, business unit, or geography. Board-ready exports.
Role-based access
Invite your full team during the trial, GRC, IT, compliance, process owners. Read-only reviewers, scoped editors, full admins, all configurable.
Integrations
SSO via Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace. REST API + webhooks. Jira, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Teams connectors live in the trial environment.
Pre-built libraries
Five flagship frameworks ready to run on day one
Most teams arrive with one of these five frameworks at the top of the audit calendar. Each library ships with control text, implementation guidance, evidence prompts, and survey templates pre-mapped, you import scope, you don’t build the framework.
Sample data
Pre-populated workspace so you can evaluate before importing
We seed your trial workspace with a fictional sample organization, a vendor list, and a starter evidence library. Walk the workflows end-to-end with sample data, then import your own when you’re ready, no re-onboarding, no migration tax.
- Pre-populated sample org
A 200-employee SaaS company with three business units, a department tree, an asset register, and an executive risk owner pre-modeled.
- Demo questionnaires
Six survey templates (IT risk, vendor due diligence, physical security, BCP, HIPAA risk analysis, ISO 27001 internal audit) ready to run.
- Mock vendor list
A 25-vendor portfolio with assigned tiers, sample SIG / CAIQ responses, and SOC 2 + ISO 27001 attestation evidence on file.
- Demo evidence
Sample policies, screenshots, audit reports, and BAA templates already mapped to control IDs, use them as patterns for your own.
White-glove activation
Included in your trial, not a paid upgrade
A RiskWatch implementation specialist walks your team through setup. Optional, but most teams take it. Average end-to-end activation runs about 90 minutes spread across four touch-points during the first week of your trial.
Kickoff call
30-minute scoping call with your trial specialist. Confirm frameworks in scope, the organization shape (HQ + business units + entities), and which audits or buyer questionnaires are on the calendar.
30 min · day 1
Library + scope config
We load the right framework libraries (one or many), tune the question set to your environment, and map your organization tree. You’ll log in to a workspace that already looks like yours.
Async · day 1–2
First assessment setup
Live working session with the GRC owner. Launch your first real survey, assign respondents, attach starter evidence. By the end of the call you have a working assessment in flight.
45 min · day 3–5
Team training
Group walkthrough for the GRC, IT-security, and compliance leads on dashboards, cross-mapping, vendor module, and evidence vault. Recording shared so the rest of the team can self-onboard.
30 min · day 5–7
After 30 days
Pricing transparency, and no auto-bill at trial end
We never default-convert a trial to a paid subscription. Because we don’t collect a credit card on signup, there’s nothing to auto-charge. When day 30 ends, your account team sends a contract sized to your usage, number of business units, framework count, vendor portfolio size, evidence volume, and you compare it against the value you got from the trial.
You have three paths: continue to a paid subscription (your data migrates with no re-onboarding), extend the trial if your audit timing slipped or stakeholder review needs more cycles, or close the workspace and we export your data on request. No retention games, no data hostage, no surprise renewals.
Why try RiskWatch
Three reasons buyers pick the trial over a slide deck
Three decades and 500+ customers behind the survey-based methodology. RiskWatch has built specialized risk and compliance assessment software since 1993. The platform was built around survey-based risk scoring, quantified questionnaires that produce defensible answers, not the control-mapping-only approach most newer GRC SaaS vendors take. That difference shows up the first time an auditor asks “how did you arrive at that risk rating?” and you have a sourced response, not a hand-wave.
Multi-framework by default, not a single-framework SaaS bolted to others. Most GRC SaaS started as a single-framework tool (SOC 2, or ISO, or HIPAA) and grew sideways through acquisitions or add-ons that don’t share a control library. RiskWatch ships with a unified Object Control Group library where ISO 27001 A-controls, SOC 2 TSC, NIST 800-53, and HIPAA safeguards cross-map to the same evidence and the same survey answers. Answer once, satisfy multiple auditors.
White-glove activation included, not a self-serve maze. The newer self-serve GRC tools save a quarter on professional services and pass the implementation risk back to you. RiskWatch includes implementation specialists in the trial itself, so the workspace you log in to on day one already reflects your scope, your business units, and your audit calendar. You skip the four-week ramp most self-serve platforms quietly require to get to the first useful output.
Who it’s for
Three buyer profiles run the trial differently
CISO / Risk Director
Comparing 3–5 GRC vendors against an enterprise risk register, multi-framework scope, and a board-level risk-reporting cadence. Needs to validate the cross-mapping engine and the survey-based methodology before short-listing.
Outcome · Walk a real internal-control assessment + cross-map to ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST 800-53 inside 30 days, without sitting through three vendor demos.
Compliance Manager
Sitting on a stack of spreadsheets, an aging GRC tool, and a separate vendor-questionnaire app. Wants to consolidate but can’t commit to a paid migration without proving the platform handles the actual workflow.
Outcome · Migrate one business unit, one framework, and a 25-vendor portfolio during the trial, prove consolidation works, then expand on a paid contract.
Engineering Lead
Series B/C SaaS with no full-time GRC headcount, a fall SOC 2 Type II audit on the calendar, and ISO 27001 needed for an enterprise deal. Needs framework libraries, evidence collection, and audit prep without hiring.
Outcome · Run the SOC 2 readiness gap analysis + start ISO 27001 cross-mapping inside the trial, walk into the audit window with the SoA and gap report already drafted.
