Turn a requirement into accountable work.
Test how a regulatory source becomes an obligation, assessment, control change, evidence request, approval and retained audit history.
Explore the DORA operating modelFounding Partner Programme
Bring the hard workflow. Help shape the operating model.
A structured product-collaboration programme for compliance, risk, audit and consultancy practitioners prepared to test how regulatory change becomes controlled, accountable work.
NeoGRC is in early application development. The programme uses real operating questions and representative data to improve the product without presenting participants as customers or published references.

Who should apply
Participants with a concrete operating problem.
The strongest applications are anchored in a workflow that has identifiable owners, inputs, decisions and outputs—not a general request for early access.
Financial services and ICT risk teams
Operationalising DORA obligations, incidents, third-party oversight or resilience evidence.
GRC and compliance consultancies
Delivering repeatable work across clients while preserving separate access, records and accountability.
Enterprise compliance and risk teams
Connecting overlapping EU obligations to risks, controls, policies, evidence and accountable owners.
Internal audit and assurance practitioners
Testing planning, fieldwork, review, findings, remediation evidence and independent closure.
A useful starting scope
Bring one workflow that can be followed end to end.
A bounded workflow makes validation specific. It gives both teams a clear way to identify where the product model is accurate, where it creates friction and what should change.
Regulatory change review
Source capture, applicability, impact analysis, human decision, controlled deployment and change history.
Obligation-to-control mapping
Requirements, risks, policies, controls, evidence, ownership and gaps in one traceable chain.
Risk treatment
Risk assessment, treatment choice, action ownership, approval, monitoring and acceptance history.
Audit finding closure
Finding, management response, remediation evidence, independent validation and final closure decision.
Multi-client delivery
Reusable consultancy methodology, controlled client variation, separate environments and portfolio oversight.
After you apply
What happens after you apply to the programme?
Progression depends on fit and useful collaboration. Participation does not promise discounts, exclusivity or deployment.
Confirm the operating challenge, the practitioners involved and whether the programme is the right route.
Document the current workflow, its hand-offs, source material and the accountable outcome that must improve.
Review the records, relationships, roles, approvals and evidence needed to represent the work accurately.
Walk the proposed workflow with representative, minimised or otherwise agreed information.
Record what works, what creates friction, what is missing and which findings should affect the product direction.
If the workflow proves useful, assess a bounded evaluation or deployment separately, with its own scope and terms.
What the work produces
Concrete findings, not an informal feature wishlist.
The exact artefacts depend on scope. The programme is designed to make assumptions, decisions and product responses visible to both teams.
Workflow definition
Actors, starting records, hand-offs, approval points, evidence and the outcome the workflow must preserve.
Information model review
The relationships between obligations, risks, controls, policies, actions, evidence and assurance records.
Control and boundary findings
Roles, access expectations, client isolation needs, human-review controls and records that must remain attributable.
Review NeoGRC security boundariesProduct response
A structured view of validated behaviour, unresolved questions, rejected assumptions and changes considered for the roadmap.
Participants receive
- Direct working sessions with the product team
- Influence over relevant workflow design
- Early validation of applicable product structures
- A clear record of feedback and product response
NeoGRC expects
- A specific regulatory or GRC workflow
- Access to accountable practitioners
- Candid, structured feedback
- Respect for agreed confidentiality and boundaries
Programme questions
What participation does—and does not—mean.
NeoGRC uses clear boundaries because early product collaboration is different from a customer reference, certification or production commitment.
What is the NeoGRC Founding Partner Programme?
It is a structured product-validation programme for compliance, risk, audit and consultancy practitioners who can bring a specific operating workflow. Participants work directly with NeoGRC to test whether product structures reflect the decisions, evidence and accountability required in practice.
Is the programme only for GRC consultancies?
No. GRC consultancies, regulated organisations and enterprise teams may be suitable. Consultancies are especially relevant when the workflow involves repeatable delivery across isolated client environments, while enterprise participants may focus on one organisation's regulatory or assurance model.
Does participation require production data?
No. Initial discovery and validation can use representative, minimised or appropriately bounded information. Any use of production information or access to a live environment requires a separate written agreement and agreed security controls.
Does becoming a founding partner guarantee product features or deployment?
No. Feedback informs product decisions, but participation does not guarantee that every request will be built, create exclusivity or commit either party to deployment. Any commercial evaluation is discussed separately after validation.
What should we bring to the first conversation?
Bring one concrete workflow, the people responsible for its decisions, the records or evidence it produces and the point where the current process becomes difficult to operate or defend. Sensitive documents are not required for the initial conversation.
Confidentiality and data boundaries are agreed first.
Working sessions use representative, minimised or appropriately controlled information. Production access and customer deployment require separate written agreement.
