Assura

A GRC and risk management platform for running security assessments, quantifying risk, and generating compliance reporting, aimed at teams who want to manage a security programme without running a full consulting engagement for every measurement cycle.

What It Is

Assura describes itself as one platform for a whole security programme. Rather than running assessments as one-off spreadsheets or consulting deliverables, it gives a team a persistent place to measure their posture against a chosen framework, track remediation, and produce evidence for auditors or customers on an ongoing basis.

Assura positions the platform as an alternative to parts of a traditional consulting engagement, handling the measurement and reporting work that would otherwise consume consulting hours, while noting that consultants still matter for bespoke advice.

Key Features

Framework Assessments

Support for 20 compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS.

Live Integration

Connectors to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS and GitHub for continuous, rather than point-in-time, monitoring.

Risk Quantification

Converts identified security gaps into estimated financial exposure, to support prioritisation and budget conversations.

Vendor Management

Supplier risk assessment through security questionnaires, for teams that need to track third-party exposure.

Reporting & Trust

Executive dashboards, audit evidence sharing, and public-facing trust pages for demonstrating posture to customers and partners.

Who It Is Aimed At

Assura lists five customer segments: startups, SMEs, mid-market organisations, enterprises, and consultancies looking to run assessments for their own clients.
