Get started with GovernIT: A flexible, low-code GRC solution
GovernIT is a flexible GRC solution built on ManageEngine AppCreator. It helps you manage policies, assess risks, and ensure compliance with ease. This guide walks you through its key features to help you maximize its value for your organization.
Governance
GovernIT’s governance module makes it easy to view and manage all policy data from a centralized dashboard. Organizations can track KPIs, monitor policy exceptions, and access built-in reports for instant insights. With modules to track events and objectives, the app simplifies GRC meeting scheduling and action item management, helping teams stay accountable and compliant. Together, these features empower organizations to drive more effective governance with greater visibility, control, and efficiency.
Manage Policies
GovernIT enables you to manage all organizational policies through a centralized interface. Users can easily create, update, and monitor policies with complete visibility and control. The system highlights policy exceptions by department, indicating their priority level, and identifying the relevant policy approver. This enables teams to quickly address compliance gaps, streamline approvals, and ensure that policy adherence remains consistent across the organization.
Events
The Events module in GovernIT helps users manage all GRC meetings across the organization. It captures key details of the meetings like date, location, priority, and agenda. After the meeting, users can log minutes, attendee information, and more. This serves as a centralized hub for all GRC meeting records. A built-in calendar report also enables users to reserve dates and check location availability in advance.
Objectives tracking
Designed to drive follow-ups, this module captures and tracks all action items from GRC meetings. After each meeting, the designated owner fills out a form with key details like the objective description, target date, status, priority, and more. The data flows into the Objective Tracking Report, providing a centralized view of all actions and their progress. This promotes accountability, enables timely follow-ups, and keeps stakeholders informed on the status of organizational objectives.
Risk
Gain complete control of your organization’s risk management process with GovernIT. Easily track and monitor risks by severity, category, and department through a streamlined dashboard. The Risk Assessment section enables precise evaluation and prioritization of risks across teams, supporting proactive decision-making and stronger control over potential threats.
Risk register
Track, assess, and manage risks effectively with a centralized risk register that captures key metrics such as title, description, affected entity, category, and severity of all identified risks. Once a risk is recorded, the organization can perform a risk vulnerability assessment to better understand its impact. The assessment includes a CVSS base score, ranging from 0 to 10, where a higher score indicates a more critical risk.
Risk frameworks
Classify and evaluate risks consistently with GovernIT’s built-in standardized risk framework. Risks can be categorized by name, number, description, and entity class, enhancing transparency and traceability. This structured approach not only improves overall risk visibility but also strengthens compliance with regulatory requirements and internal governance standards.
Risk assessment
Gain deeper insight into organizational risks with GovernIT’s structured Risk assessment report. The assessment report is divided into two parts: inherent risk and residual risk. Inherent risk reflects the potential impact and likelihood of a risk occurring without any controls in place. Residual risk represents the remaining level of risk after mitigation strategies or controls have been applied. This structured analysis supports better decision-making and enables proactive measures to prevent risks from escalating into critical issues.
Compliance
Bring structure and clarity to your compliance requirements. A centralized dashboard helps you visualize compliance requirements, overall compliance, and inactive controls, in one place, making it easier to manage and adapt to changes. The assessment module helps evaluate audit and regulatory readiness and identify compliance gaps efficiently.
Authority documents
The authority documents report contains a collection of compliance clauses that the organization should adhere to. Each record includes key details such as the name, status, compliance score, version, and category, among other relevant data. This centralized repository helps ensure that all regulatory and policy requirements are clearly documented, tracked, and aligned with the organization’s compliance efforts.
Citations
The Citations module contains comprehensive citation reports that list various compliance frameworks such as CCPA, ECPA, FedRAMP, the GDPR, and others. Each citation includes key information like compliance status, score, description, and related details. The module also features a control count report and an overall compliance summary, displaying a clear view of the organization’s alignment with regulatory requirements. This helps teams monitor compliance performance and take corrective actions proactively.
Controls
Controls refer to the mitigation measures implemented to reduce the impact of identified risks, policy exceptions, and related issues. The Controls module serves as a centralized repository for all controls associated with organizational policies and risks. It includes options to evaluate both the design and operational effectiveness of each control. To ensure full compliance, organizations are also required to upload supporting evidence for the controls in place.
Boosting GRC efficiency with AppCreator
AppCreator transforms GRC management by automating GRC workflows, enforcing policy controls, and centralizing risk and compliance data. It reduces manual effort, ensures real-time visibility, and helps teams stay aligned with regulatory standards. Prebuilt dashboards provide instant access to key GRC data, reducing the time needed to gather evidence and prepare audit reports. This helps organizations respond faster to audits, track issues efficiently, and maintain a strong compliance posture with less overhead.
Compliance without compromise
GovernIT unifies governance, risk, and compliance processes into one powerful application. From real-time policy tracking and streamlined GRC meeting management to risk assessment and a centralized repository for compliance controls, GovernIT delivers instant insights and full visibility. These integrated capabilities help organizations stay accountable, audit-ready, and in control without the complexity of managing multiple disconnected systems.
