OpenGRC vs Probo

OpenGRC is a web application for cyber governance, risk and compliance aimed at small and midsized businesses and teams. It covers risk management, controls and implementations, audits, vendor management, incident response and project management. Audit workflows handle evidence requests, progress tracking and report generation. Vendor assessments can use a dedicated portal, customizable questionnaires and weighted scoring. Listed frameworks include NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC and PCI DSS. The platform has no third-party integrations built in, but provides a REST API; the API limit is 60 requests per minute per user, or per IP for unauthenticated requests. Enterprise includes AI risk assessments, automated vendor survey responses and AI gap assessments. The free Community edition is self-hosted and requires a web server and database server. Enterprise Basic costs $4,500 per year, while Enterprise Enhanced costs $7,500 per year. Hosted plans state a 99.5% monthly uptime commitment and say customer data is not used to train AI models.

Probo is an open-source governance, risk, and compliance platform for engineering, security, and compliance teams. It supports control mapping, evidence collection, risk assessments, remediation workflows, and vendor risk management across frameworks including SOC 3, CCPA, CASA, ISO 27001, FERPA, SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2, ISO 42001, GDPR, ISO 27701, and HIPAA. Its evidence tools automate collection, updates, and approvals. Access Review gathers accounts from connected systems, identifies risky access, records decisions, and can export completed campaigns as PDF evidence. The Compliance Portal lets prospects request access, sign NDAs, and download watermarked security documents; the Employee Portal supports policy signatures, approvals, laptop enrollment, and provisioning through identity providers. Probo offers cloud and self-hosted deployment, including Docker Compose and Kubernetes. The supplied single-host Docker Compose setup is not high availability and is intended for evaluation, internal deployments, or small installations that can accept a single-host failure.
