OpenGRC vs Strike Graph

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.
