Governance, Risk, & Compliance.

GRC services help an organisation set up and operate governance, risk management and compliance as one program. Illumia Solutions designs that program, deploys the OpenGRC platform to manage risks, controls, policies and audits, maps your controls to frameworks such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001, and keeps evidence current so audits stop being a scramble.

Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is the combined practice of setting policies and accountability (governance), identifying and reducing threats to the business (risk management), and proving that you meet laws, regulations and standards (compliance). A GRC program connects all three so decisions, controls and audit evidence live in one place.

We design your GRC program, deploy and configure the OpenGRC platform, build your risk register and policy library, map controls to the frameworks you must meet, automate assessments and evidence collection, and support you through internal and external audits.

OpenGRC is an open-source governance, risk and compliance platform for managing risks, controls, policies, audits and remediation in one system. Because it is open source there are no per-user licence fees, and it can be self-hosted so compliance data stays under your control.

We support programs for PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA, and can map controls to other frameworks your regulators, customers or donors require. Our team holds CISA, CISSP and CEH certifications.

Yes. We delivered PCI DSS SAQ D Level 2 attestation on the first attempt for a 17-location grocery chain in Illinois, including all policies, procedures, network diagrams and compliance records, with zero business disruption. We have also built audit-ready security programs with Plan of Action & Milestones tracking for a Philippine microfinance institution.

Controls are only as good as the evidence behind them. We connect GRC to technical tools such as Wazuh SIEM, vulnerability scanning and WAF reporting, so control status reflects what is actually happening in your environment rather than a once-a-year spreadsheet.
