Vivantio GRC service management — risk register view

Organizations managing compliance and risk workflows with Vivantio

Structured GRC operations

Risk management with a complete audit trail.

Vivantio gives GRC teams the structured workflows, accountability and reporting that compliance functions need — without the complexity of heavyweight dedicated GRC platforms.

Risk register & intake workflows

A structured risk register. Not a spreadsheet with a shared edit link.

Vivantio gives GRC teams a structured intake process for risk items — with configurable forms for risk type, likelihood, impact and treatment — owned by a named individual, tracked against agreed timelines and reviewed on a defined schedule.

  • Configurable risk intake forms per risk category
  • Ownership, treatment and review date tracking
  • Status dashboard across all active risks

Compliance workflow management

Compliance actions tracked. Deadlines met. Evidence stored.

  • Structured compliance action workflows with due dates
  • Complete activity log per compliance item
  • Automated reminders before deadlines

Getting GRC live on Vivantio

Structured compliance. Without enterprise GRC complexity.

Vivantio is not a heavyweight dedicated GRC platform. It's a flexible service management platform that GRC teams configure around their own risk categories, compliance frameworks and working practices.

Configured around your compliance framework

A consultant builds Vivantio around your specific risk categories, compliance obligations and team structure — not a generic GRC template.

Share a platform with IT and Facilities

GRC can share the same platform as IT, HR and Facilities — each with completely separate workspaces — on one platform licence.

★★★★★We evaluated 8 different vendors, and Vivantio was our number one choice. It's full-featured, has all the solutions we needed in one place.G2 Review · Verified User

Support that knows your setup

Vivantio support engineers know your configuration — they're not reading from a script. When compliance questions arise, they understand the context.

★★★★★I've worked in IT for 35 years, and I cannot think of another vendor that gets support so right, so often.G2 Review · IT Professional
Common questions

GRC software: what compliance teams ask us

What is GRC software?

GRC software (governance, risk and compliance software) helps organizations manage risk registers, compliance workflows and audit processes in a structured, documented way. It provides a central record of risk items, their status, ownership and treatment, and maintains a full audit trail for internal and external review.

Is Vivantio a dedicated GRC platform?

No. Vivantio is a service management platform — not a specialist GRC tool like Archer or ServiceNow GRC. It provides the structured workflows, audit trails and reporting that GRC teams need, configured around their risk and compliance processes. Teams that need deep dedicated GRC capabilities (formal risk quantification models, regulatory reporting automation) should evaluate specialist tools. Teams that need structured process management with an audit trail often find Vivantio sufficient.

Does Vivantio maintain an audit trail for compliance purposes?

Yes. Every action taken in Vivantio is logged with a timestamp and user record — creating a complete, immutable audit trail. This is useful for demonstrating compliance to auditors, regulators or internal governance functions.

Can GRC teams use Vivantio independently of IT?

Yes. GRC teams can operate a completely independent workspace on Vivantio — with their own forms, workflows and reporting — without any IT involvement. If IT already uses Vivantio, GRC can be added as a separate team sharing the underlying platform.
