Our goal, vision and mission are not a poster on the wall. They decide which features we build and which we do not. Our goal Enable organisations to build trust and resilience for sustainable success. Trust does not come from documents. It comes from decisions that stay traceable. That is why we keep risks, controls, measures and contracts on one shared data foundation instead of managing them in separate tools. One data foundation for every GRC discipline Every assessment with evidence and history Ready to answer supervisors and auditors Our vision Be the world’s leading and most trusted partner for integrated management solutions. Trustworthiness cannot be claimed, it shows over years. Our clients stay because releases are predictable, because the people they talk to master the domain themselves, and because we hold ourselves to the same standards we map for them. Certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27701 Our own entities instead of pure sales partners A roadmap discussed openly with our community Our mission Deliver excellent and innovative software for GRC, BPM and CLM. Product management and engineering are in house, not with suppliers. Artificial intelligence is part of the architecture and not a button at the edge, from support inside the modules to a dedicated module for AI governance. GRC, BPM and CLM on one platform Engineering and product management in house An AI-native architecture instead of retrofitted features > “At Swiss GRC our dedicated team of experts drives technological innovation in the GRC field. Together we set new standards for governance, risk and compliance.” ![Besfort Kuqi](https://swissgrc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Bes_klein_.png) **Besfort Kuqi***Founder & CEO, Swiss GRC AG* *Global Reach, Local Excellence* The more global our reach, the more local characteristics and requirements count. That is why we work with our own entities in Europe, the Middle East and Asia rather than through a sales network. Our history ## The idea is older than the company. A security management solution grew into a complete GRC platform over the years. Every year is clickable. Origins 1989 to 2012 Build up 2016 to 2020 Growth 2022 to today **1989***Origins*Where the idea comes from 1. #### Swiss Infosec AG is founded Reto Zbinden, a lawyer and today the chair of our board of directors, founds Swiss Infosec AG. Its consulting practice is where the idea behind the later toolbox comes from. **1993***Origins*The first tool of our own 1. #### The ISMS tool is developed A prototype for managing information security is built because no solution on the market meets the requirements. The first version goes live the same year. **2005***Origins*From tool to product 1. #### ISMS Toolbox The tool is rebuilt as a web application. For the first time organisations run their security management themselves, without a consulting mandate in the background. **2012***Origins*From security to GRC 1. #### GRC Toolbox v1 Modules such as ICS, ERM and policy management are added. The security management solution becomes a complete GRC solution. **2016***Build up*The year we were founded 1. #### Swiss GRC AG is founded Swiss GRC AG is founded to drive the development of the GRC software consistently: our own team, our own roadmap, our own responsibility. Contract management is added as a new module. **2017***Build up*From clients to a community 1. #### The first SWISS GRC DAY The first SWISS GRC DAY takes place under the motto where governance, risk and compliance meet for success. The event becomes the annual meeting point for our clients, partners and prospects. **2019***Build up*Training our own talent 1. #### Swiss GRC AG becomes a training company We are approved to train software developers and ICT specialists under the Swiss apprenticeship system. Since then we train professionals ourselves instead of only recruiting them. **2020***Build up*Third generation 1. #### GRC Toolbox v3 The third generation of the platform is released. Predefined standard reports and dashboards shorten the path from data entry to insight. **2022***Growth*Proving our own standards 1. #### Triple ISO certification Certification to ISO 27001 for the ISMS, ISO 27017 for the cloud and ISO 27701 for privacy. We hold ourselves to the standards we map for our clients. **2024***Growth*Three milestones 1. #### Swiss GRC Germany GmbH An entity of our own for the German market, with our own team instead of sales partners. 2. #### Strong Contender in the SPARK Matrix Quadrant Knowledge Solutions positions Swiss GRC in the GRC platforms category. 3. #### Top Company seal The kununu seal is based on the ratings of our own employees. **2025***Growth*International recognition 1. #### GRC Product of the Year At the Risk Technology Awards 2025 by Risk.net, Swiss GRC is named GRC Product of the Year, against the established global vendors. 2. #### Leader in the 2025 SPARK Matrix QKS Group positions Swiss GRC as a Leader, for GRC platforms and for IT risk management. **2026***Growth*Where we stand today 1. #### An AI-native platform Artificial intelligence becomes part of the architecture rather than an add-on at the edge: from support inside the modules to a dedicated module for AI governance and AI risk management.
