The resulting solution for Pets at Home has dramatically increased our productivity through automation, with examples including suggesting wording for review rather than time intensive manual creation.
I highly recommend CoreStream GRC for its tailored, AI-powered GRC solutions.

CoreStream GRC met all of our must-haves. The feedback was that it was one of the most robust responses we received.
The previous tool didn’t meet my expectations. From day one, I felt the need for change.
But with CoreStream? Very happy, very happy.

Pricing that works for your business
- Unlimited licenses for no extra cost: we do not charge per user, we encourage adoption across your business.
- No wasted spend: your subscription payment doesn’t begin until promotion to UAT. That gives you the full period from contract signing to UAT at no additional cost, keeping us fully incentivized to deliver a fast, high‑quality implementation.
- Full coverage: in addition to licenses, subscription covers hosting (from existing supported locations), maintenance and 2nd/3rd line support.
- POCs and sandbox trials available: before you invest with us, we want to ensure you’re comfortable. Benefit from tangible proof of concepts and trials of the system, to test our software for complex use cases.
- Full functionality available from the lowest tier: we don’t charge users for our standard features and functionality, we want everyone to be equipped from day 1.
- Integrated GRC: benefit from bundle discounting when you buy more than 1 solution, the more you integrate, the greater the value.
Choose the solutions you need
CoreStream GRC implementation works like building blocks. Start with one solution or deploy multiple in parallel for true integrated GRC and bundle pricing discounts. Common starting points include:
- Enterprise risk management (ERM): risk registers, KRIs, approvals, board reporting.
- Controls and compliance: control libraries, testing, evidence capture, audit trail.
- Policy management: drafting, approvals, attestations, reviews, and reminders.
- Third-party risk: onboarding, due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and issue tracking.
- Audit and action management: audit plans, findings, remediation, and reporting.
- Speak up: intake, triage, investigations, and case reporting.
- Employee declarations: conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality, investigations and reporting.
- Need something else? We can build around your process. If you can describe it, we can configure it!
Implementation services that flex to your needs
Why does the fee and days change by tier? It comes down to customization. The more you want tailored, the more time we spend on configuration, validation, and stakeholder sign-off. That is why the implementation fee increases with each tier and so do the implementation days.
Typical implementation activities include:
- Discovery workshops and success criteria
- Configuration of workflows, forms, and dashboards
- Role and permission setup
- Data migration planning and import
- Testing and iteration with your team
- Go-live support and handover
Integrations to enable your full GRC ecosystem adoption
Integrations are priced separately because effort varies by system, data model, and security requirements. We can integrate with industry tools like DocuSign and with custom internal systems via APIs.
Common integration patterns include:
- Single sign-on and identity management
- Document and e-signature workflows
- HR, finance, or procurement data feeds
- Third-party data providers feeding into specific workflow stages
Optional services to ensure you’re happy and supported with your GRC platform
If you want extra support beyond the implementation package, we can provide training and consulting as needed.
Service days are typically purchased to run alongside your subscription term, so delivery and support stay aligned to the same period.

FAQ on CoreStream GRC pricing
GRC pricing varies a lot depending on the size of your organisation, which modules you need (risk, controls, audit, third-party, compliance), how many users you have, and how much implementation support is involved.
At the low end, SMB tools can start under £100/month for basic or niche functionality. Mid-market and enterprise platforms more commonly land in the £20,000–£30,000+ per year range, depending on scope, modules, and rollout complexity.
For example, SureCloud lists packages from £15,000 per year, with enterprise packages from £30,000 per year. ServiceNow typically prices GRC via custom quotes based on your requirements. Model Office lists a plan at £625/month and indicates other pricing varies. CoreStream GRC typically ranges from £18,000–£25,000+ per year (or $24,500–$34,000+ per year), depending on what you need and how complex your rollout is. Platforms like Vanta don’t publish pricing publicly and usually provide it via demo and custom quote.
Most GRC software costs come down to:
Pricing model: per-user licensing vs platform or package pricing
Modules and scope: risk management, audit management, compliance management, third-party risk, privacy, resilience, and more
Implementation and onboarding: configuration, integrations, data migration, training
Support and hosting requirements: regions, environments, and service levels
Your subscription payment does not begin until promotion to UAT. That means you get the full period from contract signing to UAT at no additional cost, and it keeps us incentivized to deliver a fast, high-quality implementation.
Implementation is often scoped separately across the industry because effort depends on complexity (use cases, workflows, integrations, migration, and training). With CoreStream GRC, the key difference is that your subscription does not start until UAT, so you are not paying subscription fees while implementation is still underway.
Common “surprise” costs across the market include:
1. Per-user expansion fees when adoption grows
2. Extra charges for modules you assumed were included
3. Paid upgrades to unlock reporting or workflow features
4. Integration and migration work that was not scoped upfront
Platforms like CoreStream GRC avoids the biggest one by design: no per-user licensing, so adoption does not trigger a licensing bill later.
Vanta and Drata are commonly bought for compliance automation (SOC 2, ISO 27001 readiness) and tend to price around packaging, scope, and scaling factors. CoreStream GRC is positioned as a broader GRC platform for running multi-solution programs across risk, compliance, audit, and third-party workflows, with unlimited users and subscription starting at UAT.
The right choice depends on whether you need a point platform for security compliance automation, or an integrated GRC platform for enterprise governance and assurance.
To price it properly, GRC companies typically need:
Which solutions you want first (risk, compliance, audit, third-party risk, resilience, privacy)
Integration needs (SSO, ticketing, evidence sources, data flows)
Hosting requirements
Timeline and rollout approach (pilot vs enterprise rollout)
If you are running GRC across multiple teams, CoreStream GRC is usually worth it because the pricing model removes the biggest “value killers” in GRC: per-user fees, paying subscription during implementation, and paying extra for basic functionality later. You get unlimited licenses, full standard functionality from the lowest tier, and subscription billing only starts at UAT. That means adoption and rollout speed do not quietly double your total cost.
CoreStream GRC typically sits in the mid-market to enterprise range at £18,000–£25,000+ / $24,500–$34,000+ per year depending on scope and rollout complexity. Whether that is “expensive” depends on what you compare it to:
If you compare it to lightweight tools built for a single framework or small teams, yes, it will be higher.
If you compare it to enterprise platforms that charge per user, per module, and add paid feature gates, it often comes out competitive, especially once adoption expands.
The cleanest justification is to tie platform cost to outcomes leadership actually cares about: reducing audit prep time and evidence chasing, producing defensible audit trails and approvals, lowering the chance of repeat findings, and cutting duplicated work across teams.
With CoreStream GRC specifically, unlimited licenses matter because you can roll the platform out to the people who own the controls without triggering a licensing spike, which is usually where the “ROI story” falls apart.
Because the platform is not the hard part, your program is. Service costs cover the work needed to make the system fit how your business actually runs GRC, like configuring workflows and reporting, handling integrations (SSO, ticketing, evidence sources, document systems), migrating and cleaning data, training teams across lines of defense, and designing governance so ownership and escalation are clear.
That is also why many vendors avoid a single fixed price: the subscription is the product, and services are what make it work properly in your environment.
