This is CoreStream GRC: the platform that truly works for you.

Michael Rasmussen, the Godfather of GRC, who coined the term GRC back at Forrester, described us as “the GRC player that’s flying under the radar but delivering on some of the most complex third party risk, internal control, and risk management projects for major corporations.” We thought it was time to move beyond being GRC’s best kept secret, and tell our story.

That’s why we made this video.

It’s a short, sharp look at who we are, what we believe, and how we’re changing the game for Governance, Risk, and Compliance professionals and their teams.

Traditional GRC platforms have long been a source of frustration for enterprises. They’re often rigid, overly complex, and built around vendor limitations, not client needs. At CoreStream GRC, our founders saw the problem firsthand as Deloitte consultants and decided to do something about it.

The CoreStream GRC origin story: built by GRC experts who knew there had to be a better way

Founded in 2006 by two brothers working at a Big Four firm, CoreStream GRC was born out of frustration with outdated systems that failed to deliver. We believed technology should be an enabler, not a barrier. So we assembled a team of smart, passionate people and built the platform our clients had been asking for.

Our purpose is clear

  • We exist to empower organizations to do the right thing, every day.
  • Our mission is to deliver intuitive, flexible GRC solutions that drive efficiency and value—your way.

In the video, you’ll hear directly from our founders and team members. You’ll see what life is like at CoreStream HQ and get a feel for the culture that drives our innovation.

Here are a few snippets to give you an idea:

“When the client asks if there’s something that we can do with the product, I don’t have to say no. With CoreStream, it’s just so flexible. There’s so much opportunity for the product to grow with the needs of a client. It does allow us to effectively get the job done.”

Delivery Lead, Alex Greer

“One of the key differentiators of CoreStream GRC is value, the speed to value, how it delivers value-based GRC. We run workshops with organizations to help them understand and unpack the outcome they want, and from there, we can help them design their GRC program and then digitize that using the CoreStream GRC platform.”

GRC Strategy Director, Paul Cadwallader
