ACW delivered GRCTrail through an approximately six-month engagement spanning product strategy, platform development, integrations, security audits and penetration testing, AI guidance, analytics and go-to-market work. The scope also included technical SEO and optimisation for AI-assisted search.
GRCTrail brings controls, policies, evidence, risk and vendor information into a shared workspace. Its offer combines software with implementation support for areas including GDPR, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness. The product keeps compliance preparation connected with the records and responsibilities a team maintains afterwards.

ACW defined the ideal customer profile, analysed competitors and clarified GRCTrail’s positioning. That work fed into the product roadmap and go-to-market approach, connecting what the platform should offer with the buyers it needs to reach.
GRCTrail is designed for organisations that handle customer data or need to answer enterprise security requirements. SaaS companies, IT service providers and agencies need a practical way to keep policies, evidence and responsibilities organised while preparing for customer reviews and compliance assessments.
ACW’s platform-development work supported a GRC product that connects requirements, records, evidence and operational workflows. The engineering engagement brought product development together with integrations, security work and AI assistance. Requirement → Control and owner → Supporting evidence → Review and next action.
Keep the record, its supporting information and the work still to do connected within the product.
Bring platform development, integration work and AI guidance into the same product engagement.
