Complyan
GRC & Compliance Automation Platform
Information
- Project Name: Complyan GRC Platform
- Start Date: 10 March, 2022
- End Date: 5 April, 2023
- Tech Stack: Node.js, Angular, Microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, REST APIs
- Project Type: Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) SaaS Platform
Masarrati developed Complyan, an all-in-one Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) SaaS platform to help organizations manage cybersecurity assurance, data privacy compliance, third-party risk, and audit workflows through a unified system. The platform serves CISOs, compliance officers, and internal auditors by simplifying complex regulatory requirements and enabling automated compliance assessments, risk quantification, and policy governance.
Built using a microservices architecture with Node.js backends and Angular frontends, Complyan delivers secure, scalable, and extensible GRC capabilities with real-time dashboards and integrated frameworks. The platform supports compliance with global, national, and industry-specific frameworks including GDPR, ISO27001, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, and regional regulations across multiple markets.
The challenge of project
- Support multiple cybersecurity and data privacy regulations simultaneously (global and regional).
- Provide a single source of truth for risk and compliance data accessible to multiple stakeholders.
- Enable third-party risk management, including structured self-assessments and supply chain risk scoring.
- Automate compliance assessments, reporting, and audit readiness.
- Scale with enterprise operations while maintaining secure role-based access and governance.
The Solution of project
- Modular compliance engine that integrates multiple frameworks (e.g., ISO27001, GDPR, NIST).
- Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) tools with vendor risk scoring, questionnaires, and supply chain visibility.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for CISOs, auditors, risk officers, and compliance teams.
- Automated Compliance Dashboards with real-time visualizations of posture across domains.
- Audit & Reporting System for internal and external audits with drill-down evidence trails.
- Integration of Data Privacy Controls including data flow mapping and impact assessments.
- Scalable DevOps Pipeline using Docker and Kubernetes for rapid delivery and reliable scaling.
What We’ve Done
The delivery spanned multiple sprints, focusing first on core compliance modules-policy management, risk assessments, and data governance—before layering advanced features like TPRM and audit automation.
- Implemented microservices communication via REST and event streams for performance.
- Designed secure, role-segmented RBAC across all modules.
- Built real-time dashboards and drillable reports for compliance KPIs.
- Enabled framework marketplace, allowing dynamic onboarding of new frameworks.
- Completed platform hardening for enterprise security and multi-tenant operations.
The result of project
- Delivering a centralized compliance system that consolidated visibility across 20+ frameworks.
- Enabling rapid compliance assessments with automated controls mapping.
- Reducing time spent on manual risk tracking and reporting by 65%+ (internal metric reported by stakeholders).
- Enhancing third-party risk management accuracy through automated questionnaires and scoring.
- Providing audit readiness and documentation at executive and board levels.
