Unicis: A New Standard of Resilience for GRC in SMEs
In today’s rapidly evolving regulatory and threat landscape, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is no longer just about checking boxes—it’s about building resilience. Yet most GRC tools are still rigid, siloed, and reactive. They help you document what happened after the fact, not manage and reduce risk as it emerges.
Unicis redefines what GRC means for modern organizations, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It's not just a checklist system or audit tool. It’s a collaborative, agile platform where security, compliance, privacy, and operational teams work together—in real time—to actively build organizational resilience.
Resilience Begins with Integration
Resilience isn’t created by more tools. It’s created when the right people have the right context at the right time.
Unicis brings all your teams—legal, compliance, cybersecurity, engineering, auditing, and vendor management—into one shared space. Instead of running ten disconnected processes in ten different tools, you work from one unified task, where each team contributes directly and visibly.
This connected workflow reduces delays, avoids duplication, and ensures every risk or control is addressed in the flow of daily work—not just during audits.
With Unicis, you can manage tasks for security, privacy, and compliance team in one place.
Collaborate accross multiple teams about gap analysis, register of procedures and transfer impact assessment.
Example: Google Workspace
Say your SME uses Google Workspace. That’s not just an IT decision—it’s a vendor, a data processor, and a risk vector. With Unicis, you approach GWS as part of your resilience architecture.
Within a single Unicis task, you can:

- 5.10 Information Deletion – Automate data retention policies
Strengthen Compliance Foundations
