Wired Relations is a GRC solution - tailored for privacy and information security.

We help organisations turn fragile privacy and information security into sustainable GRC programmes.

We focus on four things:

• Ease-of-use: You don’t need consultants to implement Wired Relations and you don’t need training to use it.
• Collaboration: Privacy and infosec is a team sport. We make it easy to collaborate.
• Overview: Privacy and infosec is complicated enough as it is. Wired Relations makes it easier to get an overview - not harder.
• Organising for GRC: The trick is to organise your processes and workflows so that you can sustain your programme.
