Greypike turns complex compliance requirements into clear, actionable tasks — then backs every step with real compliance analysts who review your work and help you stay on track.
Achieve and maintain compliance without becoming a compliance expert.
Turn on multi-factor authentication for all accounts with admin privileges in your identity provider. Export the enrolment report once every admin is enrolled, and upload it below.
Reviewed by Marcus O., compliance analyst. Evidence accepted. Break-glass account was excluded — documented the exception so it won't read as a gap at assessment.
Every option hands you something. None of them hands you the work. Run through them to see where each one stops.
Whichever you buy, your team still has to interpret what needs to be done, decide who should do it, and judge whether the result is good enough. Months go into translating requirements, rebuilding the same work for every framework, and paying for tools and advice that stop at the edge of the work.
How we work
Most firms make you pick one. A platform sells you automation with nobody accountable. A consultancy sells you hours that don't scale and end when the invoice does. We built Greypike to be both, in one team.
The platform
Our Compliance App does the parts that are mechanical, high-volume, and easy to get wrong when a human does them by hand at 11pm.
The practitioners
Scoping calls, risk acceptance, and how a control actually gets implemented in your environment are judgment calls. Those stay with people.
Implement once. Attest many. We build one canonical set of controls in your environment, then project it across every framework your customers ask for — instead of starting over each time.
Everything left of the line is visibility. Everything right of it is the work — and the work is where compliance actually happens.
Every box on the left is one your team still has to tick.
Four stages, running continuously. Our models carry the volume; a named compliance analyst carries the judgment — and you can reach them directly at any point.
Scheduled time with the analyst on your account — scoping calls, risk decisions, walkthroughs.
Questions answered by the person who reviews your submissions, not a support desk.
Our models read the requirement — the regulation text, the assessment objectives, and how your environment is actually set up — and translate it into tasks written in plain language for your organization. A practitioner reviews the set before it ever reaches you.
Each task carries instructions, an owner, and the evidence it needs. AI drafts the policies and artifacts so your team is editing rather than starting from a blank page, and evidence is pulled straight from your connected systems where it can be — identity, endpoint, cloud, and productivity tools — so you're uploading far less than you'd expect.
A compliance analyst reviews what you submitted, gives feedback, and confirms the work genuinely supports the requirement. Book time with them or email them directly when a call is faster than a comment thread — it's the same person either way.
Evidence ages, environments change, and requirements get revised. The platform watches your connected systems for drift and reopens the task that needs attention; your analyst tells you what changed and whether it actually matters — so you maintain the program instead of rebuilding it before every audit.
Serious obligations, no mature internal compliance department, and the work still landing on someone who already has a job.
Manage FTC Safeguards obligations and the security expectations your clients now put in writing.
Turn HIPAA obligations and customer evidence requests into ongoing, trackable work.
Handle contractual, customer, export-control, and cybersecurity obligations without duplicating effort across each one.
Prepare for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the customer security reviews that gate enterprise deals.
The work Greypike was built on. CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 7012, and the prime flow-downs that decide whether you stay eligible to bid — run by credentialed practitioners who do this every day.
Five choices that separate running a compliance program from buying a tool that watches one.
Regulations become work people can actually complete. Not a control library to interpret, not a dashboard to decode — a task with an owner, instructions, and a definition of done.
Compliance professionals review the work and step in when judgment matters. Nothing is marked satisfied on a model's say-so.
Complete the work once and apply it across every mapped obligation.
Keep the program current between audits and assessments — not rebuilt in the six weeks before one.
A practitioner-led operating model built in defense and other demanding regulated environments, then brought to everyone else.
Evidence is pulled from the source instead of screenshotted into a folder — so a task closes with proof that's current, timestamped, and traceable back to the system that produced it. Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and Intune connect in both commercial tenants and GCC High.
No connector? The task still works. Integrations remove manual collection where they exist — they're never a prerequisite for getting compliant.
Clear tasks, a named compliance analyst reviewing the work, and evidence that holds up when someone comes to check. You'll leave the call knowing exactly where you stand.
