Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Grand Compliance is a legitimate, high-value RegTech platform backed by Advisense (formerly FCG), a major European GRC firm with over 450 experts and 1,000+ financial institution clients. While the project submission itself contained low-quality, hallucinated data (e.g., claiming 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people' as users), independent verification confirms the entity's established market position, strong B2B traction, and relevant AI-driven technology. The score reflects the high real-world utility and enterprise scale of the actual product, heavily adjusted for the poor quality of the submission data.

Description
Grand is not your average GRC platform. Our primary focus is to make the lives of GRC practitioners easier and more fun. We do this by reducing workload through workflow automation, collaboration and advanced AI, but what truly sets us apart is our continuous feed of out-of-the-box content that has been curated by industry leading experts. We started out as a ragtag team of technologists helping our colleagues at FCG disrupt the GRC space through innovative RegTech solutions powered by data science and AI. Some of those projects turned out to be interesting enough to be launched as stand alone products. Now, Grand Compliance is the most innovative RegTech provider in the Nordics, backed by more than 400 industry leading experts in governance risk and compliance. We combine AI-enabled solutions with human expertise in our next gen GRC platform. Grand Compliance is backed by one of the leaders in the field. FCG Group are the leading GRC experts in Europe focusing on financial risk and compliance. With more than 450 highly specialized subject matter experts FCG is the trusted advisor to more than 1000 financial institutions.
