Rapid7, Inc., a global leader in AI-powered managed cybersecurity operations, announced the general availability of Rapid7 Cyber GRC, expanding the Rapid7 Command Platform with native governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) capabilities.
According to the company, the new offering helps organizations continuously understand cyber risk, validate control effectiveness, and simplify compliance by connecting GRC workflows with live security operations data.
This shared data foundation gives security and compliance teams a unified, continuously updated view of control performance, active threats, and organizational risk.
With Rapid7 Cyber GRC, Rapid7 becomes the first major security operations platform to unify SecOps and GRC, extending its Preemptive Security strategy across risk, controls, and compliance, said the company.
Security operations and governance have historically evolved as separate disciplines, leaving organizations to reconcile security findings, compliance evidence, and business risk across disconnected systems. Rapid7 Cyber GRC brings these functions together on a common operational foundation, uniting security operations and governance to support continuous assurance.
Rapid7 Cyber GRC connects governance workflows directly to live security telemetry. By tying internal controls to current attack-surface visibility, Rapid7 gives security, risk, and compliance teams a shared view of control effectiveness, active threats, and organizational risk, the company said.
With Rapid7 Cyber GRC, organizations can:
- Continuously validate security controls using live platform telemetry to identify control deficiencies and drift between formal assessments.
- Automate audit readiness by collecting evidence and mapping controls across multiple compliance frameworks.
- Streamline third-party risk management with an AI Assessment Assistant that accelerates vendor questionnaires and reviews.
- Connect security action to measurable risk reduction by bringing active threats, exposures, and findings into year-round compliance workflows.
The Cyber GRC also uses AI-powered assistants for compliance workflows and third-party assessments. These capabilities support policy management, third-party risk management, risk registers, audit-ready reporting, and optional PCI Approved Scanning Vendor scanning.
“Preemptive security goes beyond detecting and responding to threats. Organizations need to continuously understand where risk exists, whether controls are working, and where action is needed before gaps become incidents,” said Corey Thomas, Executive Chairman of Rapid7. “By bringing GRC into our platform, Rapid7 Cyber GRC connects what teams detect, what they fix, and what they can prove, turning compliance from a point-in-time exercise into an active part of security operations.”
Rapid7 is also building an ecosystem of audit, assurance, and GRC partners that extend continuous assurance beyond the platform.
Partners including HITRUST, Insight Assurance, and 360 Advanced help organizations support certification and compliance programs across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, CMMC, and FedRAMP.
