Products and Services
Risk Cloud: LogicGate’s Risk Cloud platform is a flexible, easy-to-use suite of risk management solutions that empower organizations to transform disorganized risk and compliance operations into agile process applications.
The Risk Cloud’s end-to-end suite of risk management solutions blends a mix of flexibility and out-of-the-box functionality for organizations to manage their risk with confidence within an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface in a no-code environment. Businesses can map their unique risk and compliance frameworks with a library of prebuilt (but configurable) process applications including IT Risk Management, Compliance Management, Enterprise Risk Management, Third-Party Risk Management and more.
Legacy GRC solutions are historically inflexible, taking significant financial investment, expertise and time to implement. This is not the case with LogicGate. The flexible platform allows employees with zero knowledge of coding to configure business processes and create repeatable workflows for risk and compliance.
The Risk Cloud’s centralized repository for critical documents and dashboards enables organizations to easily keep track of all compliance operations in one place. This comprehensive store of important compliance artifacts ensures a complete record for auditing and a single source of truth for all risk framework data. LogicGate offers reporting, documentation and signoff features for complete records of all processes—handy in the event of an external audit.

From a professional LogicGate user on G2:
What do you like best? “LogicGate is an integrated GRC Solution that enables you to run Risk, Audit, Compliance and Vendor Management programs within one platform. Some of the features that stand out:
- Platform versatility and ease of configuration (after initial admin training, we can internally stand up our own modules and migrate business processes into LogicGate as we see fit)
- Platform flexibility (our processes dictate the configuration, not the other way around)
- Controls repository (external and internal) with the crosswalks & mappings
- Modern and user-friendly GUI
- Okta SCIM integration (seamless integration with AD plus accounts auto-provisioning and de-provisioning)
- Ability to create very granular user permissions sets
- Ongoing support from LogicGate team”
What do you dislike? “LogicGate has some limitations when it comes to creating visual reports:
“From an operational standpoint, LogicGate reporting capabilities are sufficient. From the strategic standpoint (data aggregation and trends), data would need to be exported to a BI tool. However, with RESTful API and Zapier in place, it is pretty easy to accomplish those goals.”
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- “Before implementation, revisit and align on your current processes internally.
- During the implementation, focus on how the process should be ideally run instead of how it used to be run.
- Be aware and prepared that some of the existing processes will become obsolete and redundant with the automation and workflow management that LogicGate brings to the table.”
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
- “Central hub for our GRC program that allows us to capture all relevant data points in one database and correlate as needed
- Ability to leverage controls crosswalk to do additional assessments only on the delta between different frameworks
- Automation (notifications based on due dates and internal process triggers) and data normalization (one governed process instead of spreadsheets)”
