Governance Roadmap

Your Compliance Calendar — Built Automatically

Designed around tax season. Heavy compliance work happens in the off-season (Q2–Q4). During busy season, SafeGuardGRC keeps things on autopilot — so you focus on filing, not paperwork.

Q1 (Jan–Mar) — Busy Season

Minimal tasks — you're filing returns

Automated alerts only — no heavy compliance lifts
Confirm cyber insurance is active before season starts
Quick-check: team MFA & access controls still in place

Q2 (Apr–Jun) — Post-Season Reset

Season's over — time to catch up on governance

Annual risk assessment review & update
WISP review, re-approval, and digital signature
Update data inventory for any new software or staff changes
Employee security training renewal (all staff)

Q3 (Jul–Sep) — Vendor & Controls Review

Off-season deep dive into third-party risk

Vendor security assessment reviews (SOC 2, DPAs)
MSP controls assessment verification
Review access controls — remove former employees/contractors
Update incident response contact trees

Q4 (Oct–Dec) — Renewal & Season Prep

Lock everything down before busy season

Apply any new state or federal regulatory changes to policies
Prepare documentation for cyber insurance renewal
Year-end audit trail review and archival
Verify all governance documentation is current for tax season

Automated Alerts

Email reminders before every deadline so you never miss a review

Task Assignment

Assign quarterly tasks to your team, MSP, or yourself with due dates

Overdue Tracking

Visual dashboard shows what's on track, what's due, and what's overdue

Automatic Regulatory Updates

Your Policies Stay Current. Automatically.

Regulations change. State laws get updated. SafeGuardGRC monitors these changes and updates your documentation — no consulting fees, no manual review.

State Law Monitoring

Operating in Massachusetts and California? When either state updates its breach notification law, your incident response plans update to match — automatically.

FTC & IRS Updates

When the FTC Safeguards Rule or IRS Publication 4557 requirements change, your WISP and policies are updated to stay compliant. No gaps between rule changes and your documentation.

Change Alerts

Get notified when a regulatory change affects your firm. See exactly what changed, why it matters, and how your documents were updated — all with a complete audit trail.

49 Controls. Mapped to FTC & IRS. Tested with Evidence.

Most platforms stop at policies. SafeGuardGRC goes further — mapping your compliance to 49 specific controls from the FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS Publication 4557, then testing each one with real evidence.

Control Register

Every control auto-mapped from your risk assessment. Track effectiveness (Effective / Partially Effective / Not Implemented) with inherent and residual risk scores. Mapped directly to FTC §314.4 sections.

Evidence Upload & Testing

Upload screenshots, documents, or attestations per control per asset. Per-asset or firm-wide test scope with recurrence scheduling (quarterly, semi-annual, annual). Because many tax systems aren't API-connected, AI reads and evaluates screenshots directly.

AI-Powered Evaluation

Uploaded evidence is evaluated by AI with confidence scoring (high / medium / low) and effectiveness grading. Your Qualified Individual can accept, reject, or override every evaluation — full audit trail preserved.

Identity Provider Inheritance

If your identity provider (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID) passes an AUTH control, that result cascades to all downstream apps connected via SSO. Test once, cover many — reducing evidence collection from hours to minutes.

Automate Your Data Inventory

Connect Microsoft 365. Auto-Sync Security Signals.

Stop manually checking MFA status and encryption settings across every app. Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant and SafeGuardGRC pulls security signals directly from Microsoft Graph.

MFA enrollment status per user
Conditional access policies
Password policy compliance
Device compliance (MDM, encryption)
Sharing settings

Your data inventory stays accurate without manual reviews. When a signal changes, compliance events fire automatically. Manual sync or scheduled (daily/weekly) options available.

Stay Ahead of Compliance Drift

Every Change Tracked. Every Gap Flagged.

SafeGuardGRC monitors changes across all modules and surfaces compliance events in real time — so nothing falls through the cracks.

QI designation changes
Immediate compliance event
MFA disabled or encryption removed
Control re-evaluation needed
Risk assessment approved
Remediation plan + control register sync
Remediation items completed
Control effectiveness updated
Regulatory changes detected
Policy regeneration recommended
Document version expires
Annual review reminder triggered

Built-in deduplication prevents alert fatigue. Each event includes recommended action and a direct link to resolve.
