The problem
GRC teams often spend 90% of their time on manual data collection, such as chasing internal stakeholders for evidence, reviewing vendor SOC 2 reports, and re-answering the same questionnaires. Findings from these efforts are frequently logged but not acted upon, creating inefficiencies in compliance workflows.

The product approach
HelmGuard’s platform uses AI agents to connect to source systems and automatically gather evidence, reducing the need for manual follow-ups. It maps internal assets, vendors, controls, and AI agents into a live knowledge graph called Atlas, which provides a centralized view of risk posture.

What stands out
Unlike traditional compliance tools, HelmGuard’s network allows organizations to reuse verification data across external parties. If a supplier is already on the platform, their compliance status appears instantly without additional forms, and vice versa. This interconnected approach aims to eliminate redundant reviews while maintaining an audit trail of decisions.

The question to watch
While the platform claims to automate evidence collection and reduce manual effort, independent validation of its effectiveness in real-world compliance workflows—particularly in reducing time spent or improving actionability of findings—remains limited.
