ToggleYou’re not looking for another tool. You’re looking for the last compliance tool you’ll ever need.
- Real-time, not rear-view. Most GRC platforms give you a snapshot once a year. We give you a live feed every single day—automatically collecting evidence, mapping controls across frameworks, and showing you exactly where you stand, right now.
- One platform, every framework. FedRAMP, StateRAMP, TX-RAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA/HITECH, GDPR, CIS Controls, and 100+ more—fully pre-mapped and continuously updated. Run dozens of audits at once without duplicating work.
- Automation that actually works. No more manual evidence uploads, no more chasing engineers for screenshots. We integrate natively with AWS, Azure, GCP, Office 365, Okta, Jira, ServiceNow, and hundreds of other tools to pull evidence the moment it’s created.
Built for the programs that matter most
- First GRC platform to achieve FedRAMP Authorised status itself (Moderate)
- Powers assessments for multiple accredited FedRAMP 3PAOs
- Chosen by more CJIS, SOC, ISO, StateRAMP, and TX-RAMP authorised providers than any other platform
Predictable pricing, zero surprises, Unlimited users, unlimited assessments, unlimited frameworks—one predictable, transparent price. No per-seat fees, no per-audit charges, no “call for quote” games.
Obsessed with your success. 24×7 US-based support from actual compliance experts (average 10+ years experience). Most tickets are resolved in under an hour. When you’re up against a hard audit deadline, we work like it’s our own.

Our Story
Continuum GRC, Inc. was incorporated in 2015 following a few incubation years inside Lazarus Alliance, out of a simple, stubborn observation: the world was drowning in compliance checklists while real risk was slipping through the cracks.
Our founder, Michael Peters, is an Air Force veteran who served as a supervisor in Enlisted Defensive Fire Control Systems before diving into the world of information security as a compliance expert for some of the largest organizations and a FedRAMP auditor to prominent cloud providers. He watched brilliant companies waste millions of hours filling out spreadsheets that became obsolete the moment they were submitted. Auditors asked the same questions every year. Security teams burned out. And still, breaches happened.
Michael kept asking one question no one seemed able to answer: “Why can’t compliance be continuous instead of a once-a-year panic?”
In a cramped office in Scottsdale, Arizona, he started building the answer. The first version of the Continuum GRC platform was ugly, over-engineered, and ran on a single server that crashed if more than three people logged in simultaneously. But it did something revolutionary—it pulled evidence automatically, mapped controls across frameworks in real time, and told you, every single day, exactly where you stood.
Early customers were the ones no one else wanted: fast-moving SaaS companies chasing FedRAMP authorization, healthcare startups terrified of HIPAA fines, and financial firms buried under NIST and PCI requirements. They didn’t need another consultant with a binder. They needed a system that worked like DevOps works for code—automated, transparent, always on.
Word spread the way it does in regulated industries—quietly, urgently, one exhausted CISO to another. By 2018, we had replaced spreadsheets at more than a hundred organizations. In 2020, when the world went remote overnight, companies that had been using Continuum GRC sailed through their audits while everyone else scrambled.
Today we’re still obsessed with the same problem we started with: turning compliance from a cost center into a real-time risk intelligence engine. Our platform now tracks millions of controls across FedRAMP, StateRAMP, TX-RAMP, CMMC, NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and hundreds of other frameworks and modules; often for the same client at the same time. We’ve built the largest library of pre-mapped regulatory content in the world, and we still update it every single week.
But the mission hasn’t changed. We believe compliance shouldn’t be theater. It should be the by-product of running your business securely.
Every line of code we write, every new framework we map, every late-night support call we take—it all comes back to that first question Michael asked a decade ago.
How can we work smarter and not harder to support continuous compliance?
That’s our story. We’re still writing the next chapter, with our customers, one real-time dashboard at a time.
Welcome to Continuum GRC. We’ve been expecting you.

2023 • 2.5 Million Controls Under Management Platform now tracks more than 2.5 million live controls daily. Adds native integrations with 200+ evidence sources (AWS, Azure, GCP, Okta, ServiceNow, etc.).
2024 • #1 Platform for StateRAMP & TX-RAMP Officially powers more authorized StateRAMP and TX-RAMP providers than any other GRC solution.
2025 • 100+ frameworks, hundreds of modules, thousands of assessments running simultaneously. Still headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. Still updating every framework every week. Still answering support tickets at 2 a.m. when your audit is due at 9 a.m.
2026 and beyond: The mission has never changed: Turn compliance from a recurring nightmare into a real-time superpower.
We’re not done. The next milestone is yours. Let’s write it together.
