Why offer free tools?
Continuum GRC provides free tools primarily as a strategic approach to attract potential customers, demonstrate value, and facilitate compliance with specific standards, such as CMMC and SOC 2. Based on available information, the free tools are designed to help organizations prepare for certifications like CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 and SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 by offering access to modules that simplify the initial steps of the compliance process. These tools connect users with preferred providers, such as C3PAOs (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations) for CMMC or CPA providers for SOC 2, enabling a smoother path to certification.
By offering these tools for free, Continuum GRC aims to:
- Lower Barriers to Entry: Providing free modules reduces the initial cost and complexity for organizations exploring compliance, making it easier for clients to engage with Continuum’s ecosystem.
- Showcase Platform Capabilities: The free tools serve as a demo of the broader Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) software, highlighting automation, ease of use, and support for multiple frameworks, which can encourage users to adopt our paid solutions.
- Build Partnerships: By connecting users with preferred providers, Continuum GRC fosters relationships with auditors and assessors, potentially creating a network effect that benefits our business model.
- Market Differentiation: In a competitive GRC market, offering free tools stands out, especially when many platforms are enterprise-focused and expensive, as noted in industry discussions about GRC software trends.
This approach aligns with their goal of simplifying compliance and risk management while appealing to a wide range of organizations, from startups to enterprises.
