About TractionGRC

The compliance platform for teams who cannot afford to do it the old way.

TractionGRC Inc. is a Washington State compliance software company. We build the platform that lets SMBs, supplier teams, DoD contractors, and enterprise GRC functions run ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC 2.0, supplier assurance, and the rest of their security program without a consultant retainer and a wall of spreadsheets.

Who we are

Built in the Pacific Northwest, shaped by the suppliers living there.

Headquartered in Washington State

TractionGRC Inc. is a Washington State compliance software company. Our platform runs ISMS operations, TractionScore maturity tracking, CMMC 2.0 readiness, and supplier assurance programs for teams from first-framework startups to multi-framework enterprise GRC functions.

We started where thousands of Pacific Northwest companies start: as a Microsoft supplier being asked to complete the annual SSPA questionnaire, and realising the available options were either a five-figure consultant retainer or a GRC tool priced for enterprise. Neither felt right for a team trying to answer a supplier security request. The same gap exists for DoD contractors now staring down CMMC 2.0 deadlines.

So we built the platform we wanted. One that handles SSPA and SIG and HITRUST in the same workflow as your internal ISMS, with CMMC Levels 1, 2, and 3 sitting alongside ISO 27001 and SOC 2. One that gives you a maturity number you can share with customers, instead of a PDF pack they will not read. One that TractionAI, our AI, uses to draft the things your team has been putting off.

Strong security programs should be accessible to any organization, not just those with a security department and a six-figure consulting line.

What we build

One platform, four parts that work together.

The platform is not a policy generator, not a screenshot repository, not a questionnaire inbox bolted onto a dashboard. Four integrated pillars, cross-referencing each other so you enter evidence once and it flows wherever it needs to.

The ISMS core

Scope, risk register, controls tracker, document center, internal audit, management review. ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, ISO 42001, and CMMC 2.0 (all three levels) cross-mapped into one register so a control implemented once counts everywhere.

  • Clause-by-clause readiness tracking for Stage 1, Stage 2, and C3PAO assessments
  • Evidence indexed by clause and timestamped automatically
  • Auditor guest portal with time-boxed, logged access

Supplier assurance programs

Your customers send SSPA, SIG, CAIQ, or HITRUST. Your suppliers need the same from you. Both sides of the conversation run here, with shared evidence and reusable answers. Respond on every plan. Issue from Professional.

  • Five starter libraries including Microsoft SSPA DPR v12
  • Evidence reuse with audit trail of where each answer came from
  • Annual reassessment tracking with contract-anniversary reminders

TractionScore™ maturity

One number for security maturity, weighted across six dimensions of ISMS health. Backed by live signals from your connected environments instead of self-reported percentages. Works for leadership decks, sales conversations, and surveillance audit prep.

  • Six dimensions weighted by real audit outcome impact
  • Shareable maturity profile without exposing control details
  • Trend over time so the board sees whether the program is improving

TractionAI, the draft engine

Most ISMS work stalls when someone has to write the policy, assess the risk, or assemble the audit pack from scratch. TractionAI drafts policies, risk register entries, internal audit checklists, and management review packs against your scope and tech stack. Your team reviews and approves.

  • First-draft policies aligned to your environment
  • Suggested questionnaire responses pulled from your control library
  • Management review packs auto-assembled from current data

Why TractionGRC

Designed differently from the start.

Pricing that works for small teams

Starter at $349/month includes NIST CSF, CIS Controls, CMMC 2.0 Level 1, and the ability to respond to supplier questionnaires. No seat-based upcharges. No quote required to see what things cost.

Two-sided supplier assurance

Respond to SSPA, SIG, CAIQ, and HITRUST on every plan. Issue programs to your own suppliers from Professional. One platform, both sides of the conversation.

Live cloud signals, not screenshots

Azure, AWS, and Google connections verify controls automatically. TractionScore reflects what is actually running in your environment, not what you typed into a spreadsheet last quarter.

TractionAI drafts the blank page

Policies, risk entries, audit checklists, management review packs. First drafts against your scope and stack, so your team spends time on judgment instead of starting blank.

One register, every framework

A control implemented for ISO 27001 Annex A counts for SOC 2 TSC, NIST CSF, ISO 42001, and CMMC 2.0 too. Cross-mapping is maintained centrally.

Honest about the parts we skip

We do not do penetration testing, SIEM, or vulnerability scanning. FedRAMP is on our roadmap, not yet in product. The platform integrates with tools that do the rest. We are honest about what we are and are not, so you do not over-buy.

Who uses TractionGRC

Teams who cannot justify a full-time GRC hire but still have to answer the questionnaire.

Growing teams

SMBs and startups

First compliance framework, first round of customer questionnaires, first ISMS. Starter plan, self-serve.

Supplier assurance

Microsoft and DoD suppliers

Annual SSPA deadline from Microsoft. CMMC Level 1 self-assessment or Level 2 C3PAO certification ahead of November 2026. SIG questionnaires from new prospects. All in one inbox.

GRC teams

In-house GRC functions

Multi-framework programs spanning ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CMMC. Cloud signal validation, internal audit tooling. Professional plan, ongoing operations.

Partners

Consulting partners

Deploy the platform for clients through our Partner program. Gold and Elite tiers with commission structure. Includes RPOs supporting CMMC implementations.

Our mission

Raise the security floor for organizations who cannot afford to raise it the hard way.

Big enterprises have six-person GRC teams, seven-figure budgets, and retained consultants. Most companies have none of that, and most of those companies are still expected to run an ISMS, answer security questionnaires, prepare for a CMMC C3PAO assessment, and prove their posture to customers. We build the platform that closes that gap, plus free resources (the phishing checker, the baseline ISMS templates, the TractionScore registry) for teams not ready to buy anything yet.

Pick a starting point

Start on the Free tier to run a security baseline scan and see what TractionGRC looks like. Move to Starter when you're ready to build your ISMS, respond to questionnaires, or track your first framework. Or book 30 minutes with someone who has run a few of these programs and can tell you whether the platform fits your situation.
