OrviQ: Continuous assurance for regulated enterprises.

Developed by Nexa Cyber Security, OrviQ is our dedicated Enterprise Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) platform. It links statutory obligations, technical controls, penetration testing findings, and tamper-evident evidence in one governed workflow.

  • End-to-End Traceability: Connect regulations, controls, evidence, and 3×3 assurance determinations without spreadsheet drift.
  • Enforced Segregation of Duties: Independent second-line challenge and SHA-256 evidence freshness gates.
  • Dedicated Product Site: Full platform documentation, interactive walkthroughs, and architecture specifications are hosted at orviq.io.
Engineering Doctrine & Accountability

Credibility built on verifiable architecture, not marketing claims.

Trust is earned through deterministic software enforcement, transparent methodology, and verified UK corporate accountability.

Explore Advisory & Governance Methodology
Architectural Doctrine

Four non-negotiable governance rules.

01

Progress requires independent review

Unreviewed submissions count as zero. Completion metrics only advance once independent second-line review is accepted.

02

Enforced Segregation of Duties

Control owners cannot approve their own assessments—enforced automatically at the platform data layer.

03

Mandatory remediation on failure

An inadequate control rating cannot be submitted without recording a formal finding, named owner, and remediation plan.

04

Immutable audit trail & advisory AI

AI extraction remains strictly advisory until human sign-off, with every decision recorded in an append-only audit log.
