What is Onspring?
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, Onspring provides cloud software for governance, risk, compliance, audit and business-process automation. The company says its platform serves 250,000 users globally.
Onspring is a cloud-based, no-code GRC and audit platform that connects data, workflows and processes in one configurable system. Teams can build records, control libraries, risk registers, assessments, audit workpapers and policy processes without traditional software development. Automated workflows, reminders, role-based access, dashboards and drill-down reporting help organizations move work from spreadsheets and email into a shared operating system. Its platform also supports formulas, surveys, dynamic documents, data references and multi-record creation for repeatable processes.
The product suite spans risk management, compliance, policy management, third-party risk, incident management, internal audit, POA&M management, and continuity and recovery. Framework support includes ISO, NIST and CMMC, while integrations and data connectors extend coverage into regulatory, cyber-risk and vendor intelligence. Its flexibility is a real strength for unusual programs, but it can require more configuration and administrator training than narrowly scoped, prebuilt tools. Onspring states that SOX and PCI control content is not included by default.
Onspring targets startups through Fortune 500 organizations, with use cases across audit, security, compliance, legal, vendor management and business continuity. Pricing is quote-based and can be licensed by users, by products, or through a hybrid model; implementation depends on the licensing model. Platform service levels run from Bronze through Platinum, with progressively more storage, environments, support and training. The company does not publish a numeric entry price, so buyers should request a tailored quote and clarify user, product, implementation and connector costs.
