What is Ostendio?
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, Ostendio develops the MyVCM operational GRC platform. It serves security, compliance, risk and audit teams with workflow automation and framework crosswalks.
Ostendio MyVCM is a cloud-based operational governance, risk and compliance platform that brings controls, evidence, policies, tasks and reporting into one working environment. Teams select a framework, map controls across additional standards, assign work to owners and monitor progress through dashboards. Its workflow model supports evidence requests, questionnaires, notifications and audit preparation, while CrossWalk reuses evidence across related requirements. The product is designed to make security and risk management an organization-wide operating process rather than a spreadsheet maintained by one specialist.
The platform covers compliance management, enterprise and IT risk, internal audit, vendor risk, document governance, asset tracking, employee security training and reporting. Ostendio’s pricing page lists unlimited frameworks and audits, control mapping across more than 150 frameworks, vendor risk assessments, dashboards and API support. Open APIs and connectors can bring in external evidence, but buyers should validate specific integrations and framework content during evaluation. The breadth is useful for combined programs, though complex deployments may require configuration and implementation support.
Ostendio is a fit for security and compliance teams, healthcare and regulated organizations, auditors, consultants, and managed security providers that need a shared system for several customers or standards. Ostendio publishes annual starting prices of $2,994 for Select, $23,940 for Premium and $119,400 for Enterprise. Packages include progressively broader workflow, training, vendor risk, dashboard, API and enterprise risk capabilities, while implementation and custom integration needs should be confirmed before purchase.
