GRC for Australian regulated firms

GRC,simplified.

One GRC platform for smaller banks, credit unions, insurers and super funds regulated by APRA and ASIC.

Screens show a sample organisation. Some are in preview.A two-minute film with music and on-screen titles, no narration. Separate tools for risk, compliance, internal audit, cyber security, data protection, finance and HR come together into one platform: Sastrum. It then shows onboarding an organisation, built-in GRC packs, a policy drafted in one click, dashboards for each leadership role, one enterprise view with each function's data kept separate, and Lumina suggesting actions with their sources, reviewed and accepted by a person.

Who it is for

Same regulations. Smaller teams. Smaller budgets.

  • Mutual banks and credit unions
  • Superannuation funds
  • General and life insurers
  • Insurance brokers
  1. APRA's CPS 230 asks every regulated entity to map critical operations, set tolerances and manage material service providers.
  2. CPS 234 expects tested information security controls and notice to APRA within 72 hours of a material incident.
  3. Privacy Act penalties for serious interference now reach A$50 million or more, and the first civil penalty has been ordered.

Same APRA standards. Same OAIC scrutiny. Same penalties.

A fraction of the team and budget.

Our aim Affordable, easy-to-use, enterprise-grade GRC for every small and mid-size firm.

Why this matters now

GRC failures now cost real money, not just audit points.

Australian figures, each linked to its source.

What makes it different

Same breadth as the global suites. Built for smaller firms.

One control library that every framework maps to, with six things the global suites do not give a smaller firm.

  1. Your regulator, already inside.

    CPS 234, CPS 230, the Privacy Act and SOCI are in the product, alongside ISO 27001, NIST CSF and PCI DSS.

    See the frameworks
  2. Live in minutes.

    Describe your organisation. Sastrum scopes your risk universe, suggests your controls and drafts your first policies, the same day.

    See risk scoping
  3. AI a regulator can audit.

    Lumina suggests and drafts, and shows the clauses it relied on. A named person approves every decision, and every AI action is logged.

    Lumina drafts. People sign.

    How Lumina works
  4. One record, separate lanes.

    Risk, compliance and audit share the same controls and evidence. Each keeps its own data and approvals. The board sees one view across three lines of defence.

    Explore the platform
  5. One licence.

    Governance, compliance, audit and incidents under one licence. In our cloud, your private cloud or on your premises, with the same features.

    Security and deployment
  6. Platform plus people.

    With the product come our services: virtual CISO, managed GRC and security testing.
