Keel (keelgrc.com) is a governance, risk & compliance platform for small and mid-sized businesses getting audit-ready for the first time. Incumbent GRC suites are priced and built for enterprises with compliance teams; Keel is built for the founder, IT lead, or fractional CISO who has to pass a first SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit without one.

At Keel's core is a single unified control-and-evidence graph. Controls are authored once and crosswalked across frameworks, so a policy you approve or a piece of evidence you upload counts toward every framework that needs it — collect once, comply everywhere. Thirteen frameworks are live today, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 2, CIS Controls v8.1, PCI DSS 4.0.1, HIPAA, NIST CSF 2.0, NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, and ISO 9001:2015, alongside a modern AI-governance stack (ISO/IEC 42001:2023, NIST AI RMF 1.0, EU AI Act), with more launching on a rolling schedule. New frameworks are data, not code.

Around that graph, Keel covers the full compliance job: a living risk register, 50+ framework-mapped policy templates with AI drafting, vendor-risk management, evidence collection, access reviews, security-questionnaire automation, readiness reports, and a public trust center to prove your posture to customers. MSPs can run multiple client programs from one console.

Every new workspace starts with a 14-day free trial of Pro, no credit card; when it ends, keep Pro or stay on the free plan forever (data retained). The free plan includes NIST CSF 2.0 and AI Governance Essentials; paid plans start at $99/month. Keel is operated by Keel GRC LLC.
