Service catalogue

Rather than scoping an open-ended consulting engagement, select the discrete units of work you need — a business impact analysis, a supplier tiering model, a retention schedule — and receive a scoped proposal against each.

How it works
Select the work. Scope it. A consultant delivers it.
You do not have to define a consulting engagement from a blank page. The catalogue breaks GRC delivery into discrete services, each one a scoped unit of work with a named output.
- 01
Choose from the catalogue
Browse 16 delivery categories or search the full catalogue. Select a single service, or add several to a bundle — across categories if the work spans them.
- 02
Complete a short scoping form
Six questions covering boundary, driving framework, timing, your business hours and any existing material. Questions adapt to the category of service selected.
- 03
Receive a proposal and a consultant
A GRC lead confirms the deliverable, duration and acceptance criteria, and names the vetted consultant assigned — with the working overlap they will hold.
- 04
Delivery under a single agreement
Contracting, confidentiality terms and administration run through GRC Department. Bundled services are delivered under one statement of work and one point of contact.

Engagement models
Three ways to take services from the catalogue.
Single service
One catalogue item with a defined output — a business impact analysis, a retention schedule, a supplier tiering model. The narrowest way to start.
- One scoped deliverable
- Defined acceptance criteria
- Suited to a specific gap
Bundled programme
Several services combined into one engagement — commonly a readiness sequence: assessment, then design, then implementation and testing.
- One statement of work
- One point of contact
- Sequenced delivery plan
Continuing support
Recurring catalogue services delivered on a cadence — monitoring cycles, review cycles, questionnaire response and register maintenance.
- Agreed recurring cadence
- Consistent consultant
- Reviewed each quarter
Terms for each model are set out in the proposal returned after scoping. Every engagement begins with a two-week trial period.
Client portal
Your engagements, deliverables and consultants in one place.
Track milestones, accept deliverables, approve your consultant's weekly timesheet, and see what your own teams owe the engagement — the evidence exports and ticket samples that stall an audit when they go missing.
Open the client portalAccept deliverables
Acceptance closes the milestone it belongs to.
Approve timesheets
Hours you approve become payable; a week you do not review within five business days is approved automatically.
See what you owe
Every item your teams owe the consultant, with what is overdue.
Slack and Microsoft Teams
Per-engagement channels are planned, not yet available.
Vetting
Listing is earned through assessed work, not a self-reported résumé.
Consultants progress through the grcmentor.ai programme and a listing review before appearing in client shortlists. Each stage produces artefacts a client can inspect.
- Stage 01
Programme completion
Framework modules and graded control-mapping exercises on grcmentor.ai.
- Stage 02
Simulated audit
An end-to-end readiness exercise producing a policy set, risk register and evidence index.
- Stage 03
Practitioner review
A working session with an experienced assessor, scored against the competencies shown on the profile.
- Stage 04
Engagement record
Client feedback after each engagement remains attached to the profile and informs future matching.
Frequently asked
Common questions.
- Are consultants employees of GRC Department?
- No. Consultants are independent practitioners engaged through GRC Department, which administers the contract, confidentiality terms and payment.
- How is time zone overlap guaranteed?
- Each profile declares a working window. Shortlists exclude consultants who cannot provide at least four hours of overlap with your stated business hours.
- Can a consultant sign our audit opinion?
- No. Consultants prepare organisations for assessment and support the audit; the opinion remains the responsibility of your licensed audit firm.
- How does this relate to grcmentor.ai?
- grcmentor.ai trains and assesses practitioners. GRC Department is where those practitioners are engaged by clients. Listing requires programme completion.
