AI-native GRC², for financial institutions
Most GRC platforms see part of the picture.
Binnacle sees the whole institution.
Binnacle is 7T World's AI-native GRC² platform for financial institutions — governance, risk, and compliance, squared. No platform on the market covers more than about half of what an institution actually needs. Binnacle assesses the whole institution across roughly 19 coverage areas, maps to the GRC platform you already run, and hands back a scored posture with a prescription for what to build next.
Talk to a principalNo platform covers everything. Binnacle covers the gap.
Every GRC platform on the market — Archer, LogicGate, ServiceNow, OneTrust, Workiva — covers a portion of what a financial institution actually needs, and rarely more than about half. The rest lives in spreadsheets, inboxes, and institutional memory, invisible until an examiner or a board member asks for it.
Binnacle doesn't ask you to rip any of that out. It's platform-agnostic by design: it maps to the GRC platform you already run, assesses the whole institution across roughly 19 coverage areas — from governance to BSA/AML to information security — and shows you precisely where the gap is and how to close it. Governance, risk, and compliance, squared: the next generation of GRC, built for the entire institution rather than the GRC function alone.
Three layers. The third is the one no other vendor hands you.
Every assessment starts with the facts. The value is in what comes after them.
Institutional Profile
The facts every vendor collects — your charter, your products, your footprint, and the regulators who examine you. The table stakes.
Organizational Reality
Culture, politics, maturity, and history — where the real work actually lives, and where generic tools go blind. Binnacle assesses it directly.
The Prescription
What to build, and in what order. The compensating controls and implementation roadmap that turn an assessment into a plan — the deliverable no other vendor produces.
How Binnacle works
Structured intake
Not a questionnaire. Adaptive, AI-guided conversations with your own team, with follow-ups shaped by their answers — across roughly 19 coverage areas, from governance to BSA/AML to information security.
Routed by role
An internal coordinator routes each coverage area to the right expert. Contributors have guided conversations and upload documents for AI-assisted review.
Approved where it counts
A senior leader — CCO, CRO, or General Counsel — signs off on sensitive areas before anything moves downstream.
Assessed and scored
Binnacle produces a configuration blueprint, a gap analysis against your existing platform, and a scored governance, risk, and compliance posture.
Prescribed
Compensating-controls recommendations and an implementation roadmap — what to build, in what order — with a stakeholder value summary for the people who have to approve it.
Every stage is captured, so your next examination response is a query against the record rather than a project.
What you walk away with
Not a score and a shrug. A scored posture across governance, risk, and compliance — and the documents that tell you what to do about it.
Built to fit how you already work
It maps to your platform, not over it
Binnacle is platform-agnostic by design. It maps to the GRC platform you already run — Archer, LogicGate, ServiceNow, OneTrust, Workiva, and others — reads what you have, and closes the gap. No rip-and-replace, no migration project.
It watches your own documents
Binnacle keeps watch on the governance and policy documents housed and maintained inside it, and flags when they drift out of alignment. Watching the outside regulatory perimeter is Soundings' job.
It's SAR-safe by design
SAR-specific content is handled only in practitioner sessions, per 31 U.S.C. § 5318(g)(2). The platform doesn't collect it — so nothing you put into Binnacle creates a disclosure problem.
Name your GRC platform. We'll show you the half it misses.
Talk to a principal — a founder, not a sales rep. Bring the platform you run today and the areas that keep you up at night, and you'll get an honest read on what Binnacle assesses, where your coverage actually stands, and what a prescription for your institution would look like. The value is the read, whether or not you build with us.
