What do you like best about fullCircle GRC?

1: Ease of use of the platform: fullCircle is extremely intuitive to use, so it's very easy to get individuals up to speed on how to operate within the platform. This results in significantly less training time / resources allocated toward maintaining the GRC program.

2: fullCircle has many features that allow us to streamline our processes. For instance, we are very easily to link findings from our assessments and vendor reviews into our risk register and track them through completion. This is extremely useful for external audits as we are easily able to demonstrate the source of a risk and how we tracked that risk throughout the entire lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about fullCircle GRC?

N/A - Our team has found fullCircle to be very simple to use and it's been extremely beneficial to our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is fullCircle GRC solving and how is that benefiting you?

fullCircle is primarily helping us in the following ways:

1) We are able to use the "Assessments" and "Controls" modules to routinely conduct internal audits.

2) We are maintaining our risk register and overall risk management process within fullCircle.

3) We are conducting our vendor security reviews within fullCircle.

4) We initially created our policy set within fullCirlce.

Using fullCirlce and the various templates built into the tool has significantly increased the efficiency at which we can complete these tasks. For instance, rather than manually maintaining a risk register in Excel, fullCircle has tools where we can easily assign a risk ranking and it includes definitions that we can use to categorize different risks (e.g., "What criteria differeniaties an Impact Level of 3 from a Level 2). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendall Morris of fullCircle GRC

Appreciate the review, Mike! I know that getting you into the Controls module has been a huge boost for your GRC program and managing your many compliance frameworks. Looking forward to growing the product more with your feedback!

What do you like best about fullCircle GRC?

Full Circle is a well-built platform with all the functionality many GRC programs need.

We can create and track various projects, including vulnerability management and risk remediation. Calendars keep our compliance tasks on track. Policy management functions streamline the drafting and approval process. Vendor management and penetration testing modules are available.

We also use the platform to track assessment (e.g. SOC 2) controls and evidence. Automated follow-ups help keep evidence updated throughout the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about fullCircle GRC?

At the moment, only the automations for AWS are built out. However, automations for Azure and other platforms have already begun beta testing, so this functionality should be available soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is fullCircle GRC solving and how is that benefiting you?

Much of our GRC program management is now run through Full Circle. SOC2 Assessments, risk registry and risk remediation tracking, vulnerability remediation tracking, policy management, compliance activity scheduling, etc. are all handled through Full Circle. The platform is very easy to use and fits our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendall Morris of fullCircle GRC

Thank you for the review Scott! We have really enjoyed working with you as you build out your GRC program in Phalanx and are very excited to begin working on the compliance automations with you as well.

What do you like best about fullCircle GRC?

fullCircle GRC is easy to use. It has a simplified interface and offers great value for money. With different modules available for managing policies, vendor risk assessments, enterprise risk assessments and internal audits, it projects itself as a solution for all your GRC requirements. Additionally, it offers an out-of-the-box customizable inventories module that can be used for multiple purposes. The team at Risk3sixty offered implementation support and promptly responds to any queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about fullCircle GRC?

I have not disliked anything about fullCircle GRC since I started using it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is fullCircle GRC solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to perform our GRC activities manually on Excel. This resulted in some problems such as lack of complete and accurate visibility into the security posture of the organization. fullCircle GRC allowed us to streamline our processes and consequently achieve efficiency, accuracy and visibility into key areas and organizational risk posture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendall Morris of fullCircle GRC

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear our implementation support has been helpful. And nothing makes us happier than hearing you've been able to move your GRC program out of spreadsheets and into fullCircle!

What do you like best about fullCircle GRC?

I was one of the original users of FullCircle, when it was still called Phalanx. The platform went from a very basic platform, to a reliable GRC solution that allows for tracking all elements of your ISMS, GRC, TPRM, and more. It provides the ability to customize as much as you'd like, but the out of the box solution has very much all you'll need. Having used a variety of other GRC tools, FullCircle is surely the easiest to implement, which as an Information Security professional, not having to spend a lot of time to implement a new tool is always a positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about fullCircle GRC?

There's nothing that I dislike. There are surely some feature requests we've made, and the FullCircle team is always receptive to that feedback, but those are more nice to have requests, rather than a must have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is fullCircle GRC solving and how is that benefiting you?

FullCircle helps us centralize management of our Risk Management, Audit Management, ISMS, and TPRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendall Morris of fullCircle GRC

Thank you for the review Michael! We appreciate you using the tool for so long and are so pleased that it's had such a positive impact on your GRC program. Your feedback over the years has definitely helped shape the product.

Full Circle GRC’s intuitive interface makes managing compliance easy, with real-time dashboards and customizable workflows.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about fullCircle GRC?

One downside of Full Circle GRC is that some features, like reporting templates, feel limited and could offer more customization. Additionally, initial setup can be a bit time-consuming, especially for smaller teams without dedicated IT support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is fullCircle GRC solving and how is that benefiting you?

Response from Kendall Morris of fullCircle GRC

Thank you for your review! I'm glad that the dashboards, workflows, and integrations have helped in managing your GRC program. We also appreciate your feedback on reporting, and we've heard you! In our four releases since September 5th, 2024, we have added a revamped reporting module, distribution groups for sending reports, report history & management, and added a brand new dashboard to the Risk Register. We are also working on a new dashboard for the Project Management module that I hope you'll check out soon once it's complete!

What do you like best about fullCircle GRC?

FC is a pretty straightforward GRC package with everything you need to create and implement, or support, your GRC program. I particularly enjoy the ability to link individual items in their corresponding modules (e.g. project task to risk to related control) to show a clear path of the why and how we are doing somehting. While there is room to improve and refine FC (as with evrything), what you get out of the box is pretty awesome. The Risk3sixty team also has a good wiki, excellent support team, and are able to help with your integration. After we implemened FC, we use it regulalrly (daily) for risk management, control reviews, project managegement. The only module we have not dived into is their vendor module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about fullCircle GRC?

Some basic functionality that I would expect in a GRC tool is missing:

- Risk policies cannot be centrally managed and updated across your risk registers.

- Tables cannot be created in rich text boxes.

- I'd like to see an approval/signing function for risk items (not just assinged risk owners) for business stakeholders to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is fullCircle GRC solving and how is that benefiting you?

FC is providing the tools to run and automate portions of our GRC program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kendall Morris of fullCircle GRC

Thank you for your review! I am glad that fullCircle has proven to be a valuable part of your everyday GRC management. We appreciate the feedback and are looking forward to continuously improving fullCircle to better meet your needs!

What do you dislike about fullCircle GRC?
