The Skefto Difference
Why Skefto is different from generic GRC software.
Generic GRC Software
Skefto
- Built by software companies trying to understand risk management.
- Designed by practitioners who have spent decades inside Australian regulated sectors.
- Generic frameworks. Buyer must configure to local standards.
- Out-of-the-box alignment with AS/ISO 31000, APRA CPS 220 / 230 / 234, AS/ISO 22301, and NDIS Quality and Safeguards.
- Software only. Implementation and uplift sold separately by partners.
- Software, advisory, and training delivered by the same team that built the platform.
- Hosted globally. Australian data sovereignty often unclear.
- Hosted exclusively in government-certified Australian data centres.
- Buyer chooses a tool, then a framework, then a partner.
- Buyer chooses one integrated stack.

Practitioner-Led Design
Designed for risk, by risk experts.
Skefto was not designed by technologists trying to understand risk management. It was built by practitioners who spent decades inside Australian government, education, and regulated organisations, and who saw first-hand how inadequate existing tools were for the sector. That practitioner perspective is embedded in every workflow, every template, and every design decision. When you use Skefto, you are using a platform built on twenty years of real-world risk practice aligned with Australian and international standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about risk management software.
What is risk management software?
Risk management software helps organisations identify, assess, monitor, and manage risk in a structured and consistent way. It centralises risk registers, controls, incidents, compliance obligations, and reporting within one platform. This improves visibility across the organisation, supports better decision-making, and reduces reliance on manual spreadsheets and disconnected processes. Modern risk management software also helps teams strengthen governance, accountability, and regulatory compliance.
Is Skefto aligned with AS/ISO 31000?
Yes. Skefto is designed to support organisations aligning with the principles and framework outlined in AS/ISO 31000. The platform helps teams establish consistent risk management processes, maintain risk registers, document controls, and monitor treatment actions across the organisation. Its configurable structure allows organisations to apply their own governance methodologies while supporting a practical and scalable approach to enterprise risk management.
Does Skefto support APRA CPS 220 compliance?
Yes. Skefto supports organisations working toward APRA CPS 220 compliance by improving oversight, accountability, and risk reporting processes. The platform enables businesses to manage risk registers, controls, incidents, and assurance activities within a centralised system. Automated workflows and reporting capabilities also help leadership teams maintain stronger governance practices and demonstrate a more structured approach to risk management and compliance obligations.
Where is Skefto data hosted?
Skefto data is hosted securely within Australian-based infrastructure environments. This helps organisations maintain stronger data governance, privacy, and compliance standards while supporting local hosting requirements. Security controls, user permissions, and access management processes are built into the platform to help protect sensitive operational and governance information. Hosting arrangements may also support organisations with specific internal or regulatory data residency requirements.
Is Skefto suitable for local government?
Yes. Skefto is well suited to local government organisations that need a practical and transparent approach to risk management, governance, and compliance. The platform supports risk registers, incident management, business continuity planning, and reporting across multiple departments and operational areas. Its configurable workflows and reporting tools help councils improve accountability, streamline manual processes, and maintain stronger oversight of strategic and operational risks.
Can Skefto replace spreadsheet-based risk management?
Yes. Skefto is designed to replace spreadsheet-based risk management with a more centralised, scalable, and reliable system. Instead of managing disconnected files across teams, organisations can maintain risks, controls, incidents, and actions within one secure platform. This reduces duplication, improves reporting accuracy, strengthens version control, and gives leadership better visibility into organisational risk and compliance activities.
What is RiskMAT?
RiskMAT is Skefto’s structured risk assessment methodology designed to support consistent and practical risk evaluation processes. It helps organisations assess risk using clearly defined criteria, scoring frameworks, and treatment approaches aligned with recognised risk management practices. RiskMAT supports better decision-making by improving consistency across teams and enabling organisations to prioritise risks, controls, and mitigation activities more effectively.
Does Skefto offer risk management training?
Yes. Skefto offers risk management training to help organisations strengthen internal capability and improve adoption of risk management practices. Training can support staff, leadership teams, and risk owners in understanding governance processes, risk assessment methodologies, and platform functionality. This helps organisations build a stronger risk culture while ensuring teams can use the platform effectively within day-to-day operational and compliance activities.
How does Skefto support business continuity planning?
Skefto supports business continuity planning by helping organisations document, manage, and monitor continuity risks, response actions, and recovery processes within a centralised platform. Teams can maintain continuity plans, assign responsibilities, track actions, and improve visibility during disruption events. Integrating business continuity with broader risk and governance activities also helps organisations strengthen resilience and improve preparedness across critical operational functions.
How long does Skefto take to implement?
Implementation timeframes depend on the size, complexity, and requirements of the organisation. Many organisations can begin using core Skefto functionality within a relatively short timeframe, particularly when migrating from spreadsheet-based processes. The implementation process typically includes configuration, onboarding, training, and data setup to ensure the platform aligns with internal governance, compliance, and operational requirements.
Can Skefto scale across a large organisation?
Yes. Skefto is designed to scale across large and multi-department organisations with varying governance and operational requirements. The platform supports configurable workflows, role-based permissions, multiple business units, and enterprise-wide reporting capabilities. This allows organisations to maintain consistent risk management practices while giving different teams the flexibility to manage their own operational, strategic, and compliance activities within one central system.
Can Skefto be used outside Australia?
Yes. Skefto supports internationally recognised standards including ISO 31000 and ISO 22301, making it suitable for organisations operating both within and outside Australia. While the platform is widely used by Australian organisations, its configurable structure supports global risk management, governance, and business continuity requirements across multiple industries and jurisdictions. Organisations aligning with international standards can adapt the platform to their own operational and compliance frameworks.
