The gap

Regulated like a big institution.
Resourced like a small one.

  • Obligations are prescribed for large organisations.
  • A platform regulators can view and like.
  • Your obligations — always visible, live, and easy to manage for compliance.

The frame

Four questions. Every board.
Every meeting.

  • What are our risks?
  • Are the actions we're counting on getting done?
  • Who can approve what?
  • Are we ready for a disruption?
One module answers each. One system, four obligations.

Q1
Q1 · What are our risks?

A living risk register,
not an annual spreadsheet.

  • Dual ratings, customised settings — aligned to ISO 31000.
  • Controls documented and rated for effectiveness — ready for assurance review.
  • Know your position — and defend it.
Evidence, not spreadsheets.

Q2
Q2 · Are the actions getting done?

Everything the board counts on, in one running inventory.

  • Every action from every audit, consultancy, board and committee meeting.
  • Owner, due date, revised due date — impact noted. Slippage is visible, not buried.
  • Completion bars at a glance; update it in the meeting itself.
  • The board report generates itself — no status paper to prepare.

Q3 · Who can approve what?

Authority on the record — not in people's heads.

  • A searchable delegations manual, not a policy nobody opens.
  • Graduated dollar thresholds by role — clear ladders, no grey areas.
  • Pivot by authority: everything the board approves, or the CEO, on one page.
  • That key-person risk, retired.

Q4 · Are we ready for disruption?

A live continuity system, not scattered plans on paper.

  • A plan you can act on in minutes.
  • Every critical function: who's responsible, the maximum outage you can tolerate, what to do, who to call.
  • Instant action plans for an outage — from any device, outside your own systems, plus an exportable hard-copy pack.
  • Share a read-only view with your auditor or regulator — domain-restricted, PIN-verified, revocable.

✦ AI-assisted drafting

AI does the heavy lifting.
A person signs off.

  • A short profile in — a full continuity draft out. Hours, not weeks.
  • Your people accept, edit or reject every line.
  • Nothing saves unreviewed.
  • One organisation-wide switch. Off means off.
  • All Certe AI is in-house and on-prem — Certe's own models on Certe's own infrastructure. No third-party AI services.*
Continuity today; other modules on the roadmap.

One place, the whole picture — and everyone in it.

  • Risk, actions, delegations, continuity — every document on one home screen.
  • Invite viewers and collaborators per document — including your directors.
  • Edit live in the meeting. No more passing reports and information around for comment.
  • Always live — one shared source of truth.

The payoff

Board-ready evidence at the touch of a button.

  • Branded board packs generated straight from live data — covers, titles, dated.
  • Named snapshots freeze the record: “Q2 2026 Board Meeting — 30 June 2026.”1
  • Report from any historical snapshot — point-in-time evidence that stands up to internal audit and regulator review.
Certe snapshots — named point-in-time versions
