Platform solutions
pick what you want to solve
One platform. Three connected layers: DRM, VRM and GRC.
Sternwake sits between detection and decision. It takes the outputs of the tools you already run, makes them comparable and explainable, and turns them into decisions your board, regulators and insurers can trust. Three modules, one data model — buy one, or run all three.

Platform modules
Platform modules
Three connected layers, one data model.
Module order follows the deck: DRM → VRM → GRC. Each module can stand alone, but the platform becomes strongest when all three share the same asset, control and financial-risk model.
MODULE 1 — DRM
01
Data Risk Management
The problem
Patent-pending confidential data identification with quantitative risk analysis in networks. Discovers and classifies PII, PHI and PCI across cloud, network and endpoint.
What Sternwake does
Combines a rule-based engine with AI for context-aware classification and far fewer false positives. Aggregates data value from element → file → asset, flags open permissions, sees into password-protected files, and maps findings to HIPAA, GLBA, PCI, GDPR and NYDFS libraries.
OUTCOMES
Complete sensitive-data visibility. Materially fewer false positives. Breach exposure you can quantify.

MODULE 2 — VRM
02
Vulnerability Risk Management
The problem
Aggregates the Exposure review tools and security tools you already run into one de-duplicated view. Enriches every finding with exploit-status intelligence, including KEV and EPSS.
What Sternwake does
Links vulnerabilities to assets and business impact so crown-jewel systems are protected first. Tests exposures against NIST 800-53 and your own controls, quantifies financial exposure per vulnerability, and models control cost versus risk reduction.
OUTCOMES
Evidence quality, underwriting context, and coverage alignment — reviewed with your broker.

MODULE 3 — GRC
03
Governance, Risk & Compliance
The problem
Maps controls to NIST CSF / 800-53, HIPAA, NAIC, NYDFS 500, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DORA. Supports role-based attestation with RBAC and full audit trail.
What Sternwake does
Collect evidence once and reuse it across every regulation. Live compliance status updates the moment evidence is rejected, and control gaps link directly to financially quantified risk alongside VRM and DRM.
OUTCOMES
60% less audit-preparation time. Collect once, reuse everywhere. Board- and regulator-ready attestation.

Fast to deploy
Fast to deploy
Live in days, not quarters.
Ingest what you already own — assets, CMDB, cloud and endpoints, your existing exposure review tools, control libraries and GRC registers — and DRM works out of the box with a pre-populated sensitivity library, built-in exposure review and dark-web price baselines. The result: a dollar-valued risk picture in days, not a six-month consulting project.

Why Sternwake
Why Sternwake
Built for the decisions incumbents leave open.
Vulnerability-first design
We started with vulnerabilities, not checklists; the biggest difference versus traditional GRC tools.
Asset & data valuation
We value the asset and the sensitive data on it, per inventory — the gap incumbents leave open.
Evidence once, reuse everywhere
One evidence base across NIST, HIPAA, NAIC, NYDFS and DORA.
One integrated stack
VRM + DRM + GRC in a single platform — no exposure review tool-to-GRC reconciliation.
