Abilene Group launches a Unified GRC Platform

ACUNA unified GRC Platform

Morges (Switzerland), May 1st 2026 – Abilene Group announces the official launch of its AI-native Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platform ACUNA at acunagrc.ai, representing the strategic evolution of its well-established Supplier Shield TPRM solution into a comprehensive enterprise GRC workspace.

From Point Solution to Enterprise Platform

Supplier Shield began as an independent, cloud-based third-party risk management platform designed to help organizations meet European regulatory requirements while maintaining data sovereignty through Swiss hosting. Over time, growing demand from security leaders managing complex, multi-framework compliance programs revealed the need for a more holistic approach—one that could orchestrate risk, evidence, and trust across privacy, business continuity, enterprise risk, internal audit, and multiple compliance standards simultaneously.

"We created Acuna because we saw practitioners struggling with disconnected tools," said a representative from the Acuna core team. "Organizations were outgrowing point solutions built for teams who had just discovered compliance. They needed a platform that spoke their language—mapping controls across ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and more, while providing end-to-end traceability auditors could follow instantly."

Built by Practitioners for Practitioners

The platform leverages the combined expertise of a team with over 100 years of experience in GRC, cybersecurity, and compliance consulting. Unlike vendors that stitch together disparate solutions, Acuna was architected from the ground up by professionals who have operated GRC programs themselves, ensuring the platform addresses real-world operational challenges rather than theoretical requirements.

Core Capabilities

The integrated platform brings several key capabilities to market:

• ‍Unified Multi-Framework Orchestration: Organizations can now run ISO 9001 and GDPR in one operating rhythm, mapping controls across multiple frameworks simultaneously while linking evidence to controls, requirements, and audit outcomes.‍
• AI-Native Evidence Evaluation: Powered by Aiko, the platform's AI assistant evaluates assessment responses including uploaded documents, images, and PDFs, providing evaluation suggestions with confidence scores that practitioners can review and adjust before finalizing.
• ‍Enhanced Third-Party Risk Management: Supplier Shield continues as the dedicated TPRM module, offering OSINT scanning of supplier security posture across DNS configuration, TLS certificates, web security headers, data breach exposure, and reputation scoring with composite A-F grades.‍
• Swiss Data Sovereignty: Maintaining the commitment to data privacy, the platform remains hosted in Switzerland, addressing European regulatory requirements and organizational concerns about data residency.

Target Audience

Acuna is specifically designed for:

• Security leaders managing 200+ controls
• Risk and Compliance practitioners overseeing multi-framework compliance programs
• Teams responsible for privacy, business continuity, enterprise risk, and internal audit
• Organizations requiring a single source of truth across security and compliance obligations
• Companies needing board-level visibility into risk posture and audit readiness

What Makes Acuna Different

"For practitioners who've sat in our chair, running extensive compliance programs means juggling countless spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and endless manual evidence collection," the team explained. "Acuna delivers a single, automated workspace that eliminates this friction while providing the end-to-end traceability modern regulations require."

The platform addresses the critical gap between discovering compliance requirements and actually operationalizing them across an organization's entire risk landscape.
