Introducing Encircle

Privacy. AI. Ethics.
Proven.

The big corporates already want to know: is your business POPIA compliant, are you governing AI, can you prove your ethics? Encircle turns those answers into a live, evidence-backed governance score — so you can prove it, and win the work that depends on it.

Tasks & Evidence

Every gap becomes a task.
Every task demands proof.

The moment your assessment reveals a gap, Encircle creates a remediation task — assigned to the right person, linked to the specific control, with the exact evidence required to close it.

Connect what you already have

Your documents already exist.
We find them, test them, track them.

Encircle connects read-only to where your organisation already keeps its documents. No re-uploading, no parallel filing system.

STEP 1

Connect & scan

Link Google Drive, SharePoint or OneDrive in minutes. Encircle scans for governance documents you already hold — policies, registers, minutes, plans.

STEP 2

Map & identify gaps

Found documents are matched to each framework’s evidence requirements and tested. What’s missing, outdated or unapproved becomes a visible gap on your wheel.

STEP 3

Remediate with guidance

Every gap becomes a task with practical guidance: what the document must contain, who should own it, what approval it needs — with templates where they help.

STEP 4

Stay current

Documents expire. Encircle knows each document’s review cycle and reminds the right owner before it lapses — your score reflects today, not last year’s audit.
