Riskamy vs eramba
Two self-hosted options. One is a GRC suite you configure; the other is a risk program that runs itself.
Updated 10 October 2026
eramba is a broad GRC suite: risk, compliance, policies, audits and more, with notifications and scheduled reports. Riskamy is a risk program that runs itself. Tag an incident and the score moves, the owner is asked to reassess, reminders and escalations follow, and leadership gets a written AI briefing, using the model you choose, including one that runs fully offline.
Side by side
| Riskamy | eramba | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Enterprise risk management that runs itself | A general GRC suite: risk, compliance, controls, policies, incidents, privacy, awareness |
| Deployment | Self-hosted on your servers or cloud account | Self-hosted, or SaaS hosted by eramba in the EU or US |
| Offline | Connect a model on your own hardware and nothing leaves your network | eramba says it cannot run fully offline; it needs outbound access to its support server |
| When an incident happens | Tag it and the risk score updates straight away; owners past appetite are asked to reassess | Failed control tests flag linked risks; reviews run on their schedule |
| Chasing | Reminders and escalation to a manager, on your schedule | Warning emails before reviews, scheduled reports, overdue statuses |
| AI | Built-in AI briefings and plain-English questions, with Claude, OpenAI, DeepSeek or an offline model | No built-in AI. An experimental, read-only MCP connector for your own AI client (Enterprise) |
| Getting started | Upload your spreadsheet, approve the mapping, switch the automations on | Courses and paid implementation workshops; eramba says 70% of customers without assistance will likely delay implementation by up to 12 months |
| Pricing | One flat fee. No limits on users, risks, registers or instances | Tiered: a limited community edition and annual enterprise subscriptions |
Why choose Riskamy over eramba
- The risk program runs itself. Incidents move scores, owners are asked to reassess, reminders and escalations follow, without anyone building workflows first.
- The briefing is already written. Leadership gets a plain-English summary of what rose, what fell, who is late and what needs a decision.
- Your AI, fully offline if you want. Riskamy works with the model you choose, including one on your own hardware, so nothing has to leave your network.
- Start from your spreadsheet, not a project. Bring the register you already have; Riskamy maps it and you approve each step.
- Everyone in, one flat fee. No limits on users, so every risk owner, manager and executive can take part without a per-seat bill.
