GOAT Risk review
A broad risk and controls toolkit with monthly plans starting at £30.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GOAT Risk brings risk registers, control assessments, incident reporting, and action tracking into a cloud platform for organisations managing business risks. Its mix of configurable risk templates, scoring, and board committee summaries can suit small teams that need structured reviews without starting with an enterprise-priced plan. It also serves mid-market and enterprise organisations through higher tiers with expanded scale and assurance capabilities.
The published monthly GBP plans start with Starter at £30, which includes core GOAT Risk essentials. Standard is £150 and adds more scale; Standard Plus is £240 and adds more profiles and users. Enterprise costs £450 and includes exports to .xls, .ppt, and .doc, an annual system health check, and multi-admin. Enterprise PRO is £660, adding advanced search, custom scope reporting, an editable risk universe, control library and listing, and editable heat-map. Control assessments, assessment workflows and access controls, and reporting assurance mapping are in Enterprise PRO + Control Assurance at £750 per month; single sign-on is available for an additional fee.
For internal controls work, the product's meaningful distinction is its dedicated control assurance tier: control risk self-assessments and effectiveness assessments support review processes, while owners, deadlines, and email reminders connect findings to actions. It also includes risk escalation and board committee reporting. The platform is cloud-based, with email support, and the listed compliance items include SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, two-factor authentication, and SSO/SAML. Teams seeking a low-cost way to organise risk and control reviews may find the lower tiers relevant; organisations requiring control assurance workflows need to budget for the £750 tier. Buyers who depend on evidence collection or automated testing should compare alternatives, since those capabilities are not part of the described feature set.
