View Past Reports Always

Even if you don't renew, you can still view past assessment reports and action plans.

Higher Levels Include Lower

Higher maturity frameworks include all content from lower levels. No need to maintain both.

Why is GovernApp a SaaS Platform?

Unlimited Assessments

No limit on how many assessments or reviews you can run, allowing continuous benchmarking and improvement across periods.

Living Action Plans

Update and track action plans, assign responsibilities, and monitor progress over time with built-in accountability.

Assessment History

Securely retain assessment history, giving you clear visibility into improvements made across assessments as your maturity develops.

Automated Certificates

Automatically generate certificates of good governance to demonstrate accountability to funders, regulators, and the public.

Cloud-Based Access

Access anywhere with an internet connection. No installation, maintenance, or manual updates required.

Secure & Private

Enterprise-grade security protects your governance data. Individual responses remain completely private to each participant.

Pricing Questions

Everything you need to know about our pricing model.

No. Registering your organisation and all your users with GovernApp is completely free. There is no per-user charge, meaning your entire board can participate in assessments at no extra cost.

GovernApp enables Boards to establish strong governance foundations from week one. The one-year initial term reflects the full value delivered and ensures fair pricing for all customers by preventing short-term use-and-cancel patterns that would undermine sustainability.

Yes. After your first year with a framework, you'll have the option to move to monthly billing. This supports further assessments, ongoing action plan updates, access to the latest compliance requirements, and more.

No. Higher maturity level frameworks include all the content of their lower-level variants. Advancing to a higher maturity level does not require you to maintain the lower-level framework as well.

If you choose not to renew a framework subscription, you can still view past assessment reports and action plans. However, you will not be able to update action plans or run new assessments with that framework.

Absolutely. Organisations can subscribe to as many frameworks as they like. Each framework serves different governance needs and use cases, so you can select the specific frameworks most useful to your circumstances.
