Why NVector
You are choosing between doing nothing, doing it in spreadsheets, buying a global GRC suite, or buying us. Here is how those actually compare, and the questions we get asked when the conversation gets serious.
Global suites sell you an empty framework engine and then a consulting project to fill it. NVector arrives with the regulatory content already written and already mapped, which is why it is useful on day one rather than in year two.
Cross-framework mapping is not a module you switch on. It is how the data is shaped, which is why coverage cascades correctly, why partial coverage stays honest, and why adding a framework starts partly complete.
Quoted in Rupees, billed annually, with a permanently free tier for microfinance banks and DFIs. A small institution carries the same obligations as a large one and a fraction of the budget; pricing that ignores this simply excludes them.
| Do nothing | Spreadsheets | Global GRC suite | NVector | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Licence cost | None | None | USD 200k–2m / year | PKR, free tier available |
| Set-up time | n/a | Ongoing forever | 12–24 months | Same day |
| Local regulatory content | — | You write it | Not included | Pre-built |
| Effort per additional framework | — | Starts from zero | New configuration project | Starts partly complete |
| Examination readiness | Fire drill | Fire drill | Good | Report, not project |
| Regulatory exposure | Unmanaged | Depends on one person | Managed | Managed, with the clock built in |
| On-premise / air-gapped | n/a | n/a | Rarely offered | Both supported |
These are the four places customers tell us the hours disappear today. They are also the four the platform is built to remove.
The same control maintained separately for each framework that asks for it.
Reconstructing, from email and shared drives, proof of something that was genuinely done.
Rebuilding the same board pack every quarter from data that already exists.
Weeks of scramble before an examiner arrives, because the position was never continuously maintained.
Spreadsheets are fine at recording a position and hopeless at maintaining one. They cannot cascade a control across frameworks, cannot enforce who may open a penetration test report, cannot start a regulatory countdown, and cannot show an examiner who changed a decision two years ago. You do not lose the spreadsheets — the baseline you have already built is exactly what gets loaded in week one.
Then it does not. NVector runs on-premise in your own data centre, or fully air-gapped with no internet connection at all. These are supported deployment models, not special cases, and the AI features can be removed entirely or run against a locally hosted model.
Ask us properly. We will complete your security questionnaire in full, walk your team through the architecture, and support a penetration test against a dedicated environment before you commit. We hold no third-party security certification today and we will not imply otherwise — a compliance vendor overstating its own assurance is the wrong place to begin.
Frameworks live in the database, not in application code. When a circular is amended, the requirement set is updated as data and the existing mappings tell you which of your controls are affected. Your historical evidence stays attached.
It is less work in aggregate and different work at the start. Establishing the baseline takes effort in the first weeks. After that, one update maintains several frameworks instead of several updates maintaining one each — which is precisely the arithmetic that makes a small team viable against a growing pile of obligations.
Your data is yours. Controls, evidence, risks, incidents and the audit trail can be exported. We would rather compete on whether the product is worth keeping than on how painful it is to leave.
Bring your security questionnaire, your framework list and your worst objection. That is a better first meeting than a demo script.
