STREAM® GRC Platform
STREAM® is the cyber GRC platform from Acuity Risk Management — available in two editions, STREAM® Cloud and STREAM® Classic, to match your programme maturity, operational complexity, and deployment requirements.
Last updated: 19 May 2026
Why two editions?
Programme maturity
Not every organisation is at the same stage. STREAM® Cloud is designed for teams at early-to-intermediate programme maturity who need a structured starting point, while STREAM® Classic serves advanced-to-mature programmes that demand deep configurability and automation.
Operational complexity
Some teams need a lightweight, guided approach to cyber risk management. Others operate at enterprise scale with complex, multi-layered requirements. Two editions ensure the right fit without compromise.
Deployment and security requirements
STREAM® Cloud offers fast, cloud-based deployment. STREAM® Classic provides on-prem deployment for organisations with air-gapped deployment requirements or a preference for hosting on their own infrastructure.
