Risk, compliance, and third-party management in one platform
Clarity is Blackfoot's managed GRC platform that brings risk, compliance, and third-party management into one structured environment.
It replaces the spreadsheets, shared drives, and disconnected trackers that make GRC harder to manage as activity grows. Risks, controls, evidence, actions, suppliers, and responsibilities are connected in one place, with clear ownership and a current view of what needs attention.
We configure Clarity around how you already work, rather than forcing you into a fixed methodology. Your team can run Clarity directly, use Blackfoot for specific consultancy or assurance work, or combine the two as an ongoing managed GRC service.
Clarity supports risk management, compliance, and third-party risk as its core areas, with wider capability for assessments, controls, evidence, issues, incidents, projects, custom registers, and other GRC activity.

What it does
Risk management
Maintain live risk registers, structured assessments, treatment plans, ownership, and review cycles, with risks linked to the controls that help manage them.
Compliance management
Manage frameworks, controls, assessments, evidence, and recurring compliance activity throughout the year rather than rebuilding the picture before each review.
Third-party risk management
Maintain supplier records, apply risk-based tiering, issue assessments, track findings, and manage ongoing reassessment.
Controls and evidence
Connect controls to risks, compliance requirements, and supporting evidence so related GRC activity is not managed in separate places.
Workflow and ownership
Assign responsibilities, actions, and recurring tasks, with reminders and notifications helping keep activity moving.
Dashboards and reporting
Maintain a current view of risk, compliance, and third-party assurance, with reporting that supports management oversight and external assurance activity.
From disconnected activity to one operating view
Most organisations already have the individual parts of a GRC programme. The problem is that they are often managed separately. A risk may sit in one register, the control that reduces it somewhere else, the supporting evidence in a shared folder, and the resulting action in another tracker. Supplier findings and compliance activity can be managed in entirely different processes again.
Clarity brings those relationships together so you can see how risks, controls, requirements, suppliers, evidence, and actions connect, rather than managing each as a separate piece of information.
Choose the level of support you need
Clarity Managed Platform is not tied to one delivery model.
If you have the capability internally, your team can operate it directly. If you need specialist input, Blackfoot supports specific areas such as risk assessment, compliance, supplier assurance, or programme design. And where you want more hands-on support, Clarity can underpin an ongoing managed GRC service.
That gives you flexibility to use the technology on its own, add expertise where it helps, or combine both without changing platform.
A working platform, not a blank system
Moving away from spreadsheets should make GRC easier to run, not replace one administrative burden with another.
We configure and onboard Clarity around your existing processes, data, and responsibilities, so you are not left with an empty system and a lengthy implementation exercise. Existing risks, controls, suppliers, evidence, and assessment outputs can be brought into Clarity, including work already completed with Blackfoot.
Workflow, ownership, recurring activity, and reminders then help keep the programme moving without everything depending on manual chasing. If you want more support, Blackfoot can take on more of the operational work too.
Less spreadsheet pain. Less platform overhead.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what prospective clients ask us most.
Can we use Clarity without an ongoing managed service?
Yes. Your team can operate Clarity directly, with Blackfoot providing configuration, onboarding, and support, and our consultants available for specific work. If you want us to take a more active role, the same platform supports an ongoing managed GRC service.
Do we have to adopt Blackfoot's methodology?
No. We configure Clarity around your existing approach to risk, compliance, and third-party risk management. If your current processes work well, we reflect them in Clarity. If there are gaps or inconsistencies, we can help you improve them as part of implementation.
Can we bring our existing data into Clarity?
Yes. Existing risks, controls, suppliers, evidence, and assessment outputs can be brought into Clarity rather than recreated from scratch. Where Blackfoot has already carried out work such as a risk assessment, compliance gap analysis, or supplier assessment, relevant outputs can also be used to give you a stronger starting point.
Can we start with one area and add others later?
Yes. You can begin with risk management, compliance, or third-party risk management and expand into other areas when you need them. Because the same platform supports all three, you can build a more connected GRC environment over time without moving to another system.
What else can Clarity manage?
Risk, compliance, and third-party risk management are the main areas, but Clarity can also support wider GRC activity, including controls, assessments, evidence, tasks, issues, incidents, projects, playbooks, and custom registers.
Do extra users cost more?
No. We include unlimited client users, so control owners, risk owners, and task assignees can work directly in Clarity without per-user charges.
Is Clarity a software licence we buy?
No. Blackfoot provides Clarity as a managed platform rather than a standalone software licence. Your team can still operate the platform directly and manage the day-to-day GRC activity yourselves. Blackfoot provides the platform, configuration, and support, with additional consultancy or managed GRC support available where needed.
