ComplyGrid — Compliance OS for Government Contractors

ComplyGrid is the compliance operating system for government contractors and regulated companies. It brings together the three systems that a small or mid government contractor normally runs in parallel — corporate governance and equity, government-contract operations and timekeeping, and multi-framework compliance — into one auditable system of record.

The goal is simple: a CFO, a contracts manager, and a compliance officer should be able to answer any auditor’s question without opening more than one platform.

The challenge

Small and mid government contractors are penalized twice by the software market. They are too small to afford enterprise GRC and ERP suites; they are too regulated to survive on spreadsheets. So they end up running a patchwork: one tool for cap table and board, another for timekeeping and contract billing, a third (or none) for compliance monitoring, and a SharePoint folder for everything else. The patchwork costs five-figure SaaS bills, creates audit risk, and consumes finance and contracts hours that should be going into proposals.

What the rest of the industry does

• Cap-table software handles equity well and stops there.
• GovCon ERP suites handle timekeeping and contract billing well, are expensive, and assume an enterprise implementation budget.
• Enterprise GRC platforms are designed for large enterprises and price accordingly. Most small contractors cannot justify them.
• Spreadsheets and SharePoint are the default at most early-stage contractors and drive a significant share of audit findings.

The Zorost advantage

• One platform, three jobs. Corporate governance, government-contract operations, and compliance in one auditable system, instead of three.
• DCAA-style by design. Timekeeping, cost-accounting separation, indirect-rate logic, and audit trails are native to the data model, not a module bolted on top of generic timesheets.
• AI assistance, not AI replacement. Copilots help extract obligations from contracts, flag compliance gaps, summarize policies, draft board reports, and answer auditor questions — with citations into source documents.
• Built for the right size of buyer. Production-ready breadth without enterprise procurement overhead. Materially lower total cost of ownership than the best-of-breed stack it typically replaces.
• Opportunity-aware. Federal opportunity-discovery and bid-preparation workflows are integrated with contract execution and reporting.

How we approach it

ComplyGrid is structured as one platform with three integrated surfaces. The corporate surface covers cap table, board, committees, and equity events. The government-contract surface covers timekeeping, expense, contract execution, modifications, and reporting. The compliance surface ties frameworks, controls, evidence, and obligations to the underlying contracts and corporate events that generate them.

On top of that sits an AI assistance layer. Document intelligence reads contracts and extracts obligations into the compliance surface. A multi-provider model layer means sensitive workflows can be routed to a model and deployment posture appropriate for the data class. The platform always cites the source documents an answer is based on, so a reviewer can verify the AI’s reasoning instead of trusting it.

Capability categories

• Corporate & equity — cap table, board, committees, equity events, and document vault.
• Timekeeping — DCAA-style timesheets with approvals and immutable audit logs.
• Contracts — repository, obligation extraction, modifications, and reporting.
• Compliance — framework mapping (SOC 2, NIST families, GovCon-relevant controls), evidence collection, and gap analysis.
• Opportunity discovery — federal opportunity scouting and bid preparation tied to the same data model.
• AI copilots — contract Q&A, compliance gap analysis, board-report drafting, audit-question response.
• Audit trail — immutable change logs across every surface, suitable for external audit.

Who it is for

• Small and mid government contractors scaling beyond spreadsheets.
• SBA-certified small businesses entering or expanding federal contracting.
• Regulated companies that need integrated corporate, contract, and compliance reporting.

Frequently asked questions

Is ComplyGrid an ERP?

No. ComplyGrid is a compliance operating system. It integrates with the financial side of a customer’s stack and replaces the cap-table, GovCon timekeeping, and compliance tools that small contractors typically run in parallel.

Is it DCAA-compliant?

The timekeeping and cost-accounting workflows are designed to meet DCAA expectations: immutable audit logs, edit-history retention, daily entry requirements, supervisor approval, and clean separation of direct and indirect time. Final compliance always depends on how a customer configures and operates the system.

Can it host sensitive data?

Yes. ComplyGrid supports private-tenant deployment for customers with data-residency or sovereignty requirements.
