- The CBN has mandated all regulated institutions complete the Cybersecurity Self-Assessment Tool (CSAT). RiskCanvasIQ is the only Nigerian-built platform with a dedicated CSAT Readiness Module.
Africa’s FSI GRC Platform.
Stay Compliant.
Stay Ahead.
RiskCanvasIQ is a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform purpose-built for financial services institutions across Africa.
It helps regulated institutions assess their cybersecurity posture against multiple regulatory frameworks and jurisdictions, track remediation of control gaps, manage evidence and attestations, and leverage AI-powered intelligence to accelerate the compliance journey— in one platform.
Compliance in African financial services is getting harder, not easier.
Between Data Protection Act (DPA) obligations, regulatory penalties, deadlines, and growing AML/CFT scrutiny — most teams are still managing it all across spreadsheets, shared drives, and email threads.
01
Fragmented evidence
Compliance documents scattered across teams, no central audit trail when regulators come calling.
02
Missed deadlines
No early warning when a control is overdue, a certificate expires, or a frameworks domain falls below threshold.
03
No board visibility
Senior leaders flying blind — no real-time risk dashboards or framework-level scorecards for the board.
One platform for every compliance obligation you carry.
RiskCanvasIQ is a Nigerian-built GRC platform designed from the ground up for regulated financial services institutions (FSI) in Africa. Map your controls to every major framework, surface compliance gaps in real time, and give your risk team and board a single source of truth.

“The gap analysis alone was worth it. We identified three critical control failures before our CBN examination — and had the evidence to show we’d already remediated them.”
