Two short videos
A quick tour of the whole program, and why Plinth starts with your answers instead of your documents.
How Plinth works
One set of answers, every location, gaps, policies, the compliance calendar, signatures and reports.
Plinth flips the script
Why answering questions first, and letting the policies follow, beats writing documents first.
A different approach
Plinth Flips the Script
For decades, compliance has started with documents. Plinth starts with the facts, so your policies describe how your organization actually works.
The usual way
Documents first, then rewrites
- Develop policies
- Develop procedures
- Find gaps
- Update policies
- Update procedures
- Remediate
- Adopt policies and procedures
The documents are written before anyone knows what is true, then rewritten every time something changes.
The Plinth way
Facts first, documents follow
- Answer questions
- Find gaps
- Remediate
- Policies and procedures, generated from your answers
Change an answer and the affected policy is updated and flagged for approval again. Nobody rewrites it by hand.
Your answer becomes your policy
Answer “What is the password standard?” with “14+ characters or passphrase,” and the policy gains the procedure “Adopt a passphrase standard of 14 or more characters,” with the decision recorded as implemented. Every policy is built this way, then approved by electronic signature.
What Plinth does
Everything Your Compliance Program Needs
From the first question to the auditor’s request, the whole program runs in one place.
Answer once
Plain-language questions, each explained. A shared answer counts in every program it applies to, so nothing is asked twice.
Every location
Answer organization-wide once. Each entity answers only what is different, with its own score and a combined score for the organization.
Plinth Assist AI
Ask what a question means or how a rule applies, and get a plain-language answer. Your information is never used to train AI models.
Gaps that close
Every answer is scored. Each gap gets an owner, a due date and an email reminder, and closes when its answer becomes compliant.
Policies from answers
Policies and procedures are written from what you answered and approved by electronic signature. They come back for approval when an answer changes.
Compliance calendar
Your answers set the recurring duties: reviews, tests and reminders. Proof is kept for each period, alongside your registers and logs.
Electronic signatures
Send officer designations, agreements and acknowledgments for signature, or upload copies signed on paper.
Evidence on record
Screenshots, reports and signed forms stay with the question they support. Every upload and removal is kept.
Audit-ready reports
Who changed what, and when, is kept for every answer. Reports are ready for your team, your leadership, and partners or insurers.
One assessment, many programs
Privacy, Security and IT Programs
Plinth runs the programs your organization answers to from the same set of answers.
Security and privacy
Built to Be Trusted
A compliance tool should hold itself to the same standard it helps you meet.
Access by role
Assign people to a whole organization or to a single entity.
Two-step sign-in
An authenticator code for every user, and sessions that end when idle.
Hosted on Microsoft Azure
In the United States, encrypted in transit.
No patient data
Plinth holds compliance answers, never protected health information.
AI that never trains
Your information is never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else’s.
Never overwritten
Every record is versioned and backed up before each update.
