Simplif-i Platform Architecture: The Engineering of an Operational Underpinning
A technical breakdown of the Simplif-i architecture. Discover how 200+ API endpoints and 61 database collections create a unified operational nervous system for the mid-market.
Most GRC vendors sell you a "wrapper." We built an operating system.
Following my London session with Michael Rasmussen, I am releasing the full technical breakdown of the Simplif-i platform. We are moving beyond "features" into Architectural Integrity.
While the competition relies on 10-15 database collections and a few dozen endpoints, Simplif-i is engineered for structural maturity. Our platform is a hardened, microservices-based engine designed to underpin the entire business operation.
The Master Architecture: A Unified Nervous System
Simplif-i is not a collection of siloed tools; it is an Integrated Data Orchestra. Our architecture connects Governance, Risk, and Compliance to your Contracts, PMO, M&A, and Company Secretary modules at the data level.
Structural Depth by the Numbers:
- 200+ API Endpoints: Enabling deep, automated integration across all business functions.
- 61 Discrete Database Collections: A level of data granularity that ensures no risk "falls through the cracks."
- 9 Integrated Modules: Including a first-of-its-kind AI Ethics enforcement layer.
Key Cross-Module Connections
The real power of the platform lies in the Data Flow. We have engineered over 50 automated handshakes between modules:
- Risk to Governance: Risks identify framework control gaps in real-time.
- Data Breach to Risk: Every security incident automatically routes to the Master Risk Register.
- AI Incidents to Board Pack: High-severity AI bias or tone breaches are escalated directly to executive reporting.
- Vendor Non-Conformance to GRC: Third-party performance issues automatically impact your internal compliance score.
Engineering Maturity: Beyond the "Startup" Label
To silence the "early startup" narrative, we have released our hardened functional specs:
- AI Governance (10 Collections): Including automated Bias Audits, Model Cards, and Guardrail Logs.
- Vendor Lifecycle (12 Collections): Controlling everything from onboarding checklists to SLA threshold monitoring.
- Double-Yes Validation: A dual-LLM QA process that ensures every AI output is accurate and ethical before delivery.
The Commercial Reality of Unification
Disconnected tools are a liability. Simplif-i provides the bones that keep your operation standing.
We are currently in the Founding Member phase (£149/month). This is not just a subscription; it is early access to the most mature operational architecture in the mid-market.
