Why Context GRC
Context GRC is an automation-first compliance platform built for NERC CIP entities and smaller utilities, to help them both preserve and produce business value. It preserves value with a secure, local architecture that keeps sensitive data inside your network by default, and guards against compliance drift. It produces value by acting as a force multiplier for lean staff, automating compliance work so teams can spend more of their hours on reliable, secure grid operations.

About GoEvolve
The GoEvolve brand dates back more than 25 years as an independent technology and security venture. After a long pause, it was revived to build Context GRC: a compliance platform made for the people who actually run electric utilities.
GoEvolve LLC is a founder-led company based in Washington State. That keeps decisions close to the product, and it is why the license agreement addresses continuity directly.
Standards participation reflects the founder's individual service. Context GRC is a GoEvolve product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by NERC, the ESCC, DOE, NIST, or any employer.
