Does MetricStream provide pre-built connectors?

Yes. MetricStream offers ready-to-use connectors for commonly used GRC, IT, security, regulatory, and third-party systems, along with tools to configure additional integrations.

Are the APIs provided by MetricStream bidirectional?

Yes. MetricStream APIs support secure inbound and outbound data exchange, enabling records, signals, issues, actions, and workflow updates to move between systems.

Can integrations run on a schedule or in response to events?

Yes. Integrations can run on a set schedule, such as a nightly sync of vendor records. They can also run in response to an event, such as a new security incident, creating a risk review automatically. Integrations can also run on demand when a user triggers them, or in bulk to move large volumes of data at once, for example, during initial setup. The options available depend on the specific connector and the systems involved.

What is MCP support in MetricStream?

MetricStream’s MCP Gateway direction supports governed connectivity between MetricStream AI capabilities and approved external agents or systems. It is designed to help AI-enabled workflows interact with enterprise tools while maintaining access controls, transparency, and auditability.

How do integrations support AI agents?

Integrations provide AI agents with up-to-date enterprise signals and enable them to initiate approved actions across systems. The connected context engine maps those signals to relevant GRC relationships before recommendations or actions are generated.

Amplifying GRC Outcomes Across the Enterprise

“We had quite an intensive request for proposal with different vendors, and at the end of the road, we chose MetricStream... What is for us very important in KBC is that we have a solution which is very user friendly.”

Tomeo Dekock

KBC

“We have implemented the operational risk management software for conducting risk assessments, managing issues, and loss events. MetricStream SOX management helps us track adherence to various SOX processes. And we use internal audit module to manage audit artifacts and triage issues through streamlined workflows.”

Better GRC Decisions, Powered by Connected Integrations

Prioritize Risk Treatment by Connecting Risk Signals to Enterprise & Operational Risk

Connecting risk data from GRC tools, financial systems, incident logs, and operational applications directly into MetricStream gives the risk team a consolidated view of exposure. Map risk signals to key risk indicators, controls, business processes, and risk owners so leadership can assess exposure and prioritize treatment across the enterprise.

Strengthen Cyber Remediation by Linking Security Data to IT & Cyber Risk & Compliance

Connect vulnerability management, endpoint, cloud, application-security, identity, and threat-intelligence tools alongside trusted regulatory sources, CMDBs, and ITSM platforms to bring relevant findings, regulatory developments, and asset data into governed GRC workflows. Map these signals to affected assets, risks, controls, regulations, owners, and audit findings so teams can prioritize remediation, compliance action, and audit testing by exposure and impact, and not just technical severity or manual triage.

Drive Proactive Compliance by Turning Regulatory Alerts Into Action

Connect trusted regulatory sources, content providers, RSS feeds, and internal content systems to regulatory monitoring workflows. Map developments to relevant regulations, requirements, policies, controls, risks, business units, and accountable owners to support triage, impact analysis, and follow-up.

Power Continuous Internal Audit With Connected Data for Greater Assurance

Connect ERP, financial, HR, and operational systems directly to MetricStream to feed continuous audit programs and provide continuous visibility into risk and control data. Map transactional and operational data to audit universe entities, risks, and controls so audit teams can run continuous monitoring, flag exceptions, and prioritize fieldwork based on real-time risk signals.

Accelerate Audit Efficiency by Automating Evidence Gathering and Control Testing

Connect source systems directly to MetricStream to automatically pull evidence for control testing, including system configurations, access logs, transaction samples, and approval records. Map evidence to the relevant controls, testing procedures, and control owners, enabling teams to execute continuous control monitoring and reduce reliance on manual sampling and screenshots.

Act Early on Third-Party Risk by Aligning Third-Party Intelligence to Risk Programs

Bring vendor ratings, sanctions data, financial information, adverse media, ESG signals, and cybersecurity intelligence into every stage of the third-party relationship. Connect third-party intelligence providers to enrich due diligence, assessments, continuous monitoring, vendor reviews, issues, and remediation workflows with the current external context.

Explore Integrations and APIs

Improve Resilience Readiness by Integrating Operational Data to Resilience Programs

Connect crisis communication systems, incident management tools, and business continuity platforms into MetricStream for real-time visibility into incidents, crisis events, and critical process health. Map incidents, recovery plans, critical business services, and dependencies to resilience programs so teams can test, execute, and report on continuity with confidence.

Traditional GRC Integration Approach vs. MetricStream GRC Integration and APIs

Integration Capability

Traditional Integration Approach

MetricStream Integration and APIs

Out-of-the-Box Connectors

Teams build and maintain point-to-point integrations for every new system

No-code connectors deploy in minutes for CMDBs, vulnerability scanners, ticketing, third-party monitoring, and crisis communication systems

GRC APIs

External systems have no standard, secure way to push data into risk and compliance tools

200+ built-in, OpenAPI-compliant REST APIs with a built-in scheduler handle bulk, on-demand, or event-driven data.

Custom Connectors

Custom integrations need lengthy, one-off development for each new source system

REST and Kafka patterns map, transform, and load data into risks, controls, and assets, with logs and exception reports

Content Integration Service

Regulatory, ESG, and third-party content is pulled manually or reviewed in separate portals

Scheduled REST pulls bring risk, compliance, audit, security, and ESG content from trusted providers into MetricStream

What MetricStream Integration Makes Possible

GRC-Ready Connectors

Faster deployment at lower cost with ready-to-use, standards-based connectors for common risk, compliance, audit, cyber, and third-party systems.

GRC APIs

Schedule data exchange with MetricStream libraries, records, workflows, and products using built-in OpenAPI-based APIs with auto-generated validations.

Bidirectional Exchange

Bring data into MetricStream and send decisions, issues, actions, and updates back to operational systems.

Contextual Mapping

Convert raw signals into connected GRC intelligence by mapping them to the records and relationships that matter.

Agent Orchestration

Link external and MetricStream agents through governed, traceable workflows, for example, turning a security alert into a risk review, issue, and notification.

Standards-Based Architecture

Reduce integration complexity with OpenAPI-compliant REST services, Kafka patterns, schedulers, and monitoring, tailored to your business and system needs.
