The GRC Trade-off
GRC Complexity
Full GRC platforms like LogicGate offer breadth but require significant configuration, dedicated teams, and enterprise-level budgets. For AI governance alone, this is often overkill.
Cost Efficiency
LogicGate costs $50K+ annually. PolicyGuard starts at $2,400/year. If AI governance is your primary need, a focused tool is more cost-effective.
Faster Time to Value
PolicyGuard deploys in days with ready-to-use AI policy templates. LogicGate requires weeks to months of configuration and customization.
Focused vs Comprehensive
LogicGate can do AI governance as part of a broader GRC program. PolicyGuard does AI governance specifically, with purpose-built features.
