Pirani

Overview

Pirani is cloud-based risk management software for organizations that need to identify, monitor, and mitigate risks across several disciplines. It is strongest for teams that want operational risk and information security alongside compliance, anti-money laundering, and audit in one product. Its free plan can get a small team started, but the 200-record ceiling makes scale an early consideration.

Key features

Operational risk tools include dashboards, heat maps, indicators, reports, and event reporting. Quantitative analysis, custom risk fields, and workflow automation give teams ways to structure risk work, while board-ready reporting can help communicate findings beyond the risk function. The breadth is useful for organizations coordinating several risk disciplines; it may be more than a team seeking a narrow, single-purpose tool needs.

For information security, Pirani supports risk identification, assessment, mitigation, incident logging, and information-asset management. It says the software supports ISO 27001, ISO 27002, NIST, and COBIT. That makes it relevant to teams aligning security work with those standards, but it does not establish that every standard-specific process is automated.

Customer data is stored in AWS RDS and S3, with encryption at rest and automatic backups. Pirani says its privacy processes are based on ISO 27001 and that users can access only their own account data; its site displays SOC 2 Type II, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 27001:2022 badges. Support requests, improvement suggestions, and incident reports go through the Help Center, while Pirani Club offers on-demand courses and software workshops.

Pricing

Pirani is freemium, with paid plans from $276/mo (annual). The Free plan costs nothing and includes 200 records, 5 user seats, 1 heat map report, and 2.5 GB of cloud storage. Records include documented macro-processes, processes, sub-processes, risks, controls, and action plans, so the cap can cover more than just individual risks. This plan suits a small team validating its needs, but its limited seats, storage, and single report allowance constrain broader use.

Starter is the step up for teams that need more records or seats without increasing storage or heat-map reporting. Basic adds three times Starter's records, six reports, and 10 GB of storage, making it a better fit for teams with broader reporting needs. Enterprise raises the record allowance to 4,000 and storage to 50 GB, with six graphical and dynamic reports; its API event creation and Active Directory SAML 2.0 integrations also suit organizations needing those connections. The Free plan and the plan allowances do not establish the length or renewal terms of a trial.

Platforms

Pirani runs in the cloud and supports web, Android, iOS, and API access. That range suits teams working across browsers and mobile devices, as well as organizations integrating through its API.

Who it's for

Pirani presents itself for small businesses, medium-sized businesses, and large corporations across multiple industries. In practice, its tiered record, seat, reporting, and storage allowances offer a path from a small team to larger operations, though the paid plans' custom pricing means buyers should confirm cost before committing. It is less compelling for teams whose needs fit within the Free plan or that only want to manage one risk discipline.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Covers operational risk, information security, compliance, anti-money laundering, and audit in one cloud product, which can suit organizations coordinating risk work across functions.
• Pros: Free includes 200 records and five seats, giving a small team a meaningful starting allowance.
• Pros: Higher plans add unlimited seats, more records, reports, and storage; Enterprise includes API event creation and Active Directory SAML 2.0.
• Cons: Free is capped at 200 records, five seats, one heat map report, and 2.5 GB storage, which can make it restrictive as risk documentation grows.
• Cons: Paid plans use custom pricing, so organizations cannot compare their costs from the plan allowances alone.

Alternatives

Eramba is worth considering for organizations that want a free, open, self-hosted option or prefer a Linux deployment; Pirani is the cloud choice. EasyRisk may suit a team prioritizing unlimited risks on its free plan, though that tier is limited to one risk board, one editor, and one attachment per risk; unlike Pirani, it has no free trial. For a paid option with Android, iOS, Mac, and web support, consider Riskware. IsoMetrix is another paid option, with web, mobile, API, and self-hosted platforms. Qualsys EQMS is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, and web support. Resolver Investigations offers paid investigation case management with quote-based pricing. ShipManager Crewing is a paid alternative for Android, iOS, and web. Ncontracts offers paid risk and compliance solutions, with pricing requiring a demo or contact.

Verdict

Choose Pirani if your organization needs one cloud service for multiple risk disciplines and can grow within its record, reporting, and storage tiers. Its breadth, structured operational-risk tools, and free starting plan are the strongest reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need a narrow tool, require more room than the Free plan allows without moving to custom-priced plans, or need public paid-plan prices to compare before engaging a vendor.
