Visit Website ↗ + Add to Compare Claim This CompanyOverview
Quod Orbis, founded in 2018 and based in London, automates continuous controls monitoring, giving security teams real-time visibility into whether controls operate as intended rather than relying on point-in-time audits. It has been acquired by Deda Group, which provides backing to scale beyond its UK base.
Its focus on continuous, automated evidencing of controls for compliance frameworks distinguishes it from broader GRC suites, though its market footprint remains modest.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Continuous controls monitoring is a real but incremental innovation on top of established GRC and compliance-audit practices.
The platform has documented production use with real customer reviews on Gartner Peer Insights, indicating genuine operational deployment.
Recognized in Cyber Defense Media Group's 2025 Global InfoSec Awards (1 award), and validated financially by its 2024 acquisition by Deda Group.
Automating continuous controls monitoring differentiates Quod Orbis from manual, periodic audit approaches, though it competes within an established GRC tooling market.
Public Gartner Peer Insights reviews provide some independent evidence of real-world use, though the company's scale remains modest.
Backing from Deda Group supports continuity, but the company's relatively small footprint leaves long-term market position less certain than larger GRC incumbents.
Why CISOs Should Care
Quod Orbis automates continuous controls monitoring, giving CISOs real-time visibility into whether security controls are actually operating as intended, rather than relying on point-in-time audits. Its acquisition by Deda Group gives it added financial backing to scale beyond its original UK base.
What Makes It Different
Quod Orbis focuses specifically on continuous, automated monitoring and evidencing of security controls for compliance frameworks, differentiating it from broader GRC suites that treat controls monitoring as a secondary feature.
The Matrix Verdict
52/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A focused CCM specialist with a credible UK customer base, now backed by a larger parent group, though its overall market footprint remains modest relative to larger GRC platforms.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Quod Orbis markets "automated" continuous assurance; independently verified facts here are limited to founding date, headquarters, and the 2024 Deda Group acquisition, not internal automation-coverage statistics.
