EthosOne is governance, risk and compliance (GRC) software built specifically for independent schools. It replaces spreadsheets and manual processes with structured tools for compliance calendars, risk management, board reporting and assurance workflows.

Who is EthosOne designed for?

EthosOne is purpose-built for independent school principals, business managers and boards across Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

How is EthosOne different from generic GRC software?

Unlike generic compliance tools, EthosOne is built exclusively for the independent school sector. It includes pre-loaded state-based compliance calendars, school-specific risk frameworks and board reporting modules designed for how school governance actually works.

How quickly can a school get started?

EthosOne is designed to be board-ready within 30 days of onboarding. State-based compliance calendars and risk frameworks are pre-structured and ready to assign from day one.

Didn't expect that, did you?

Governing from memory is a risk in itself.

Spreadsheets, last year's pack, one person's head. The board sees noise, not what matters.

The pack rebuilds from scratch every cycle.
The register goes stale between meetings.
The blind spot lands on you, not the spreadsheet.

Built with schools, for schools. ISO 31000 risk, source-matched policy, live board reporting.

Governance infrastructure, built for independent schools

The plan

Three steps. One clear path.

State-Aligned Compliance

Obligations are assigned, tracked and reportable.

We embed compliance calendars directly from each state independent school association - NSW ISA, AIS, VIC, QLD - eliminating manual tracking and ensuring nothing gets missed.

Nothing sits passively in a spreadsheet.
