Maple GRC is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform built to address the pressing challenges of managing cybersecurity in cloud-based and digital organizations. The platform, developed using the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), demonstrates the Continuous, Dynamic, and Adaptive (CDA) Cybersecurity Framework. The DSRM requirements phase was informed by peer-reviewed papers addressing cybersecurity functions as defined by the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0: Governance, Identification, Protection, Detection, Response, and Recovery, along with their associated categories. The platform's effectiveness was evaluated through feedback from cybersecurity professionals, ensuring its practical application in real-world settings.

Addressing Fragmented Cybersecurity Controls: Achieve more cohesive management of cybersecurity risks across people, processes, and technology.

Responding to Dynamic: Threats: Adapt to emerging threats through continuous risk evaluation and mitigation.

Simplifying Compliance: Ease the burden of meeting changing regulatory requirements by aligning cybersecurity efforts with standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.

Enhancing Decision-Making: Equip leaders with the necessary information to make informed, timely cybersecurity decisions that align with organizational priorities.
