Free access for qualifying charities, with significant discounts for public and semi-public institutions.

Ariadnah makes its compliance platform available at no cost to qualifying charitable institutions. Public and semi-public institutions can receive significant discounts. We review each organisation and its scope before confirming the right arrangement.

Why this matters

DORA is not the point. Durable governance is.

Charitable organisations are not filing for DORA. They still need to govern sensitive information, suppliers, access, incidents, policies and operational risk — often with a small team and limited room for specialist support.

The access programme makes the governance foundation available without requiring a DORA use case. Start with the work that is relevant to your institution: documentation, controls, testing, tasks, evidence and decisions.

Public and semi-public institutions face the same capacity challenge. Significant discounts make it easier to put a repeatable operating model in place while keeping the scope proportionate to the organisation.

What access includes

A practical operating foundation for governance, controls and evidence.

Governance documentationPolicies that stay current.

Draft, review, approve and version policies and procedures. Connect them to owners, requirements, tasks and evidence so documentation remains part of the work.

ISO 27001 & SOC 2 controlsControls with a testing rhythm.

Use established control frameworks, map controls to risks and objectives, schedule tests, record results, track remediation and retain the supporting evidence.

Tasks & accountabilityWork that has an owner.

Turn requirements and improvements into recurring tasks with due dates, responsibilities, approvals and reporting — without rebuilding the process each cycle.

Integrated AI assistantsHelp with context.

Use assistants to draft governance content, explain requirements, identify gaps and move from questions to next actions inside the governed workspace.

What changes

Less time rebuilding assurance. More time running the institution.

Without a shared foundationGovernance becomes a collection of files.

Policies live in folders, tests in spreadsheets, actions in email and evidence wherever somebody last saved it.

Teams spend scarce capacity finding the latest version, asking who owns the next step and rebuilding the same assurance story for each board, funder or auditor.

With a shared foundationThe assurance story stays connected.

Documents, controls, tests, tasks, evidence and decisions live together, with ownership and history attached to the work.

Reporting becomes a view of current work. When the question changes, your team has a structure to work from instead of another fire drill to assemble.

The programme is deliberately modular. An institution can start with the governance work that matters now and extend the workspace as its needs grow.

Why we do this

Commercial success matters. It is not the whole picture.

Ariadnah is a commercial business. We want to do good work, serve our clients well and build a financially sustainable company.

We are also fortunate to have room to contribute some of our time, attention and resources beyond those commercial goals. We do that because we believe it is part of running a responsible business — and because, when you are in a position to help, helping is simply the right thing to do.

We do not turn the organisations we support into marketing material. We do not publish names, figures or stories to make the work look bigger. This programme is one quiet expression of a principle we try to follow: contribute where we can, with respect for the people and institutions involved.

Wider access

Free access for qualifying charities. Significant discounts for public and semi-public institutions.

Qualifying charitable institutions can access the platform at no cost. This continues the free-access commitment already offered through DORA Solutions.

Public institutions and semi-public institutions can receive significant discounts. The exact scope is agreed with each organisation, based on the governance work it needs to run well.
