How Onspring Can Help Modernize Governance, Risk, and Compliance for the State of California

California state agencies operate in one of the most complex regulatory and oversight environments in the country. From managing audits and compliance mandates to overseeing vendors, grants, incidents, and business continuity, departments are expected to deliver transparency, accountability, and efficiency—often with limited resources. Onspring is a cloud-based, no-code process automation platform that can help California government agencies centralize, standardize, and modernize these critical functions.

What Onspring Does

Onspring is a configurable platform designed to manage governance, risk, compliance (GRC), audits, vendor oversight, incidents, and operational workflows in one centralized system. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools, agencies can use Onspring to automate workflows, track data in real time, and generate clear reporting for leadership and oversight bodies.

Because Onspring is no-code, agency staff—not developers—can configure applications to match California-specific processes, policies, and reporting requirements.

Why Onspring Is a Strong Fit for California State Agencies

1. Improved Audit and Compliance Management

California agencies are subject to frequent audits and strict compliance requirements. Onspring can centralize audit planning, findings, corrective action plans, and evidence tracking—making it easier to demonstrate compliance and respond to auditors efficiently. Automated workflows ensure nothing falls through the cracks and reduce the administrative burden on staff.

2. Centralized Risk and Issue Tracking

From operational risks to IT and third-party risks, Onspring gives agencies a unified view of potential issues. Risks can be identified, assessed, tracked, and mitigated in one system, providing leadership with real-time visibility into risk posture across programs and departments.

3. Vendor and Third-Party Oversight

State agencies rely heavily on vendors and contractors. Onspring helps manage vendor onboarding, risk assessments, performance tracking, and compliance documentation—supporting stronger oversight and alignment with state procurement and accountability standards.

4. Incident and Issue Management

Whether related to compliance violations, security incidents, or operational disruptions, Onspring enables agencies to log, track, investigate, and resolve incidents with standardized workflows and audit trails. This supports transparency and consistent handling across programs.

5. Business Continuity and Resilience Planning

Onspring can support business continuity and disaster recovery planning by centralizing plans, testing schedules, and response actions. This is especially valuable for California agencies preparing for emergencies, natural disasters, or system disruptions.

6. Transparency and Reporting for Leadership

Onspring’s dashboards and reporting tools give executives and oversight teams immediate insight into compliance status, open risks, audit findings, and operational performance—supporting data-driven decision-making and accountability.
