Protecht's risk framework is generic by design — it serves multiple sectors. GroundOne's taxonomy is built around the specific exposures junior miners actually face.

Protecht is a sophisticated risk management platform used by banks, insurers, hospitals, and government agencies — all organisations with substantial risk teams who know how to configure and maintain a risk framework.
Junior miners don't have risk teams. The CFO might double as the risk manager. The exploration manager might own operational risk. Nobody has time to configure a platform that needs to be taught what mining risk looks like.
GroundOne comes pre-loaded with the risk taxonomy for junior ASX miners. Regulatory risk, geological risk, approvals risk, tenement risk, director duties risk, HSE risk for field operations — the categories, the likely controls, the escalation triggers. You're not building a risk framework from scratch; you're confirming and extending one that already understands your operating environment.
More importantly, risk in GroundOne is not a separate module. The risk register talks to the compliance calendar. A missed ASX deadline surfaces as a compliance risk. A tenement renewal approaching expiry flags on the risk register. The board pack risk section is populated from live register data.
If you have a dedicated risk team looking for a sophisticated, configurable framework to manage enterprise risk across a complex organisation, Protecht is a strong platform. It's built to be deeply customised by people who know risk management.
For a junior miner with 4–50 people, you need a tool that already knows what mining risk looks like — not one you have to teach.
No framework configuration. No taxonomy workshops. Live in days.
