Frequently asked questions
What is NAVEX used for?
NAVEX One is an integrated governance, risk and compliance platform. Its modules cover whistleblowing and incident management, ethics and compliance training, policy and procedure management, risk and governance, and regulatory change management. NAVEX says it is used by 13,000+ organizations, including 77% of the Fortune 100 and 500 and 82% of Ethisphere's World's Most Ethical Companies.
How much does NAVEX cost?
NAVEX does not publish list pricing on its website. Pricing is quoted per organization, and the vendor positions NAVEX One as giving you what you need for risk and compliance 'on one GRC platform, on one invoice'. Compliance consulting and professional services are offered alongside the software, so buyers should request a demo and a detailed quote before budgeting.
Does NAVEX have AI features?
Yes. NAVEX One includes Nira, described by the vendor as an agentic AI assistant that gives teams a consistent way to use AI in daily workflows, from finding information quickly to automating routine work. NAVEX also markets AI-powered risk and compliance automation for editing, analysis and due diligence. The vendor does not state which models it uses, how keys are managed, or how AI usage is billed.
How long does NAVEX take to implement?
NAVEX does not publish an implementation timeline. The vendor highlights 40+ years of compliance expertise, dedicated implementation and professional services teams, and compliance consulting services. As an enterprise GRC suite spanning several modules, buyers should plan for a phased rollout over several months rather than immediate self-serve activation.
Is NAVEX a good fit for small businesses?
NAVEX is oriented toward mid-market and enterprise organizations: it cites 13,000+ customers, 77% of the Fortune 100 and 500, and 1,300+ employees globally. There is no published free tier or self-serve plan, and pricing is quote-based, so smaller organizations may find the cost and deployment effort hard to justify.
What support does NAVEX offer?
The vendor advertises award-winning customer support placed with our risk and compliance solutions, a dedicated customer success team covering the product lifecycle, and a customer community portal at support.navex.com. Specific support channels, hours of operation and response-time SLAs are not published on the pages reviewed, so confirm them in your contract.
