MORE ABOUT KARTA ASCEND

BEHIND THE NAME

Building and growing an IRM solution is a journey that’s unique to every company. Our role as your partner is to make the journey easier.

Our name and brand concept are about this journey, too—how we help you navigate risk and ascend to a place of better compliance, one that’s easier, more thorough and more efficient. Our team loved the parallels with the sport of climbing. We hope you do, too!

If you’re wondering about our name, Karta, it’s inspired by the Greek word for map: chártis. It is also a nod to our founder and the head of Karta, Vid Kartavicius. Karta is a sister company of ComplyTec, where our IRM offering got its start. In 2022, we moved our IRM solutions and services to Karta so that you, our integrated risk management customers have our undivided attention and focus. Today, we’re one of only a few companies that wholly specialize in IRM solutions and services. We’re exceptionally proud of this and the many other ways we stand apart.

Our IRM solutions on Archer and Onspring are delivered by a talented team of IRM software and project management experts with decades of combined IT project experience, providing you with strategic and reliable expertise.

”I wanted to pass along my compliments and a huge appreciation shout-out for your team's effort to get our “CIP Compliance Management” over the finish line. Establishing Archer as an approved CIP repository was a goal for my team and you were available to address any concerns with establishing “CIP Orders” and working with my team and IT to ensure the data was imported correctly (i.e.; due dates) into “CIP Compliance Management.” You’ve also been very helpful with validating our access matrix and ensuring our employees are set up correctly in the Archer user groups. Thanks again for the support!

”Things are going really well with Jonathan and Alex! They are both so capable and responsive to our requests and are providing excellent advice and expertise. As an example, they’ve developed a kick-butt solution for a risk register pilot with one of our city departments. Next, we’ll present it to the enterprise risk management team and I’m confident they will be as impressed as I am.

”I typically do not like to give "exceptional" ratings across the board. However, our experience with Karta has been exceptional in every way. We are working on configurating the NERC Compliance Management Solution in our Archer GRC system, and the Karta team has been professional, knowledgeable and accommodating.

”Today will be my last full day working. Tomorrow I turn in my badge. I started my first full time job after college in April 1980. I am fortunate to have had a great career and now it’s time to disconnect and enjoy life. During that time there were only a handful of instances when I got to work with a stellar group of people like all of you. It made my time here so much more productive and enjoyable. I wish you all the best! If you ever get down to Georgia, please contact me!
