September 2026
Plenty to get your hands on this month...
Hi there,
Chantelle here. I look after product design at Drova, which means most of my time goes on the things that are not built yet. This month I wanted to show you some of them.
With Drova Labs (coming soon), you'll have the opportunity to try out everything on the product roadmap before it ships, including two new prototypes in this very issue.
If you would rather hear about it all in person, we are in Melbourne on 22 October and Sydney on 12 November. More details below.
Kind regards,
Chantelle Staples, Head of Design
Launching soon: Drova LabsYour chance to build Drova with us
Most software turns up finished. You find out what someone decided months ago, and then you live with it.
Drova Labs is the other way round. Prototypes go in before anything is settled. You open one, try it out, tell us where it helps and where it falls short, and it changes.
Built and ready to click through now: AI Mates and Connectors. A team of mates working across risk, compliance, resilience and sustainability with Sheila orchestrating them, and the sources they read wired in behind. Take the tour from the Home screen to walk through everything in a couple of minutes.
We're opening the full Drova Labs up soon. Keep an eye out!
Launching soon
File Manager: one place for every file, linked to the work it supports
File Manager brings every policy, procedure, contract and piece of evidence you use in the platform into one place, so you can see what you hold and manage it from there.
Each file links to the records it supports. A policy sits against the risk assessment it covers, a piece of evidence against the requirement it satisfies, so when someone asks for it, it's already where the work is.
It's launching soon. Have a look at the prototype in the meantime.
The beta is open
Automated Gap Analysis: ISO 27001 first, more to follow
Point Sheila at your documentation and she maps it against a framework's requirements and shows you where the gaps are. ISO 27001 is the first framework out of the gate, and more are next on the roadmap, so what you learn running it now carries straight across to the other standards you report against.
Three ways to point her at it: connect AWS, connect Atlassian for Confluence and Jira, or upload your documents directly.
It's live now. Start a free trial to run it on your own documents, or ask our product team for a walkthrough.
You didn't sign up to read the chart. You signed up to run a good business.
Compliance done one obligation at a time is an eye test. Focus on one line and the rest go blurry.
The briefings are where we put the whole thing in focus. Melbourne on Thursday 22 October, Sydney on Thursday 12 November.
From eleven, risk and compliance leaders from other organisations join us and one organisation gets built end to end in front of you, in four moves. Objectives first, then the risks mapped to them, then the gap analysis running live, then the report writing itself from the evidence.
Then lunch, which is the other half of the invitation. Twelve to two, a short walk from the briefing, two hours with people carrying the same obligations you are. Your seat at the table comes with your registration.
Seats are limited. Pick your city below. If neither is convenient, we'll hold an online session too.
Sydney. Thursday 12 November.
The briefing, 11 to 12. MA Financial, Level 27, Brookfield Place, 10 Carrington Street. Coffee and registration from 10.45.
Lunch, 12 to 2. China Lane, 2 Angel Place, a short walk from the briefing.
Until next month
That's everything from me this month. Labs opens shortly, and I'll be keen to hear what you make of the prototypes once it does. And if you're heading to Melbourne in October or Sydney in November, the team would love to see you there.
Thanks for reading.
Chantelle and the Drova team
Everything in this issue sits inside the platform you can try today.
