RISMA Half-Year Report 2021
Letter from the CEO
In June RISMA adjusted the full year expectations for ARR (annual recurring revenue) in 2021 from 14,6 million DKK to 15,0–15,4 million DKK. RISMA has, thereby, been one of few companies on NASDAQ First North Denmark that has issued a positive adjustment within the first months after the IPO.
Overall, things are progressing as expected and as described in the Business Description issued in connection with the IPO. The only unforeseen obstacle is that the recruitment market is tougher than we could have hoped. This is, however, apparently a challenge in most industries in the post-lockdown employment market.
In June, RISMA introduced our new GRC software suite and a new price model. We got the first two customers purchasing the full suite before the end of June. Furthermore, we generally receive positive feedback on the suite as well as on the new price model. The price model is a significant change, as we do not anymore charge customers per user.
We expect that a significant share of our customers over the coming 2–3 years will shift from using the one or two components of the suite they initially took into use, to using the full suite.
Moreover, we foresee that the market will shift from point solutions (i.e. solutions used only for one or few subjects within the GRC umbrella) to GRC software suites in the coming years. A significant share of the new-commers to the GRC software market will choose to go directly from spreadsheets to GRC software suites, and a significant share of companies that are presently using point solutions, will disregard these solutions in favor of a GRC software suite. This expectation is supported by market survey results.
Presently, these companies have very few, if any, good alternatives to RISMAs GRC suite. Some software providers market themselves with terms as “platform”, etc., but the reality is that RISMA is competing against point solutions.
RISMA is, thereby, front-runner in a market that will almost certainly by and large shift from point solutions to suites in this decade. As illustrated on page 6, we expect to fill the last few gaps in RISMAs suite and build a holistic reporting layer, over the next six months. Following that, we plan to build integrations to ensure that RISMAs solution becomes a truly one-stop GRC solution.
With these things in place, we believe that RISMA has played a significant role in introduction of a disrupting technology that within a relative short span of years likely will lead to consolidation of the market for GRC software.
Even without the holistic reporting layer and the integrations, RISMA has with the introduction of the software suite become a much more attractive partner for markets leaders in the advisor industry as well as young ambitious growth companies. We can, therefore, see that we need to scale up the partner function faster than expected. I therefore leave the word to my new partner in Executive Management - RISMAs CCO, Jan Jansson.
Yours sincerely,
Lars Nybro Munksgaard,
Chief Executive Officer & Founder

Letter from the CCO
Partner development
Both in Denmark and the new geographical markets, RISMA prioritize a partner strategy targeted at key players in relevant consulting areas such as legal, accounting, management and digital consulting and GRC advisors.
In order to drive the partner function RISMA has hired Kim Møller-Larsen as Director. Kim has consulting and GRC experience from Big 4 and will bridge the software into end-to-end solutions in close collaboration with our partners.
RISMA has already some strong and relevant partnerships with big potentials. On top of that we have experienced an increased interest from different potential partners. Based on initial dialogues with some of these potential partners we have identified a need to hire more people in this area as we foresee the majority of our new business will come through partnerships.
Expansion in Sweden and Norway
In accordance with the growth strategy, it was decided to expand our presence in Norway and enter the market in Sweden.
In both countries we now have a Sales Director in place. Farid Djahani started in Sweden in June and Per Christian Næsset started in Norway in August. Both are senior people and experienced within software sales for GRC solutions and have in their previous roles been responsible for establishing and managing partnerships. Locations for sales offices are established in both Oslo and Stockholm. The plan is to have sales team of minimum 3 people in both Norway and Sweden before year-end.
Commercial strategic initiatives
Recently we have developed an internal road map for commercial strategic initiatives across the Nordics. This is to ensure our customers experience a professional and value-adding approach throughout the entire customer journey.
To further accelerate our growth and to support with the initiatives mentioned above, RISMA has entered into an agreement with Gartner.

RISMA has already some strong and relevant partnerships with big potentials. On top of that we have experienced an increased interest from different potential partners.
Yours sincerely,
Jan Axel Jansson,
Chief Commercial Officer
