Powered by Constant ControlWhy project budgets blow out
Most organisations discover problems after the money is spent. SpendGuard puts you back in control.
Spreadsheet chaos
at every level
Programme and project budgets live across dozens of spreadsheets. Nobody knows which number is current. Version control is a nightmare.
Approval histories are buried in email chains. When auditors arrive, evidence takes weeks to compile — if you can find it at all.

Budget overruns found after
invoices have already been paid
Vendors set the pace,
you pay the price
You're paying, but vendors control the paperwork. Timesheets arrive late, invoices don't match, and by the time you notice, the money is already spent.
You discover a project is over budget after the invoice lands. The conversation is awkward — and the damage is done.
One platform for project spend
From contract to invoice, with the governance your organisation demands.

Procurement compliance, built in
Every CSO carries a full governance trail — so when the auditors come knocking, you have the answers.
Procurement method tracking
Record how every vendor was sourced. Direct appointments and emergency procurement require written justification — automatically enforced.
Value for money scoring
Score every contract across five criteria before activation. Competitive pricing, scope, alternatives, capability, and risk — all assessed and auditable.
Conflict of interest checks
Declare and manage conflicts of interest before CSO activation. Document mitigations, track review status, and maintain a complete declaration history.
Secure & compliant by design
Built from day one for NZ government and enterprise. Not bolted on — baked in.
NZISM Aligned
Controls, configurations, and governance frameworks built to the NZ Information Security Manual.
Privacy Act 2020
Full compliance with NZ privacy legislation. Data hosted in New Zealand, access scoped to your organisation only.
Independently Pen-Tested
Regular third-party penetration testing by accredited security firms. Real adversarial testing against the live platform.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every action timestamped and permanently logged. Tamper-proof records your auditors can rely on.
SSO/SAML & MFA
Connect via SAML 2.0 — Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace. TOTP-based MFA enforced organisation-wide.
10 Roles, Row-Level Security
Access enforced at the database row level — not just the UI. Users never see data from another organisation.
