VisiumKMS's pages describe a process safety management platform built from linked modules for management of change, incident investigation, corrective action tracking, process safety risk assessment, audit management and risk reporting, with findings from one module routed into a shared action tracker. The home page states eight integrated modules in one system of record, while the pages reviewed name six modules and mention a VSDS module only in a list of regulations. The vendor positions it for regulated industrial operations and lists OSHA PSM and EPA RMP on its home page. Prices are not published, and hosting is described as either Azure cloud or on-premise.
Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made
Industrial operators running a process safety programme who want change, incident, risk study, audit and action records in one linked system rather than spreadsheets. The home page speaks of eight modules but the reviewed pages name six, plus a nuclear VSDS reference, so confirm what is in the proposed licence. COMAH and Seveso are not named on the reviewed pages. The incident page says the software records the results of root cause analysis and does not guide users through methods such as fishbone or five-whys. Mobile and offline use is described only in a 2021 post, and integrations with external systems, SSO and an API are not described. Prices are not published.

VisiumKMS offers process safety management software; the 2020 press release below describes it as based in Houston, Texas. The vendor's pages describe it as a division of Valsoft Corporation, and the acquirer's press release (dated 26 February 2020 on the Valsoft site, https://www.valsoftcorp.com/news/valsoft-acquires-visiumkms-a-leader-in-quality-health-safety-environmental-software) states that Valsoft acquired Rolls-Royce Controls and Data Services Inc. on 3 February 2020 and that the company was then renamed VisiumKMS Inc. The reviewed vendor pages do not describe the earlier Rolls-Royce name. This profile covers the VisiumKMS platform modules named on the vendor's site and not its separate partner products or services.
| Capability | Evidence | Scope and source |
|---|---|---|
| Management of change with pre-startup safety review | Documented by vendor | The MOC page describes configurable site-level workflows, automatic routing to reviewers and approvers by change type, enforcement of pre-startup safety review before a change goes live, notifications and escalation, and routing of MOC actions to the action tracker. Template content and approval matrix limits are not itemised. VisiumKMS management of change module, checked 2 October 2026 |
| Incident investigation | Documented by vendor | The page covers near misses, injuries, fires, explosions, releases, spills and other events with structured investigation workflows, findings, recommendations and links to corrective actions. The page says the module records cause categories, contributing factors and RCA findings from whatever method a team uses and does not guide users through RCA methods, so check which RCA formats can be recorded.

| Corrective action tracking | Documented by vendor | The corrective action page describes actions routed from audits, incident investigations, risk assessments and MOC, with named owners, target dates, deadline reminders and escalation of overdue items. Preventive action handling is mentioned only in passing. VisiumKMS corrective action tracking, checked 2 October 2026VisiumKMS management of change module, checked 2 October 2026 |
| Process safety risk assessment studies | Documented by vendor | The risk assessment page describes HAZOP, PHA, what-if, checklist and JSA studies in one repository, a configurable phrase library, a consolidated risk register and recommendations linked to actions. LOPA and SIL studies are not named on the reviewed page. VisiumKMS process safety risk assessment module, checked 2 October 2026 |
| Audit programme management | Documented by vendor | The auditor page describes scheduling by configurable factors such as risk level, required frequency, previous results and regulatory schedule, configurable protocols and checklists per site or audit type, structured findings and routing of actions to the tracker at audit closure. It names quality-related frameworks such as ISO 9001, API quality programmes and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B for nuclear operators; check which protocol libraries are supplied.

| Risk reporting and dashboards | Documented by vendor | The risk analytics page describes personal dashboard views that individual users build and save themselves, preconfigured KPIs across MOC, incidents, actions, audits and risk assessments, and ad hoc reports exported from list views. The home page lists risk reporting as a module. External BI connections are not described. VisiumKMS risk analytics module, checked 2 October 2026VisiumKMS home page, checked 2 October 2026 |
| Regulatory frameworks named by the vendor | Depends on scope | The home page lists OSHA PSM (29 CFR 1910.119), EPA RMP (40 CFR Part 68), ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 and NRC and CNSC nuclear requirements via a VSDS module, most alongside the functions it ties to them (the NRC and CNSC entry gives no functions). These are the vendor's own mappings, not certifications; COMAH and Seveso are not named on the reviewed pages. VisiumKMS home page, checked 2 October 2026 |
| Number of modules | Depends on scope | The home page states eight integrated modules, but the pages reviewed name six (management of change, incident investigation, corrective action tracking, risk assessment, audit management, risk reporting) and mention a VSDS module only in the regulation list. Ask for a module list tied to the quote. VisiumKMS home page, checked 2 October 2026VisiumKMS corrective action tracking, checked 2 October 2026 |
| Mobile app and offline use | Depends on scope | A November 2021 post describes an iOS and Android app with field pre-startup safety reviews, first incident reports and offline audits, inspections and observations. The current module pages do not mention mobile use, so confirm what ships today. VisiumKMS mobile app launch post (30 November 2021), checked 2 October 2026 |
3 additional areas. Status describes reviewed sources, not hands-on performance.
Also watch for: No prices are published and implementation is priced separately from the licence. Integrations with external systems, SSO and API access are not described on the reviewed pages, and mobile use is described only in a 2021 post.
Platform licence with implementation scoped and priced separately; no amount published
No amount is published: the services page shows no amount for the platform licence, and no other reviewed page lists one. The services page says implementation is scoped and priced separately from the platform licence and describes Microsoft Azure cloud hosting and an on-premise installation option, without amounts for either. No trial is described on the reviewed pages. Confirm licence basis, hosting, implementation, training and support charges and renewal terms in writing.
Separate pricing recheck date not recorded. Confirm current pricing with the vendor.
Management of change, incident investigation, corrective action tracking, process safety risk assessment, audit management and risk reporting modules.
Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.
A November 2021 blog post says the mobile app for iOS and Android works on and offline, with audits, inspections and observations conducted offline. The current module pages do not mention mobile or offline use, so confirm what the present version supports.
