What is AI GRC?
AI GRC means AI does the work of governance, risk, and compliance: reading evidence, filling in assessments, mapping frameworks, drafting findings and fixes, with people approving decisions.
AI GRC is governance, risk, and compliance where AI does the work rather than only answering questions about it: reading documents and tool data, filling in assessments with cited sources, mapping frameworks, grouping findings, rating risk, recommending fixes, and building reports. People stay responsible for decisions, approving what the AI drafts, and every AI-derived value carries a source and a confidence score.

- You need language you can take to a CISO, auditor, or procurement
AI GRC vs. GRC with AI features
Adding a chatbot to a GRC tool lets people ask questions about their data. AI GRC changes who does the work: the AI prepares answers, evidence, findings, and configuration, and people review and decide. The difference shows up in how much of an assessment is already done when a person opens it.
What makes AI GRC trustworthy
- Provenance: every AI answer cites its source and shows its confidence.
- Separation of duties: the AI drafts; a person approves. Whatever produced a value cannot approve it.
- Confidence routing: high-confidence work is accepted by rules people set; uncertain work goes to a person.
- One audit log for human and AI actions.
- Scoped permissions: agents act with no more access than they need.

Where it is going
The next step is GRC that other AI systems can operate directly, for example through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), within each user's permissions. See our vision.
When this becomes a buying decision
If you are evaluating "AI" in GRC, ignore the chatbot. Open an assessment. If it is still blank, you are looking at GRC with AI features. If it is pre-filled and cited, you are looking at AI GRC.
If that is the situation you are in, see the product pages linked below, or ask us for a 30-minute demo on one real document.
Questions
Is AI GRC safe for regulated industries?
It can be, if the AI cites its sources, cannot approve its own work, and every action is logged. Those are the properties to ask any vendor about.
Does AI GRC replace GRC teams?
No. It removes much of the manual work (reading, mapping, pre-filling, chasing) so people spend their time on judgment and decisions.
