Case 09/AI Governance/Enterprise (Cross-Vertical)

Cortex-GRC — AI Risk Assessment & Compliance Framework

Automates AI risk scoring and multi-regulation compliance for GDPR, ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act.

The challenge

What was breaking

Enterprise AI governance was manual, fragmented and slow — no centralised risk scoring, ad-hoc compliance documentation and incomplete audit trails.

The solution

Cortex-GRC

Cortex-GRC scores AI projects dynamically, links risks to mitigation actions and maps controls across major regulatory frameworks with continuous audit readiness.

Dynamic AI risk scoring engine
Mitigation linking and audit trails
Multi-regulation control mapping
Pre-deployment go/no-go assessment in 24 hours
Portfolio dashboard across risk tiers
