4CRisk’s Compliance Map will power up your Policy, Risk, and Control (PRC) Framework and Take the Noise out of Self-Assessments (RCSA)

The ever-changing risk landscape and labyrinth of regulatory changes present unique challenges for risk and compliance teams. However, a powerful ally in the form of 4CRisk’s AI-powered compliance technology products combined with your PRC (Policy, Risk, and Control) Framework and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) libraries is now transforming how organizations tackle assessments. In this blog, we delve into how AI is revolutionizing risk and control assessments, mainly through enhanced linkage and accurate, fast mappings within the PRC framework.

The Role of AI in the Policy, Risk, and Control Framework –

4CRIsk’s Compliance Map is AI compliance software that allows risk and compliance professionals to assess the design efficacy of their programs by comparing their external obligations to their internal control environment. It matches rulebooks (regulations, rules, laws, and standards) to applicable governance artifacts (policies, procedures, contracts, and controls).

4CRisk’s Language Models can review massive data sets of thousands of regulatory documents, parse them into sections, and tag them for applicability. The product powers up your PRC by providing accurate traceability of your coverage of obligations to corresponding elements - typically policies, procedures to controls. Your team can see your compliance mappings based on jurisdiction, nature, scope, systems, processes, products, contracts, policies, procedures, and controls.  This helps to eliminate the ‘noise’ by illustrating existing gaps and rapidly transforming a litany of documents into an easy-to-digest and actionable format.

4CRisk’s Compliance Map product also generates language recommendations for controls, risk statements, and policies to close gaps and auto-track remedial actions. Critically, 4CRisk can integrate with GRC systems and allow the auto-population of GRC libraries to manage the integrity of linkages in your PRC framework.

This accuracy brings your entire risk assessment program to another level.

5 Ways 4CRisk’s AI-Powered Compliance Map Powers Up Risk Assessments

1. ‍Proactive Risk Identification and Mitigation: Data analytics tools provide compliance teams with a deeper understanding of potential risks. Compliance Map is leveraged to accurately parse lengthy regulatory documents into logical text segments and suggest which regulatory requirements may impact businesses, risks, products, policies, and controls. This proactive approach enables early risk detection and prompt mitigation, bolstering your organization's overall risk management strategy. ‍ ‍
2. Smart GRC Libraries with AI-Powered Linkage: GRC libraries updated by 4CRisk’s AI-powered Compliance Map revolutionize data analysis by establishing intelligent linkages between regulatory requirements and specific control measures. By automating the mapping of regulations to controls, your organization can maintain a clear and transparent trail of compliance, ensuring that each regulatory obligation is appropriately addressed and lowering risk before you launch a formal risk assessment.‍ ‍
3. Streamlined Risk and Compliance Reporting: AI capabilities streamline reporting processes by automating data aggregation and analysis. AI groups similar regulations—whether state, federal, or global regulations—and compares your controls and policies to the group of regulatory requirements. This ability to logically group regulatory requirements expedites the assessment work required for compliance evidence. Compliance teams can produce accurate and comprehensive reports, enabling regulatory stakeholders to quickly gain insights into the organization's compliance posture. ‍ ‍
4. Agile Adaptation to Regulatory Updates: As regulations evolve, AI-powered swiftly adapts to changes, updating your organization with the latest regulatory requirements. This agility ensures that your organization's controls and policies remain aligned with the ever-shifting regulatory landscape. ‍ ‍
5. Strengthening the Partnership between Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit: As the third line of an organization’s defense, IA can leverage AI's proactive risk identification and streamlined reporting capabilities to help IA teams stay ahead of potential threats and fulfil their responsibilities with greater confidence.
