Overview

Every organization has to follow frameworks

ome are voluntary frameworks and certifiable standards, such as NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001. Others are regulations, mandatory and backed by penalties, such as the EU AI Act. Today, proving compliance usually means spreadsheets, uploaded evidence and rounds of questions and answers, repeated framework by framework.

GRCortex AI replaces that with control assessment on a graph-based engine. Frameworks break down into sections. Your policies map to those sections, requirements map to policies, and controls meet the requirements. Questionnaires test each control, evidence checks whether requirements are met. Because everything is mapped in a graph, one failed requirement is traced instantly to every control, policy, framework and risk it affects.

The Challenge

Legacy GRC tools were not built for AI

Legacy GRC tools do not understand models, prompts, retrieval pipelines or agents - and their relational design struggles to connect one finding across many frameworks.

Assessments run in spreadsheets with manually uploaded evidence.

Each framework is assessed separately, duplicating work.

A single gap is hard to trace to everything it affects.

Compliance status is out of date the moment it is reported.

What Cygeniq Delivers

Five capabilities, one graph-based engine

Autonomous assessment

Automated evidence collection and assessment, with human oversight built in.

Graph-based cross-framework mapping

One finding is mapped at once across risks, frameworks, controls, policies and requirements - a multi-dimensional mapping that relational GRC tools cannot easily match.

Questions and evidence

Question libraries check whether policies are followed; evidence confirms whether requirements are in place. Together they show whether a control exists - and a missing control becomes a risk.

Standards and regulations

Covers standards such as ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST AI RMF and regulations such as the EU AI Act, with internal and external policies supported.

How It Works

Five steps from framework selection to remediation

011

Select frameworks

Choose the standards and regulations you must follow.

022

GRCortex breaks framework with multidimensional linking

Frameworks are organized into chapters and sections, then controls, policies and requirements.

033

Assess

Questions test policy adherence; evidence tests requirements - collected and assessed automatically.

044

Trace

Any failed requirement is traced across every related control, policy, framework and risk.

055

Prioritize and remediate

The dashboard shows failing controls and what to fix first.

Quick Example

One gap, every impact

Illustrative example - scenario
Situation

An organization must comply with the EU AI Act and wants to align with ISO/IEC 42001.

What Cygeniq does

During control assessment, evidence for one requirement is missing, so the requirement fails. GRCortex AI traces it through the graph to the control it belongs to, the related policy, both frameworks and the linked AI risk.

Result

Instead of discovering the same gap separately in two spreadsheets, the compliance team sees its full impact in one place and fixes it once.

Outcomes

One assessment, mapped everywhere it matters

Less manual work

Spreadsheet-driven compliance replaced by automated assessment.

Assess once, map many

One assessment counts across multiple frameworks.

Full traceability

Every gap linked to the controls, policies, frameworks and risks it affects.

Audit-ready evidence

Evidence organized and available when auditors ask.

Built For

One graph-based engine, read differently by every stakeholder

Compliance officers

Automated, cross-framework assessments.

Internal audit

Traceable evidence from requirement to framework.

CRO

Compliance gaps linked to business risk.

CISO

Security controls connected to regulatory obligations.
