Description

Control Gap Detection uses AI to flag IT control gaps, enabling proactive remediation, by detecting gaps across controls, evidence, asset inventory, and policy, across IT risk and compliance.

Business Problem

IT risk teams must show controls are in place and effective across a sprawling estate, reconciling controls, evidence, asset inventory, and audit findings against policy. Manual checks miss gaps that surface as audit failures or breaches.

Solution

The AI runs detection across IT controls, evidence, asset inventory, audit findings, and policy requirements, flagging control gaps and assets falling outside policy.

Expected Value

Reduces the open control gap count and shortens time to remediate flagged gaps.

Prerequisites
  • Historical IT controls, evidence, asset inventory, audit findings, and policy requirements are available with stable identifiers and sufficient coverage for the target workflow.
  • Source systems for IT risk and compliance workflows expose the required records through a repeatable export or service interface.
  • A named business owner exists to review flagged IT control gaps and confirm the action workflow.
