OPERATING PRINCIPLE

AI Assists. Humans Decide.

Advisory AI operates strictly as a recommendation copilot. It suggests control overlaps, highlights potential policy gaps, and drafts audit narratives. Every proposal requires explicit human approval before touching your governance records.

Zero Autonomous WritesMandatory Human Gatekeeper

Sanitized Advisory Payloads

Framework Standard Mapping: Public clause taxonomies correlated for semantic equivalence.
Drafting Policy Text: Suggestions for standard procedure wording based on recognized baselines.
Remediation Options: General corrective actions suggested for common control testing deficiencies.

Mandatory Human Gatekeeper

No Automated Pass/Fail Decisions: Advisory AI can never mark an audit item as "Satisfied".
Explicit Reviewer Sign-Off: Compliance leads and auditors must review, edit, or reject proposed mappings.
Customer Document Boundary: Proprietary client policies stay in customer boundary stores and are not used for LLM retraining.
