Compliance Cortex
The intelligence layer. Deep AI assessment that evaluates every control with confidence scoring, cross-framework mapping, and continuous posture monitoring. Built to think like your best auditor — at scale.
How It Works
Deep AI assessment, not checkbox automation
Understand
Ingest evidence from Evidence Fabric and understand what each control requires in context.
Evaluate
AI evaluates whether your evidence demonstrates compliance — not just whether it exists.
Score
Each control receives a 0-100% confidence score with evidence-backed reasoning and identified gaps.
Recommend
Actionable per-control remediation guidance — what's missing, how to fix it, what evidence would help.
Framework Intelligence
78+ frameworks. One unified assessment.
Assess across SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR, DORA, NIS2, and 70+ more — simultaneously. Cross-framework control mapping means shared evidence is reused, never re-collected.
- ✓ Global standards (NIST, ISO, SOC, CIS)
- ✓ Regional financial regulators (30+ countries)
- ✓ Industry-specific (healthcare, energy, payments)
- ✓ Cross-framework control mapping (reduce duplicate work)
- ✓ Custom framework support (bring your own controls)

Example: SOC 2 CC6.1 — Logical Access
✓ Evidence found: IAM policies enforce MFA, CloudTrail audit logs active
✓ Verified: Security groups restrict access, SSO configured
⚠ Gap: No evidence of periodic access review process
Recommendation: Implement quarterly access review and document the process
Confidence Scoring
0-100% per control. Not just pass/fail.
Every control gets a nuanced confidence score with explainable reasoning. See exactly what evidence supports the score, what's missing, and what would improve it.
- ✓ Evidence-backed reasoning for every score
- ✓ Gap identification with specific missing evidence
- ✓ Actionable recommendations per control
- ✓ Score history over time (trend tracking)
- ✓ Aggregated posture score per entity/framework
Continuous Posture Monitoring
Real-time drift detection. Always audit-ready.
Point-in-time assessments go stale. Compliance Cortex monitors your posture continuously and alerts you the moment a control degrades — whether from infrastructure changes, expired evidence, or new findings.
- ✓ Live compliance score per entity and framework
- ✓ Drift alerts when posture degrades
- ✓ Change tracking (what changed, when, impact)
- ✓ Trend analysis over time
- ✓ Board-ready posture reports on demand
⚠ Drift detected: 2 controls degraded in last 7 days
Scope Governance
AI-guided scoping. Nothing missed, nothing irrelevant.
Before assessment begins, Compliance Cortex guides you through scoping — identifying which control families apply to your specific environment. Cloud-only? Exclude physical controls. No payment processing? Skip PCI-DSS. The result: focused assessments with no wasted effort.
- ✓ AI-suggested scope based on your architecture
- ✓ Per-entity scoping (different apps, different controls)
- ✓ Scope change tracking and approval workflow
- ✓ Exception management for out-of-scope controls
Why It's Different
Built agentic, not retrofitted
Traditional GRC Tools
- ✕ Binary pass/fail with no nuance
- ✕ Manual evidence mapping to controls
- ✕ Point-in-time snapshots (stale in days)
- ✕ One framework at a time
- ✕ Checkbox compliance — no reasoning
- ✕ Generic recommendations (if any)
Compliance Cortex
- ✓ 0-100% confidence with evidence-backed reasoning
- ✓ Automatic evidence-to-control mapping (AI)
- ✓ Continuous monitoring with real-time drift alerts
- ✓ 78+ frameworks assessed simultaneously
- ✓ Explainable AI — see why each score was given
- ✓ Per-control remediation recommendations
