Risk management must become continuous

Module · Risk and Controls

Control estates grow every year and the testing hours grow with them, while the share of controls actually automated has gone backwards.

Prophesee Risk holds one obligation and control graph, tests continuously against live system data, and reports to the board from the same source.

The shift

The testing bill keeps rising. Automation keeps falling.

Control estates grow every year and the testing hours grow with them, while the share of controls actually automated has gone backwards. The problem is not effort. It is that the same control is tested once per framework.

A new approach

A control environment that watches itself

Today · Archer, plus email

Archer holds the control. The evidence is chased by email, screenshot by screenshot, and 92% of large enterprises use three or more tools just to gather it.

One obligation and control graph

Regulation to obligation to risk to control to evidence, held once. One encryption control can satisfy GDPR Article 32, NIS2 and DORA at the same time and be shown doing it.

Today · Annual access review

Role and access combinations that breach segregation of duties change weekly and are checked annually.

Continuous control monitoring

Controls tested against live system data on a schedule you set, with breaches raised as alerts rather than discovered at the next assessment.

foresight iconForesight
Today · No model at all

Nothing predicts which control fails next, so testing effort rises 32% while coverage stays flat.

Forecast where control failure lands

Failure likelihood modelled by control, process and entity so remediation goes where the next finding will actually be.

horizon iconHorizon
Today · Finding date order

Remediation is ordered by when the finding was raised rather than by modelled effect on residual risk.

Board reporting from the same data

Scenario the effect of a remediation programme, a new framework or an acquisition, and generate the board pack from the same live source.

From challenge to decision

Turning controls into continuous intelligence

Problem: Evidence and lineage
What produces it today: GRC, plus email

GRC tools hold the control. The evidence is chased by email, screenshot by screenshot, and 92% of large enterprises use three or more tools just to gather it.

Problem: Classification and mapping
What produces it today: Control mapping spreadsheet

The control-to-framework map lives in a spreadsheet, so the same control is tested separately for every framework it satisfies.

What becomes possible

13 AI applications that could be relevant

A sample of what becomes possible on the decision layer, not a fixed list: each application draws on the same data foundation and audit trail, and new ones are configured on the engines, not built from scratch.
