Regulatory Compliance Platform Integrates Explainable AI for Auditable Decision-Making

A recent update to a compliance management platform has introduced a governed, audit-ready artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to support defensible compliance decision-making for managed service providers (MSPs). The platform’s tenth version applies AI within a structured system of validated context and controls, ensuring that AI-driven decisions are explainable, auditable, and accountable in real-world operating environments.

The Platform’s Approach to AI

The platform’s approach to AI is centered on the premise that AI can only be trusted in compliance contexts where the required context already exists. As a result, the system treats AI as a governed decision-support tool, rather than a conversational interface. This approach addresses growing expectations from regulators, cyber insurers, and enterprise clients that AI-assisted compliance workflows remain transparent and accountable.

According to the platform’s CEO, most AI tools lack a deep understanding of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) principles, and fail to recognize the nuances of different regulatory requirements. In response, the platform was rebuilt to support defensible compliance decision-making, enabling AI to reason within the complexities of real-world MSP operations.

Key Features of the Platform

At its core, the platform applies AI using real operational context, including tools, configurations, policies, and control relationships, rather than relying on assumptions or black-box logic. This approach enables AI-assisted compliance that MSPs can inspect, customize, and defend over time. The platform’s core architecture is powered by a publicly accessible tool catalog, which maps over 1,200 tools from nearly 800 vendors to over 100 regulatory and security frameworks.

The platform’s use of validated mappings ensures that AI outputs remain grounded in real evidence, providing stakeholders with confidence in the defensibility of compliance decisions. As AI adoption accelerates across IT and security operations, the platform’s CEO emphasized the importance of designing AI systems that reason about governance based on validated context, delivering accountability, transparency, and trust.

AI Governance and Control

The platform was built with internal AI governance controls from the outset and supports a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model, allowing MSPs to integrate AI providers without locking into a single model or surrendering control over data. AI is optional, enabling providers to adopt AI-assisted workflows at their own pace while maintaining full platform functionality.
