The Cyber AI GRC Software for CISOs and Their Teams

Enterprise GRC covers every risk an organisation carries: financial, legal, operational. Cyber GRC is the branch focused on the information system: assets, threats, vulnerabilities, security controls, with its own methods (EBIOS Risk Manager) and frameworks (ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2). The mechanics are the same (identify, assess, treat, monitor), but neither the vocabulary nor the evidence is. A generalist GRC tool rarely models an attack path from end to end.

Three groups. Organisations inside a regulatory scope: the NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 covers essential and important entities in the sectors listed in its Annexes I and II, and the DORA regulation applies to the financial sector. Organisations pursuing ISO/IEC 27001 certification. And those whose customers, prime contractors or insurers ask for evidence that cyber risk is under control. The last two carry no regulatory obligation, yet the level of proof expected is much the same.

For a first risk map, yes. After that a spreadsheet runs out of road: no living link between an asset, a risk scenario, a control and its action plan, no history of decisions, versions circulating by email, and a consolidation exercise to redo before every committee and every audit. The real cost is not the licence, it is the hours spent rebuilding a picture of the risk instead of reducing it.

An inventory of assets and business activities, a risk register linked to them, a control library mapped to the frameworks in use, action plans with a named owner and a due date, a timestamped log of decisions, and reporting a board can actually read. If any of those lives somewhere else, in a file or a mailbox, the evidence chain snaps at the exact moment an auditor asks you to walk back through it.

No. In Vailor the AI does the preparation: it suggests risk sources, scenarios, control mappings and wording, based on the context you give it. Validation stays human, and every item you keep records who accepted or corrected it. That is what makes the output defensible in an audit: an unreviewed deliverable proves nothing, however good the model that produced it.

Yes, provided you organise around controls rather than around frameworks. Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 in its 2022 edition lists 93 controls. Article 21 of the NIS2 Directive, for its part, sets out minimum risk-management measures: incident handling, business continuity, supply chain security, access control, cryptography, basic cyber hygiene. The overlap is wide. A control implemented once can therefore answer several requirements, as long as the tool carries those mappings. That is the principle of the Vailor Control Framework: one control maintained once, linked to every framework that asks for it.

With a narrow, real scope: one critical activity, the assets that support it and the people who run it. Produce a first risk assessment on that scope, turn it into a handful of priority controls with named owners, then widen. An exhaustive map built before any decision is taken ages faster than it can be finished. EBIOS Risk Manager, the method published by ANSSI, is designed for that iterative rhythm.
