Understand all AI GRC, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence terms. A complete lexicon to master the vocabulary of governance, risk, and compliance.
AI GRC refers to the use of artificial intelligence to automate and optimize enterprise governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance processes. An AI GRC platform like Vailor uses advanced technologies (LLM, RAG, agentic AI) to accelerate analyses and improve decision-making.
Cyber GRC is the application of Governance, Risk, and Compliance principles specifically to the cybersecurity domain. It encompasses cyber risk management, compliance with security standards (ISO 27001, ANSSI, NIS2), and IT security governance.
Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems capable of acting autonomously to accomplish complex tasks. Unlike simple conversational AIs, AI agents can plan, execute, and verify multi-step workflows autonomously.
EBIOS RM is the reference risk analysis method from ANSSI (French National Agency for Information Systems Security). It structures analysis into 5 workshops: scoping, risk sources, strategic scenarios, operational scenarios, and risk treatment.
Risk analysis is the process of identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risks to which an organization is exposed. In cybersecurity, it includes threat identification, vulnerability assessment, and evaluation of potential impact on information assets.
Governance refers to all the processes, rules, and practices by which an organization is directed and controlled. In GRC, governance includes policy definition, risk oversight, and regulatory compliance assurance.
Compliance refers to adherence to laws, regulations, standards, and internal policies applicable to an organization. In cybersecurity, this includes GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, and other security framework compliance.
An LLM (Large Language Model) is a type of artificial intelligence trained on vast text corpora to understand and generate natural language. LLMs like GPT, Claude, or Mistral are used in AI GRC platforms to automate document analysis and content generation.
RAG is an AI technique that combines information retrieval with text generation. In AI GRC, RAG allows AI to base its responses on the organization's specific documents and data, rather than on general knowledge.
An AI-native architecture means software was designed from the start with artificial intelligence at the core of its operation. Unlike solutions that add AI as an overlay, an AI-native GRC platform like Vailor optimizes every component for AI.
A multi-tenant architecture allows a single software instance to serve multiple clients (tenants) while guaranteeing complete data isolation. This is the standard model for modern SaaS platforms like Vailor.
Digital sovereignty refers to an organization's or state's ability to control its data and IT systems. In AI GRC, this implies hosting in France/EU, using auditable AI models, and independence from non-European providers.
