The Unseen Price of AI Risk

As a Solution Architect at Commugen, I work hand-in-hand with global CISOs, compliance officers, and IT leaders across industries. One truth stands out: strengthening cyber posture today means embracing AI, not fearing it. Our clients aren’t just looking to manage AI risk; they’re seeking to use AI to enhance resilience, streamline governance, and build smarter, more secure operations. That’s where Commugen’s AI Agents come in, bridging the gap between innovation and control.

The Daily Challenges We See as Solution Architects

Some of the biggest challenges we see daily are related to translating cyber GRC into operational practice.

These challenges shaped how we designed Commugen’s AI Agents:

Department-specific policy drafting Each department requires a customized policy, drafted in its professional terms. Security teams spend days tailoring guidelines, ensuring relevance, and tracking exceptions.
Control and mitigation plan creation When new risks appear, we noticed the teams spend a lot of time designing mitigation steps, assigning ownership, and validating completion across multiple systems.
Vendor assessment fatigue Third-party risk professionals manually review hundreds of vendors for AI usage, data exposure, and compliance posture, slowing procurement and increasing audit fatigue.
Cross-framework alignment Teams juggle multiple compliance frameworks - ISO, NIST, GDPR, and regional mandates, with no unified mapping or automation.

These daily realities drove us to engineer Commugen’s AI Agents: dedicated AI-powered tools that transform fragmented, manual cyber GRC processes into cohesive, intelligent, and auditable workflows.

How to Automate Cyber GRC Operations with Commugen AI Agents

Cyber GRC challenges from limited time and visibility, but Commugen’s AI Agents turn repetitive, manual work into actionable insights within minutes:

Generate policies in seconds Turn any control into a fully written, distribution-ready internal policy aligned with your frameworks and ready for rollout.
Get mitigation guidance fast Convert vulnerabilities into clear action plans and task lists so teams know exactly what to do next.
Analyze evidence automatically Reduce vendor and supply-chain assessment time by up to 70% with AI that reviews questionnaires, identifies gaps, and justifies risk scores.
Simplify risk documentation Draft clearer, faster risk narratives. Our GRC Assistant helps translate technical details for any audience.
Turn plans into tasks with owners Paste a mitigation plan or vulnerability and the AI Task Generator creates assignable tasks with ownership and accountability to keep track of execution.

Combining technical expertise with real-world insight, Commugen built AI Agents that simplify complexity and empower IT teams to stay ahead of threats.

Case Study: How AI Simplifies Policy Drafting and Governance

When discussing AI governance challenges with a CISO I work with, we identified several early wins after integrating Commugen AI Agents into their daily operations:

Simplified policy management Policy drafting and updates now happen faster, letting the team adjust policies on demand without delays.
Streamlined vendor assessments AI-driven analysis reduced the manual review load, allowing more focus on strategic security evaluations.
Improved leadership confidence With clearer insights and faster execution, management gained greater trust in how governance is handled.

This real-world experience highlights how even small changes with AI Agents can create measurable improvements in efficiency, focus, and collaboration.
