GRC OwlEvidence check
Compares the evidence on a control with its description, frequency and the audit period, and says what looks missing.
GRC Owl AI · Optional
AI does the paperwork. You make the call.
Drafting risks, checking evidence, reading vendor reports and answering auditors take hours. GRC Owl's AI does the first pass inside the screens your team already uses, and you review every result.
Faster auditsFind proof for an auditor's request and spot evidence gaps early.
Less draftingRisks, test procedures, change notes and questionnaires start from a draft.
Sharper reviewsVendor reports, policies and ratings get a consistent second look.
Under your controlOff until switched on, permission-aware, and never saves without you.
Audits & evidence
AIAnswer the auditor with what you already have
Paste a request from your external auditor. GRC Owl searches the evidence already attached to the audit, including what is inside each file, and shows what matches and what is missing.
- Matches by evidence title, file name, notes and what is inside each file
- Lists the related controls and the gaps, so you know what to collect next
- Drafts a reply you can edit; nothing is sent to anyone
- Searches only evidence you are allowed to open
Issues
AIFrom finding to fix plan in one click
Open an issue and ask for a remediation proposal. The AI reads the description, comments, linked controls and risks, and attachment summaries, then proposes what to do.
- A root cause analysis and a corrective action plan
- Dated action items, shown as a preview
- Only the items you tick are saved, as real action items linked back to the issue
Risk
AIOne sentence in, a full risk entry out
Describe the risk in plain words. The AI drafts the title, cause, event and consequence, inherent and residual ratings with a rationale, the treatment and the Annex A controls, ready to apply to the form.
- Nothing is saved until you apply it and press Save
- A separate check gives a second opinion on ratings you entered yourself
Third-party risk
AIThe key points of a SOC report, in one click
Press Review with AI on a vendor's compliance document. You get the type, issuer, scope and period, the opinion, every exception with the management response, your complementary user-entity controls and the red flags to act on.
- Suggests an expiry date that you can copy onto the document
- Works with SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports, ISO certificates, pen-test letters and insurance certificates
Everything it can do
Nineteen ways AI saves you time
Each one sits on the page where you do the work. There is no separate AI tool to learn.
Test procedures
Drafts test steps, a sample size and the evidence to expect, from what you typed on the control. It fills the form only when you press Use.
Rebuild control mappings
Reviews each requirement of the frameworks you audit against the Unified Control Framework and proposes the common controls that fit, logging every change so you can review it.
Auditor request finder
Paste an auditor's request and it searches the evidence already on the audit, lists matches and gaps, and drafts a reply.
Controls for each check
Reads your automated integration checks and suggests the controls each one proves, so you can tick and link them in one step.
Risk draft
Turn one sentence into a full risk entry: cause, event, consequence, ratings, treatment and Annex A controls, loaded into the unsaved form.
Rating check
A second opinion on your ratings against the description, the mitigating controls and the register's other risks.
Root cause & action plan
Reads the issue, comments, linked controls and risks and attachments, then proposes a root cause, a corrective plan and dated action items. Only what you tick is saved.
Vendor document review
Reads a SOC report, ISO certificate or pen-test letter and pulls out scope, period, opinion, exceptions, user-entity controls and red flags.
Question suggestions
10 to 20 question ideas for a questionnaire or template, de-duplicated against the ones you already have.
Review vendor replies
Summarises a vendor's answers and files into findings and a follow-up message you can copy. Nothing goes to the vendor automatically.
Change summary
Compares a new version with the previous file and drafts the “version changes” note.
Policy suggestions
Prioritised improvements for a new document, ready for you to accept or ignore.
Gap analysis
Checks a policy against a framework's requirements and shows what is covered and what is not.
Dashboard summary
Board-pack commentary written from the numbers your own dashboard shows.
Ask Owl builds workflows
Describe a change in plain words and it adds the statuses and transitions, under the same rules as the manual editor, and reports what it applied or skipped.
Search inside files
Each upload is read in the background, including text in images and scans, so search finds a file by what it contains, not just its name.
Ask Owl for a chart
Describe the graph you want and Owl sets up the custom graph builder for you to preview, using only the modules you can open.
Smarter Ask Owl
More natural answers about your own tasks, risks, issues, audits, documents and vendors, plus questions that fit the page you are on.
Responsible by design
You stay in control of every result
Compliance records are sensitive, so the AI is built to be switched off, limited and checked.
Off until you say so
An administrator switches it on for the installation and for each instance, and holds the API key. Without it, nothing is ever sent and no AI buttons appear.
You decide what is saved
Results are previews, drafts in an unsaved form, or ticked lists. The one action that applies directly, the workflow builder, reports what it did and is logged.
Permission-aware
Requests use only records the signed-in person may already open, and uploaded documents are treated as data, never as instructions.
Logged, without the content
Every call records who, when and which feature, never your prompts or answers, so you can see how it is used.
Resilient
If one model is busy, GRC Owl tries the next. If none answer, Ask Owl falls back to its built-in answers and everything else works as normal.
Honest about data
When on, the text or file you are working on goes to Google Gemini to produce the result. See the security FAQ.
FAQ
Questions about the AI
Is the AI switched on by default?
No. It is off until your administrator turns it on in the admin console, for the installation and for each instance, and it needs an API key that only the administrator holds. With the AI off, every button and panel on this page is hidden and GRC Owl works as it always did.
Where does our data go when the AI is on?
The text or file you are working on is sent to the AI provider, currently Google Gemini, to produce the result. GRC Owl sends only what the feature needs, such as one document, one issue with its comments, or the records Ask Owl has already looked up for you. Each call is logged with who, when and which feature, without the content.
Can the AI change our records by itself?
No. Results are suggestions. Most are shown as a preview or placed in an unsaved form, and anything that is saved, such as the action items from an issue, is saved only for the items you tick. The exception is the workflow builder, which applies the change you describe, tells you exactly what it applied and skipped, and records it in the log.
Does it respect who can see what?
Yes. It only works with records the signed-in person is already allowed to open, and the evidence finder searches only evidence that person may see. Documents and vendor files are treated as data to analyse, never as instructions.
What if the AI is busy or gives a wrong answer?
GRC Owl tries backup models, and if none answer, Ask Owl falls back to its built-in answers. AI output can be wrong, so treat it as a first draft and check it, particularly anything you will send to an auditor or vendor.
