Protecht Introduces Cognita: The Next-Gen AI for Governance, Risk, and Compliance

In a groundbreaking announcement, Protecht, recognized globally as a frontrunner in enterprise risk management software, has revealed its latest innovation: Cognita—an embedded AI assistant specifically designed for the realms of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). This cutting-edge tool is set to transform how organizations manage their risk profiles and navigate the complexities of compliance.

Scheduled for full release in November 2025, Cognita was previewed at the Gartner Enterprise Risk, Audit, and Compliance Conference, where early demonstrations captivated attendees, showcasing its immense capabilities. Unlike traditional generic AI applications, Cognita is not just another tool; it is built on sound expertise from risk management professionals, fully integrated into decision-making workflows where the action happens.

A Practical Approach to AI

Damien Stevens, Protecht's Chief Marketing and Product Officer, emphasizes that Cognita seeks to make AI both practical and reliable for risk managers and staff alike. "Cognita guides users through complex risk landscapes, bolstering accountability and converting risk data into a strategic advantage without compromising governance standards," he stated. This emphasis on security and guidance assures users that they can trust the outputs generated by Cognita, thanks to its explainable AI features and built-in governance frameworks.

Key Features of Cognita

Cognita isn’t just about automating tasks; it’s designed to empower every employee to take on the role of a risk manager. The features of Cognita include:

• - User-friendly Guidance: It uses plain language to navigate users through tasks, providing critical contextual prompts and step-by-step instructions.
• - Operational Efficiency: By streamlining administrative tasks, improving data integrity, and expediting reporting processes, Cognita saves time and resources.
• - Transparent Outputs: Cognita delivers results that are not only auditable and verifiable but also trusted by regulators, reinforcing an organization's accountability.
• - Scalable Integration: It seamlessly integrates with Protecht ERM, featuring role-based permissions and oversight mechanisms.

A Transparent Future

Referring to the shortcomings of many AI solutions, Jason Phillips, Protecht’s CEO, remarked, "AI in GRC should never be a black box. With Cognita, every recommendation is clear and accountable, empowering organizations to make quicker and more informed decisions."

Availability of Cognita

Cognita will be part of the Protecht ERM November 2025 release, with opportunities for customers, partners, and attendees from the recent conference to schedule early demonstrations throughout September and October. This has already created a buzz in the industry, leaving stakeholders excited for a practical and safeguard-driven AI solution.
