AI is everywhere these days - with companies racing to integrate it into their products—often with mixed results. In the world of security and compliance, incorporating AI requires more than just innovation; it demands rigorous privacy and security safeguards.

Strike Graph is at the forefront of AI in compliance, offering automated data collection, AI-powered evidence validation, comprehensive data testing, and continuous, intelligent control monitoring in real-time.

If you're using or evaluating other compliance platforms, be aware of the significant risks associated with unverified automation or AI from unsecured third parties. Strike Graph addresses these risks with a more secure, strategic approach to AI integration.

The risks of AI in security compliance - what to watch for

Many AI-driven compliance solutions offer surface-level features, such as policy generation, security questionnaire responses, or audit preparation checklists. While helpful, these tools often lack depth and can introduce new risks if not carefully managed.

For example, generative AI used for content creation may produce errors or hallucinations, leading to flawed policies. Additionally, relying on automation without oversight, as seen in the July 2024 CrowdStrike outage, can result in significant security vulnerabilities.

The greatest risk, however, comes from sharing sensitive data with unsecure third-party vendors and large language models (LLMs). With third-party attacks responsible for 29% of data breaches, protecting your data is critical. Strike Graph’s approach to AI and automation focuses on delivering efficiencies while ensuring robust data security.

Strike Graph AI prioritizes customer security and privacy in compliance 

At Strike Graph, we’ve taken a strategic approach to AI, prioritizing customer security and privacy. Unlike competitors who may rely on third-party vendors, we use AI models hosted within our own cloud environment, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure. 

To date, we’ve integrated AI into three key features: AI Security Assistant, Verify AI, and the newly launched Quick Start integrations, each designed to boost compliance efficiency for our customers while maintaining the highest levels of security.

Strike Graph AI Security Assistant empowers employees to focus on core security tasks

Strike Graph’s AI Security Assistant transforms how teams understand their own security compliance. Instead of sifting through dense intranets and documentation, your team can instantly access accurate, up-to-date answers directly from their documented compliance artifacts and policies. This not only saves time but also empowers employees to focus on core security tasks.

Built with privacy in mind, the AI Security Assistant does not rely on third-party services like ChatGPT, ensuring your data remains secure within Strike Graph’s platform. The AI Security Assistant not only answers routine compliance questions and helps with Security Questionnaires, but it can help in more serious real world situations as well, such as a security breach: employees can query the assistant for immediate guidance based on your incident response plan.

Strike Graph Verify AI takes intelligent testing to the next level

Strike Graph’s Verify AI takes intelligent testing to the next level by adapting to the unique needs of your business. Unlike basic compliance tools that follow rigid templates, Verify AI aligns with your specific controls and evidence requirements, ensuring your compliance efforts are tailored to your goals for a more accurate audit process.

With Verify AI, you can seamlessly integrate your existing compliance framework or create custom controls that fit your needs. The system speaks your language, adapting to the control definitions you’ve established, focusing on meeting your objectives rather than merely ticking boxes.

A standout feature of Verify AI is its real-time validation, providing immediate feedback on the validity and completeness of your evidence. You’ll receive clear guidance on what is required for each control, along with instant alerts for any discrepancies, allowing you to address gaps proactively. 

Verify AI also offers granular control, enabling administrators to toggle it on a per-evidence basis and restrict access to specific results based on ownership, ensuring only authorized personnel view sensitive information. Furthermore, continuous monitoring allows you to smoke-test your compliance program between audits, maintaining ongoing readiness and allowing your team to concentrate on core security operations while trusting the accuracy of their evidence.

Strike Graph's Quick Start integrations streamline evidence collection 

Launching this month, Quick Start simplifies compliance integration, automating evidence collection to save teams time and effort. It’s designed to streamline the process by scanning your cloud environment, identifying key resources, and using AI to generate pre-written Terraform data blocks that can be used in conjunction with our integrations. Even if you’re new to Terraform, Quick Start’s guided setup makes it easy to configure automated evidence collection, keeping you audit-ready.

With support for AWS at launch—and Azure and GCP coming soon—Quick Start provides flexibility for cloud environments. For those seeking more control, the AI-generated code can be fully customized, allowing you to tailor evidence collection to your specific needs. Additionally, you can align evidence collection schedules with your deployment cycles, ensuring seamless integration with your workflows.
