Gap Assessment AI Analyst
Gap assessment used to take 2 months per regulation.We got it down to hours.
Our Gap Assessment AI Analyst maps every regulatory obligation paragraph by paragraph against your policies, tags the responsible department, and delivers an eGRC-ready report in hours, not weeks.

The Problem
The math doesn't work manually
30 circulars a year. 2 months each. One team.
One MAS circular can require coordinating 20+ business stakeholders. With 30 new regulations landing every year, the queue never clears, and the backlog only grows.
Gap assessments are still built clause by clause, in a spreadsheet.
You read each paragraph, type the finding manually, and produce a list with no remediation guidance, no department routing, and no way to track progress.
Every regulatory update restarts the work from zero.
Regulations change. Circulars get revised. Each new version requires a full reassessment cycle with the same stakeholders, the same timeline, the same effort.
Generic AI summarises the document instead of extracting the obligations
A 20-page circular can hold 200 discrete obligations, and each one has to be indexed on its own. General-purpose models collapse them into a paragraph of prose.
How It Works
How Our Gap Assessment AI Analyst Works
Upload your regulatory documents and connect your policy library. What comes back is a clause-level gap report with a department owner and a recommended fix against each finding.
Drop in any PDF, circular, or framework. Point it at your existing policies, SOPs, and controls from SharePoint, uploaded docs, or your eGRC.
Every paragraph is indexed as a discrete obligation, matched against your policies, and flagged as covered, partial, or a gap with the source clause cited.
Each gap is assigned to the responsible department at 95%+ accuracy. The output exports as structured Excel for direct upload into your eGRC.
Capabilities
Built for Clause-Level Precision
Accurate gap assessment requires paragraph-level extraction and knowledge of your specific policies simultaneously. These are the capabilities that make both possible.
Every Clause Mapped to a Policy
Each paragraph is matched to the policy section that covers it, or flagged as a gap with the clause reference attached. Where a general-purpose model would hand you a summary, this works down at clause level.
Six Frameworks in One Run
One policy library, assessed against CCOP, NIST, ISO 27001, IM8, MAS TRM, and PCI DSS in a single pass. Doing it by hand means running each framework as its own cycle.
Know Exactly Who Owns Each Gap
Each gap is tagged to the responsible department or BU at 95%+ accuracy. One circular can touch dozens of teams. Every gap routes in the same run. No separate coordination needed.
All Gaps Come With a Fix
For every gap, our AI analyst adds a best-practice recommendation. Your team gets what a well-controlled organization does for each gap type: an action plan your team can route and close.
See What Every Update Breaks
When a regulator issues an updated circular, it compares against the previous version and surfaces exactly which controls and policies are affected. Only what changed gets flagged.
Output Grounded in Your Policies
The Context Graph holds your policies alongside the regulatory frameworks, with provenance and confidence metadata on each mapping. It has produced 0% false negatives across 9 to 10 months of live deployments.

Where the Other Approaches Break
Most teams facing 30+ new regulations a year have tried at least one of these. This is what fails in each, and what our Gap Assessment AI Analyst does instead.
Copy-pasting regulation paragraphs into spreadsheets takes weeks per cycle and produces no remediation guidance. With 30 new regulations a year, the queue only grows.
Our Gap Assessment AI Analyst returns a complete report with department tags and best practice recommendations in hours.
Accuracy degrades on long compliance documents. A 20-page circular with 200 paragraph-level obligations produces incomplete, generic output with no knowledge of your policies.
The Context Graph grounds every obligation mapping in your specific policy library, producing clause-level, organization-specific findings.
A system of record makes the GRC team click through hundreds of records to do any analysis at all, and it can only tell you about the controls you have already logged, not the obligations you have missed.
It sits on top of your existing eGRC, performs the compliance analysis, and pushes structured results back in.
A one-time engagement at $150K–$250K delivers a point-in-time snapshot, stale when the next circular drops, with $300K+/year in managed services to stay current.
It runs continuously. Every new regulation assessed with no re-engagement, no ramp-up, no new invoice.
Results
Results From Live Deployments
Observed outcomes from real production deployments.
A large regional insurer ran a 2-month cycle per circular: distributing to business units, two review rounds, coordinating 27 stakeholders. The same regulatory assessment now completes in hours, not months.
A Singapore government agency completed a full 150-question compliance review against CCOP and IM8 obligations in a 15-minute live session. No document preparation or reformatting required on their end.
Across multiple enterprise deployments over 9 to 10 months, the AI Analyst has not missed a single real compliance gap. Zero false negatives, confirmed independently across separate customer engagements.
When the AI flags a gap, human reviewers confirm it more than 90% of the time. The remaining cases are not errors. They are findings where a reviewer wants additional context before taking action.

Who It's For
Who This Is Built For
For enterprise compliance and GRC teams in regulated industries.
Head of Group Regulatory Compliance
Managing 30+ MAS regulations annually across a large BFSI group, each requiring gap assessment across multiple BUs.
“That is fine for one circular. There are 29 more coming this year.”
— Head of Group Regulatory Compliance, large regional insurance group
CISO at a Singapore CII Operator
Responsible for annual CCOP and IM8 reviews across 70+ business units with data sovereignty requirements per jurisdiction.
“The volume of obligations is beyond what any team can read and judge manually. Humanly, you cannot do this.”
— CISO, Singapore CII Operator
Group CISO at Multinational Conglomerate
Overseeing compliance across dozens of subsidiaries in multiple regulatory regimes with no group-wide GRC and staggered deadlines.
“I can only give feedback. Whether they follow is beyond my control.”
— Group CISO, multinational conglomerate (777 subsidiaries)

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The system evaluates every output using RAGAS quality metrics before surfacing it. If the confidence score falls below threshold, it withholds the answer rather than generating a low-quality response.
There is a roughly 10% false positive rate — it occasionally flags something a human reviewer clears on inspection. That's intentional. In compliance, a missed gap costs far more than one extra finding to review.
Yes. It reads any regulatory PDF, circular, or framework document and extracts obligations paragraph by paragraph — no pre-formatting required.
It also runs multiple frameworks simultaneously against a single policy library. One assessment cycle covers CCOP, IM8, ISO 27001, and MAS TRM together.
No. It deploys inside your own infrastructure — your cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), on-premises, or air-gapped. You choose the LLM, including self-hosted or open-source models.
For Singapore government and CII operators, Cyber Sierra is IMDA accredited and deployed on GCC. Data sovereignty requirements are supported by design, not bolted on.
No. It sits on top of your existing eGRC. It reads policies from SharePoint, uploaded documents, or directly from your eGRC, runs the obligation mapping, and pushes structured output back in.
Cyber Sierra has 140 day-1 integrations including ServiceNow and Archer. Your system of record stays in place.
Yes. The standard entry point is a scoped proof-of-value: one regulatory framework, one document, your actual policy library.
Several enterprise customers started that way and expanded after seeing the results. The strategy briefing is where we scope it with you.
