• Assess and govern the risk of AI tools and AI-enabled vendors, integrating AI risk into the existing TPRM and control frameworks.
• Leverage AI responsibly to accelerate GRC work, using large language models to draft and maintain policies, cross-walk controls across frameworks, and analyze and respond to security questionnaires.
