    Summary of Associating an AI-recommended citation to an open regulatory alert

    This feature in the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC): Predictive Intelligence application enables your compliance team to efficiently associate AI-recommended citations to open regulatory alerts. Traditionally, citations—specific requirements extracted from authority documents such as laws and regulations—were manually sourced or downloaded. Now, AI and machine learning train a similarity solution model to automatically suggest relevant citations based on a confidence score, indicating the likelihood that the match is accurate.

    The solution requires users with the sncomplianceadmin role to train the model after installation, while users with the mladmin role can customize the solution definitions based on citation and regulatory feed data. The system also allows scheduling of data refreshes to keep similarity results current.

    Key benefits

    • Enhanced regulatory compliance mapping: Enables more effective reporting by improving the accuracy and relevance of citation associations.
    • Reduced manual effort: Automates the identification and discovery of citations related to incoming regulatory alerts, saving time for your compliance team.

    What you can expect in the interface

    When associating AI-recommended citations to regulatory alerts, you will see:

    • The confidence score indicating the AI's certainty about the citation match.
    • The citation name and its linked authority document, with links that open in separate windows for detailed review.
    • Options to either associate the AI recommendation or ignore it, giving your team control over the final mapping.
    • A history icon to view past actions on the regulatory alert, such as when recommendations were added or ignored, including timestamps.

    Associate a citation to an open regulatory alert by using the GRC: Predictive Intelligence application and a similarity solution model that uses an AI-recommended citation. Your compliance team can check the incoming regulatory alerts to determine if the citations or requirements apply to your organization.

    Overview of associating a citation to a regulatory alert

    Traditionally, if you had a subscription license, you could download a citation from a third-party provider or create a citation from an authority document by using Compliance Workspace.
    Note:
    An authority document is a document that contains the external regulations, such as the laws, regulations, and standards, that your organization must comply with.

    A citation is a passage or an expression from an authority document that your business must comply with. It’s an individual requirement within an authority document.

    Now, you can use AI and machine learning (ML) to train a similarity solution model that automatically suggests which citations to add to the regulatory alerts. The citations are based on a confidence score that indicates the level of confidence that a prediction is correct. A higher score means that the match has a higher probability of being correct.

    The Governance, Risk, and Compliance: Predictive Intelligence application uses AI and ML to make the GRC application adding citations smarter. These suggestions are based on a confidence score that is based on the recommended citation.

    A user with the sn_compliance_admin role must train the solution definition after they install the GRC: Predictive Intelligence application with its dependencies. A user with the ml_admin role can also customize the solution definition. This modification is based on the data in the [sn_complaince_citation] and the [sn_grc_reg_change_reg_feed] table. If you have the sn_compliance_admin role, you can select how frequently you want to refresh the data that you use to retrieve your similarity results. For more information about solution definitions, see Similarity solution definitions.

    Key benefits of associating a citation to a regulatory alert

    By associating an AI-recommended citation to an open regulatory alert, your organization gets the following key benefits:
    • Enhanced regulatory compliance mapping for effective reporting.
    • Reduced manual effort by your compliance team to identify and discover citations that are mapped to the incoming regulatory alerts.

    What you see when associating an AI-recommended citation card to a regulatory alert

    When you use AI to associate a recommended citation card to a regulatory alert, you see the following details:
    • The confidence score of the recommended citation.
    • The citation name and authority document name that links with the citation and authority. You can open the links in separate windows.
    • An option to ignore the recommendation.
    • An option to associate the recommendation.
    • The history icon that enables you to view the history of actions that were taken on the regulatory alert, including the dates when the recommendations were added or ignored by your users.
