Diligent launches AI-powered cyber risk management to put business impact at the center of security decisions

Diligent, the AI leader in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), today announced Diligent Cyber Risk Management, its latest agent solution that enables organizations to manage cybersecurity risks within the context of their business. Available in summer 2026, Diligent Cyber Risk Management reduces manual cyber risk tasks from weeks to hours and connects cyber threats directly to strategic objectives, critical processes, and board-level oversight, allowing leaders to focus on security investments that have the greatest business impact.

“Municipal security teams cannot afford to piece together risks arising from scattered scans and spreadsheets. They need up-to-date insights into how cybersecurity can best protect the services their communities depend on,” said Dave Schultz, Risk Manager, City of Lethbridge Risk Management Division. “Agent solutions that speed assessments and clearly connect threats and vulnerabilities to strategic priorities will be transformative in making trusted recommendations to leaders.”

Diligent Cyber Risk Management brings together technical security data and business context in one platform to support end-to-end cyber risk workflows.

Cyber risk assessment using AI – Connects threat, vulnerability, asset and control data and uses AI to generate risk scenarios, scores and rationales, so teams prioritize mitigation by business impact, not just technical severity.
Risk scoring associated with critical assets and processes – Automated asset-level risk scoring identifies where business and critical processes are most at risk, guiding patching, investment, and remediation to what matters most.
Centralized risk remediation and IT compliance – Combine a single workspace to define and track treatment plans, assign owners, and monitor progress with AI-powered IT compliance that maps controls and automates testing across frameworks.
Cyber risk reporting for the board of directors – Automated dashboard updates connect cybersecurity threats to strategic objectives and key processes, giving boards a clear picture of their cyber posture and reducing CISO board preparation from days to hours.
Integrated GRC view across ERM, audit, and cyber – Delivered through the Diligent One platform, it enables organizations to manage cyber, enterprise, and audit risks together, avoiding conflicting risk narratives and providing executives and boards with a single source of truth.

“Most security teams are drowning in vulnerability scans, threat feeds, and control data, but they lack one thing boards always want: a clear picture of what is really at risk to the business,” said Scott Bridgen, general manager of risk and audit at Diligent. “Diligent Cyber Risk Management turns static risk registers and checkbox compliance into an AI-powered behavioral system that helps organizations prioritize critical security decisions and clarify the impact of AI, IT, and cyber risk to executives and boards.”

Built on innovations such as AI Board Member, AI Risk Essentials, AuditAI, ACL AI, GovernmentAI, and 3rdRisk, Diligent embeds AI into every step of the GRC lifecycle, helping organizations surface risks early, prioritize appropriate actions, and embed intelligent automation into daily workflows. With this expanding portfolio of AI-first solutions, Diligent has been recognized as a leader in seven major GRC assessments across five leading independent companies, including Forrester, Gartner, IDC, Verdantix, and Chartis.
