The challenge

Business owns risks IT explains

1-page

Risk descriptions today are technical, not business-meaningful.

confused owners

Business risk owners struggle to make informed accept/decline decisions.

audit gap

Auditor asks the business owner who shrugs.

Business risk owners need to understand the impact in their own language: revenue exposure, fraud potential, compliance breach. The agent translates so they can make real decisions instead of nodding through.

How the agent works

Human-in-the-loop, every step of the way

STEP 1

visibility

Observe

Agent reads a risk definition: SoD rule, affected TXs, affected users, technical context.

STEP 2

psychology

Evaluate

Translates: who does what, what business action is enabled, what could go wrong, rough financial exposure estimate.

STEP 3

bolt

Act or escalate

Presents to risk owner alongside the technical description. Business-language summary + numbers.

STEP 4

verified

Human reviews

Owner decides with confidence. Decision logged with full reasoning chain.

check_circle Every agent decision is explainable, reviewable and reversible.

What this means: The same person can post a vendor invoice and then approve its payment. A single user could create a fake invoice and authorize the payment themselves.

Worst-case loss

~3.2M PLN

Avg. invoice x 12 user pool

Detection delay

~21 days

Your decision options

Tech speak to business

Risk owners stop staring at TX-code soup. They see the actual exposure, the financial impact estimate and concrete decision options.

Better decisions, signed off faster

Owners understand what they're approving. Sign-off rates rise; audit trail is cleaner because rationale is human-readable.
