Protecht, a global leader in enterprise risk management software, today announces the upcoming release of Cognita, its embedded AI assistant purpose-built for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC).
Cognita will be available in the November 2025 release of Protecht ERM, with early demonstrations offered to customers, prospects, and conference attendees beginning this week at the Gartner Enterprise Risk, Audit, and Compliance Conference.
Unlike generic AI tools, Cognita is designed by risk experts, grounded in Protecht’s trusted content, and embedded directly into ERM workflows where decisions happen. With explainable outputs, built-in governance guardrails, and human-in-the-loop design, Cognita is safe enough to trust, smart enough to help, and scalable enough to grow with organizations.
“With Cognita, we’re making AI practical and trustworthy for risk leaders and frontline staff alike,” said Damien Stevens, Chief Marketing & Product Officer at Protecht. “It guides users step-by-step, strengthens accountability, and turns risk data into a strategic advantage – all without sacrificing governance or control.”
