Protecht, a global leader in enterprise risk management (ERM) software, has announced the forthcoming release of Cognita, its embedded AI assistant specifically designed for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). This innovative tool will become available with the November 2025 release of Protecht ERM, and early demonstrations will begin this week for customers, prospects, and attendees at the Gartner Enterprise Risk, Audit, and Compliance Conference.

As organisations increasingly seek transparent and explainable AI solutions, Cognita addresses a key concern in the GRC space: opacity. “AI in GRC should never be a black box,” said Jason Phillips, CEO of Protecht. “Cognita ensures every suggestion is transparent, explainable, and accountable – empowering organisations to make faster, safer, and smarter decisions.”

By combining expert knowledge, AI intelligence, and embedded governance, Cognita promises to transform how organizations manage risk, turning complex data into actionable insights while keeping oversight and compliance at the forefront. The November launch marks a significant step in Protecht’s mission to make enterprise risk management more efficient, reliable, and strategic.
