Q2 26 New Features

1 Smart Assessment Engine (SAE) AI Response Assist NEW

SAE is a capability available across the GRC portfolio that enables risk and compliance teams to design, distribute, analyze, and report on assessments without developer support.

🤖 What AI Response Assist does

This new AI feature enables responders to generate AI-powered suggestions based on similar questions from past assessments — eliminating the tedious task of cut-and-pasting answers from scratch for every assessment.

⚙️ What's new in task management

You can now insert recovery tasks, save tasks as templates, and import tasks into plans and events — increasing reuse and giving teams broader access to standardized tasks.

3 IRM Advanced Risk: Configuring the 'Not Applicable' checkbox in assessments NEW

Learn how to configure the "Not Applicable" checkbox within the control and residual assessment sections of an Advanced Risk assessment.

💡 Why this matters

This demo shows how to suppress the "Not Applicable" control and residual assessment option when it conflicts with your assessment logic — reducing user error and improving the overall assessment experience.
