Q2 26 New Features
1 Operational Resilience Scenario Modeling NEW
Enables analysis using a proven statistical methodology based on losses over a time period, including their frequency and severity, to identify various scenarios and their impacts on business services.
📊 What Scenario Modeling does
This feature enables you to run statistical simulations (up to 100,000 iterations) tied directly to business and operations, producing 100,000 probable annual loss outcomes to support better decisions on risk and risk tolerance.

2 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

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