What is MAIA®?

Governed AI for GRC is the controlled use of artificial intelligence to interrogate governance, risk, compliance, audit and policy data within defined permissions, security controls and audit trails.

Organisations typically adopt MAIA® when a board question about residual risk takes two days to answer because the risk manager has to compile data manually across systems, and generic AI tools may operate outside the governance, permission and audit controls required for regulated GRC decisions.

The challenge

What breaks without MAIA®.

Answers take days, not minutes

A board member asks about residual risk in a business unit. The risk manager spends two days compiling a response from multiple systems.

Governance records exist but are inaccessible

Policies, risk registers, audit findings, and compliance records accumulated over years. Too dense, too fragmented for rapid insight generation.

AI tools that create new governance risk

Generic AI tools may operate outside the governance, permission and audit controls required for regulated GRC decisions. Using them for governance decisions creates risk instead of reducing it.

Strategic decisions disconnected from operational risk data

Leadership makes decisions without a live view of the risk and compliance posture. The data exists. Nobody can access it fast enough to matter.

What it does

How MAIA® works.

MAIA® is governed AI embedded within the XGRC® platform, using approved AI services through controlled, audited integrations, with permission alignment, data boundary controls, and full auditability of every AI interaction across risk, compliance, policy, and audit records.
