The IT Nerd

Strike Graph today announced Atlas, a new compliance posture advisor that leverages agentic AI to transform how organizations design, operate, and mature their compliance programs. The latest addition to Strike Graph’s AI suite, Atlas introduces an action-oriented, continuous reasoning layer that analyzes an organization’s compliance posture, surfaces prioritized remediation plans, and coordinates with the platform’s other AI solutions to turn its findings into fixes with human approval at every step. 

Atlas is designed to help teams stay ahead of risk, drive compliance action plans for human approval, and maintain an audit‑ready posture year‑round. When insights or actions are found, Atlas asks for permission and then coordinates agentically across the Strike Graph platform’s data and other AI agents to keep compliance programs moving. The result is a more proactive, resilient, and operationally-efficient GRC function.

A More Proactive Approach to Compliance Than Dashboards

Today’s GRC teams face mounting pressure, with expanding frameworks, rising audit expectations, and increasingly complex evidence requirements. Traditional dashboards offer visibility into an organization’s current posture, but rarely drive action. Atlas changes that dynamic by not only continuously analyzing current posture, but also thinking ahead to surface the highest‑impact priorities, and then following up to help execute the work.

Drawing from critical data sources including the core GRC data, audit history, and Strike Graph’s Verify AI and knowledge graph results, Atlas builds and iterates on its own plans over time. It identifies gaps before they become findings, flags controls that are slipping, and recommends automation opportunities to reduce manual evidence collection.

When recommended actions are approved by human users, Atlas collaborates with Strike Graph’s Security Assistant to configure integrations, write scripts, and set up automated workflows. Verify AI then validates every collected attachment, ensuring evidence is demonstrably operational, not just documented.

Designed for Every Stage of the Compliance Journey

Atlas adapts to the maturity of each organization’s program, whether they are just starting or expanding into new frameworks, keeping existing programs on track day-to-day, or looking to strategically improve a stable, successful compliance program.

This adaptive approach is particularly beneficial for frameworks such as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), as Atlas can help organizations reduce operational exposure by identifying single points of failure, highlighting risk concentration, and recommending permission redistribution across roles.

Leveraging Strike Graph’s AI-native architecture, Atlas interacts with the company’s Verify AI, Security Assistant, and specialized GRC models to serve as the central reasoning engine that ties these capabilities together for coordinated action and continuous improvement.

Strike Graph today launched Trust Chain, a Third-Party Risk Management solution that moves vendor risk assessments from self-reported questionnaires to AI-validated compliance evidence. Most TPRM solutions on the market today operate on the same underlying assumption: that the vendor’s responses are accurate and reflect their real-world security posture. Trust Chain is built on the recognition that this assumption leads to increased risk, and that those consequences compound at enterprise scale.

While general-purpose AI reads vendor documents and summarizes what they say, Trust Chain’s validation engine does something different: Trust Chain requires vendors to submit actual compliance documentation—security audits, penetration tests, breach response procedures—and uses Strike Graph’s patent-pending Verify AI to automatically test and determine whether the evidence provided satisfies and mitigates the potential risk as intended. Trust Chain is built directly into the Strike Graph platform, meaning vendor risk data lives alongside a customer’s compliance programs, framework controls, and audit evidence without requiring a separate tool or a separate workflow. 

The platform is built around three core capabilities:

• Evidence Request Libraries: Define exactly what evidence each vendor must submit—from Trust Chain’s standard set or converted from existing security questionnaires—and assign requests universally or per vendor relationship.
• AI Evidence Validation: As vendors submit documentation, Trust Chain uses Verify AI to test each submission against the specific requirements it is meant to satisfy—assessing whether evidence actually demonstrates compliance. Gaps surface automatically, without manual review.
• Automated Supply Chain Monitoring: Risk visibility persists beyond the point-in-time assessment. Trust Chain enables custom evidence expiration schedules to automate evidence refresh requests so teams can act on emerging risks rather than discovering them at the next annual review.

Trust Chain is designed for enterprise organizations managing compliance across multiple subsidiaries and vendor ecosystems. Its flexible architecture enables compliance teams to not only publish and synchronize controls across subsidiary workspaces, but also define unique vendor requirements per the specific needs of each subsidiary. This gives enterprise compliance teams governance at scale without the operational overhead of managing separate tools per entity. Vendors submit existing compliance documentation once; Trust Chain’s AI handles validation, reducing the friction that historically causes assessment backlogs and vendor non-responsiveness.

Results from Trust Chain’s pilot program show vendor assessment completion rates more than double those of traditional questionnaire-based tools and a reduction of customer time spent on TPRM by 92%.

Availability 

Trust Chain is available today for current Strike Graph customers. Full pricing begins at $7,500 for 25 vendors, with unlimited vendor access available at $30,000—a fraction of the cost of standalone TPRM tools, without the implementation complexity of enterprise GRC suites.
