Symosis ARC — AI Risk & Compliance: 126× Faster Than Manual Assessment

We Don't Just Use AI. We Build It.

Most cybersecurity firms call themselves 'AI-powered' because they purchased a platform that includes AI features. Symosis builds proprietary AI tools from scratch — designed to solve the specific problems our practitioners encounter running security programs for Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and regulated financial institutions.

ARC was built because compliance assessments were taking 200–400 hours per engagement and producing reports that were obsolete within months. Every tool we've shipped started as an internal capability — battle-tested in real client environments before it became a product. That's a different class of software than tools built by engineers who've never run a security program.

126×–307× Faster Than Manual Assessment

A compliance assessment that takes your team 200–400 hours now takes ARC 1.5 hours. That's not an incremental improvement. It's a fundamentally different way to do compliance work — one where your senior security staff spend their time on architecture, remediation, and decision-making instead of control mapping, gap writeups, and audit documentation.

ARC automates 70–80% of all cybersecurity risk, compliance, and governance work. Upload your evidence, select your framework, and ARC reads and interprets your documentation, maps it to controls, identifies gaps with AI-generated explanations, builds a prioritized remediation roadmap, generates draft policies, and produces a board-ready audit pack — all in a single workflow.

Why Manual Compliance Assessment Doesn't Scale

Slow and Expensive

A 100-control assessment takes 190–460 hours of manual effort — mapping, scoring, gap writeups, and review cycles — spread across multiple weeks. At senior consultant rates, this is a $50,000–$150,000 engagement before remediation starts.

Outdated on Delivery

A point-in-time assessment is accurate the day it's delivered. Within weeks, your environment changes, documentation updates, new tools are deployed. The assessment is obsolete before your team finishes reading it.

Inconsistent Across Reviewers

Manual assessments produce inconsistent results depending on which analyst conducts them. Two experienced practitioners can score the same control set differently. AI produces consistent, explainable, repeatable results.

Disconnected from Remediation

Most compliance reports tell you what's wrong. They don't generate the policies, evidence templates, and remediation roadmaps your team needs to actually fix it. ARC does.

The ARC Workflow: Upload Evidence → Board-Ready Audit Pack in Hours

1. Ingest — Upload policy documents, procedures, configuration files, and screenshots — or connect directly to Confluence, Notion, or SharePoint. ARC uses OCR and text extraction to process any format.

2. Evaluate — Select your compliance framework: NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Controls v8, or NIST AI RMF. ARC runs an AI evaluation against your evidence set, classifying each control as Covered, Partial, or Gap with a confidence score.

3. Map — The Controls view shows your full framework mapped against your evidence. Filter by status, drill into any control to see the AI reasoning, evidence excerpts, and linked gaps. One framework mapping takes minutes — run all five simultaneously.

4. Analyze — The Gap Register surfaces every deficiency with an AI-generated gap statement, severity rating, maturity score (0–4), and risk explanation. Sortable by severity, framework, or control area.

5. Roadmap — Gaps become tasks. ARC generates a 30/60/90-day remediation roadmap with suggested owners, effort estimates, and required evidence templates. Assign owners, track status, and close gaps from inside the platform.

6. Generate — The Policies module generates draft security policies customized to your organization: Access Control, Incident Response, AI Governance, Vendor Risk Management, Data Protection, and more. Export as DOCX or PDF.

7. Report — The Reports module assembles everything into a single board-ready audit pack: executive summary, control coverage overview, gap register, remediation roadmap, governance summary, and selected policies. Export as PDF.

Key Capabilities

• Automated Control Mapping — AI reads and interprets your evidence documents and maps them to framework controls. Confidence scores show where evidence is strong and where it's thin.

• Multi-Framework Simultaneously — Run NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Controls v8, and NIST AI RMF in a single evaluation pass. One evidence set, five framework-specific gap reports.

• Delta Tracking — When your documentation changes, ARC re-evaluates automatically and shows exactly what changed in your compliance posture. No manual re-assessment. Always current.

• AI-Generated Gap Statements — Every gap includes an AI-generated explanation: what's missing, why it matters, what the risk impact is, and what remediation looks like. Written for security teams and executives.

• Policy Generator — Select a policy type, enter your organization context, and ARC generates a full draft policy with Purpose, Scope, Roles & Responsibilities, Procedures, and controls mapped to your framework.

• Board-Ready Reports — One-click generation of a complete audit pack: executive narrative, control coverage heatmap, gap register, remediation roadmap, and governance summary. Formatted for board presentation.

• Private & Secure Deployment — ARC runs locally or within your private cloud tenant. Your compliance documentation, gap data, and audit evidence never leave your environment.

• Ask Questions — Natural language Q&A grounded in your uploaded evidence. Ask 'What evidence do we have for MFA enforcement?' — ARC answers from your specific environment.

ARC Performance Numbers

• 126×–307× faster than manual assessment

• 1.5 hours average runtime for a 100-control assessment

• 70–80% of compliance work automated

• 5 frameworks evaluated in a single pass: NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Controls v8, NIST AI RMF

• Typical manual effort: 190–460 hours. ARC average runtime: approximately 1.5 hours.

Who Uses ARC

CISOs & Security Leaders

Real-time compliance posture dashboard across all active frameworks. Board-ready reporting without manually compiling audit data. Continuous visibility — not a point-in-time snapshot that's obsolete in 30 days.

vCISO & Advisory Teams

Run client assessments in hours, not weeks. Deliver more engagements with the same team. ARC handles the mapping and documentation — your practitioners handle the judgment and recommendations. Used internally by every Symosis advisory engagement.

Compliance & Audit Teams

Evidence-linked control outcomes with AI reasoning — exactly what auditors need to validate coverage. Gap register and remediation roadmap in a single exportable pack. Consistent, repeatable output across every assessment.

1-Month No-Cost Pilot — Limited Seats Available

Symosis invites select CISOs to pilot ARC at no cost for one month. The pilot includes one framework mapping (recommended: NIST CSF 2.0 or your current priority framework), automated ingestion of your policy, procedure, and wiki documentation, real-time compliance scoring dashboard, and a final feedback session with the Symosis AI and governance team.
