In a nutshell: Agentic AI automates the linking of technical security data with business processes to prioritize cyber risks strategically and provide leadership with reliable decision-making foundations.
Diligent introduces an AI platform that automatically assesses cyber risks and aligns them with business objectives and compliance requirements. The solution is intended to reduce the effort for risk analysis from weeks to hours and launches in summer 2026.
Diligent Cyber Risk Management assesses cyber risks not solely on technical criteria, but also ranks them by their potential impact on critical business processes and strategic objectives. The agentic AI automatically extracts information from technical security scans, inventories and other data sources and correlates them with enterprise objectives and compliance requirements.
For executives and boards of directors, this creates a comprehensive risk picture: automatically updated dashboards show where the greatest threats to business operations emerge. The solution additionally supports central planning of risk mitigation measures, their tracking, and automated assignment to various regulatory frameworks. This substantially reduces the effort for reporting to the board and supervisory bodies.
The relevance for German CISOs lies in regulatory obligation: with NIS2 and DORA, requirements for demonstrating cyber governance processes are increasing. Boards must document that cyber risks are being managed appropriately. Diligent Cyber Risk Management addresses this governance requirement by translating technical findings into a format that executives and oversight bodies can understand and evaluate — not only as a compliance measure, but as a business prioritization tool.
The time horizon is significant: managing isolated security scans, manually mapping them to business processes, and aggregating them for management reports currently require considerable personnel resources. Through automation, CISO teams can use this time for in-depth analysis and strategic measures.
