Can AI Agents automatically generate data compliance risk assessments?

AI Agents can generate preliminary data compliance risk assessments through automation, but human oversight remains essential.

They scan policies, identify gaps against regulations like GDPR, and flag potential issues based on training data. Accuracy depends on the quality of their programming and updated regulatory knowledge. Human experts must verify findings, interpret nuanced contexts, and manage false positives/negatives. Agents are best suited for standardized frameworks, not complex judgment calls.

Typical implementation involves: 1) Configuring the agent with current regulations and internal data policies; 2) Analyzing data flows and storage systems; 3) Generating risk flags and draft documentation; 4) Human review of outputs for validation and contextualization. This accelerates baseline reviews, improves coverage consistency, and frees compliance teams for higher-level analysis.
