The GRC hub, and the work around it

Govern risk, policy and compliance, as it happens.

KAIRO is RUBIQ's GRC hub, and it runs the work around it: policy and audits, projects and continuity, capacity and board reporting, all on one live record. An AI workforce does the legwork, a thread of governance runs through every step, and every decision stays yours.

From scattered risk to
one governed record.

The shift

Most GRC tools store your compliance data. KAIRO works it, continuously, and shows the evidence. Here is what changes the moment the thread connects everything.

  1. One live register.

    Replaces Spreadsheets, inboxes and stale PDFs

    Risk lives in scattered files that age the moment they're saved. KAIRO keeps one register that updates as the business moves, so you watch an issue form instead of finding it at quarter-end.

  2. Evidence on tap.

    Replaces Two weeks of screenshot-chasing

    Stop rebuilding control evidence before each review. KAIRO audits your policies against the standard, tracks the gaps, and keeps the evidence ready for the day someone asks.

  3. Reporting on demand.

    Replaces The quarterly audit scramble

    One set of numbers for the board, the auditor and the regulator, ready any day, not just the week you scramble to prepare it.

What KAIRO governs

Four jobs, every domain, one live record.

Risk, policy, regulation and reporting stop living in four tools and eleven spreadsheets. KAIRO runs them as one continuous record, across every area you answer for, and shows you the working.

  1. 01 · Real-time risk

    A live picture, not a quarterly snapshot.

    Every risk mapped to the objectives and controls it threatens and scored against your appetite. Watch exposure move, not discover it after the fact.

    In view: a Monte Carlo value-at-risk view, key risk indicators and an overall posture score.

    KAIRO risk posture screen: a value-at-risk distribution, key risk indicators and an overall posture score, drawn from the live register.
    KAIRO risk posture · sample data
  2. 02 · Policy, audit & sign-off

    Drafted, gap-checked, signed off.

    KAIRO drafts the policy from your own context, the gap analyst checks it against the standard, and the AI auditing bot scores it on your own evidence. Two-tier human sign-off, with an electronic stamp, and the audit record is written.

    In view: a drafted control update, the gap-check result and the sign-off queue.

  3. 03 · Live regulatory map

    Matched to the rules that actually apply to you.

    Each obligation tied to your jurisdiction, industry and contracts, and kept current as the regulations move. When an event lands, KAIRO shows which rules it triggers and what they require.

    In view: one breach event matched to POPIA, GDPR, ISO 27001 and the board charter.

  4. 04 · Board-ready reporting

    One source of truth, on demand.

    The board, the auditor and the regulator get the same numbers and the same evidence, any day of the quarter. The narrative is assembled from live data, not rebuilt by hand the week before.

    In view: a board narrative with KPI tiles, assembled from live data.

Across every domain 11 in scope

The register, the policy engine, the regulatory map and the board pack don't change shape by domain. KAIRO works the same way across every area you're accountable for.

Financial Crime here is the governance layer: policy, risk and oversight. The operational onboarding screening runs in KNECT.

On one operational hub

The four jobs run on a shared operating layer, so every follow-up, document and attestation lives in one place and rolls up into one audit trail. Governance signals from KNECT and CORA thread into that same trail, so a sanctions hit at onboarding or a liability in a contract surfaces where risk is governed.

The AI workforce

Not a chatbot you have to prompt. The AI workforce is five specialists, each showing its working: PAM for policy, audit and resilience; REG for regulatory and legal counsel; OMNI for risk and ethics screening; REMI for incident command; and ARI for board reporting and analytics, all under the ETHOS ethics lens, with every decision left to you.

  1. 01 OMNI Risk & ethics screener

    Nothing reaches you unscreened.

    Reads every inbound signal first, email, document, transcript or scenario, and returns a structured risk-and-ethics read with a confidence score.

    Commands
    • Live Analyzer
    • ETHOS 5-pillar check
    • Confidence score
    • One-click to REMI

    You controlIt reads and routes. You decide whether to open an incident or act.

  2. 02 REMI Incident command

    Every incident, run to ground.

    Commands
    • Incident workspace
    • Assets & evidence

    • Analytics

    You controlOwners and due dates are yours. It suggests next steps; it never closes a case.

  3. 03 PAM Policy, audit & resilience

    Policy and audits, handled end to end.

    The GRC back-office: drafts and gap-checks policy, audits against the standard, builds the risk register, runs continuity.

    • Legal Document Writer

    You controlYou annotate, override a status, or mark an obligation not applicable.

  5. 05 ARI Board reporting & analytics

    Commands
    • Executive report
    • Risk report
    • Compliance report
    • BCM report
    • Shareable viewer

    You controlAssembled from your real data, never templates. You review before it ships.

Ethics by construction

One ethics lens governs every specialist.

ETHOS is the conscience across the workforce. Before any specialist's output reaches you, ETHOS runs a five-pillar test and flags where a proposal is deficient and whether remediation is viable. OMNI adds the precision risk read. Every action is logged, and the decision still waits for you.

  • Sanity
  • Dynamics
  • Conditions
  • Epistemology
  • Compliance

Proof you can
hand to the board.

Proof & trust

A real board pack, what customers running KAIRO actually got, and the certification we have earned. Not the figures we are still working toward.

Customer outcomes

  1. Financial services Risk Management Executive

    One risk register the whole business reads from.

    Centralised registers and continuous monitoring replaced separate departmental spreadsheets, and executive reporting now draws from the same record the risk team works in. Operational risk is discussed in the same terms at every level.

  2. Healthcare and pharmaceutical distribution Managing Director

    A governance framework the business could grow into.

    Governance, regulatory compliance and operational resilience run as part of daily operations rather than a periodic exercise. Leadership holds a defensible position on its obligations as the business grows.

Outcomes drawn from customer case studies and reference letters held on file. Named quotes and references published as each customer signs off.

How we secure and govern your data

Questions, answered

The short version.

What is a GRC hub, and what else does KAIRO run?

A GRC hub is a single place to run governance, risk and compliance: one live risk register, the controls and policies behind it, and the regulatory obligations they answer to. KAIRO is that hub, and it runs the work around it too, projects, audits, business continuity, capacity and board reporting, so it all stays connected instead of scattered across spreadsheets and separate tools.

Which frameworks does KAIRO map?

Today KAIRO maps ISO 27001, POPIA and GDPR, and ties obligations to your jurisdiction, industry and contracts. Other frameworks can be added on request. RUBIQ itself is ISO 27001:2022 Certification Ready and POPIA and GDPR aligned.

How is KAIRO different from a traditional GRC tool?

Most GRC tools store your compliance data. KAIRO works it: AI specialists draft policy, run audits against the standard, map regulation and compose the board pack, while the register updates as the business moves. The evidence is ready when an auditor asks, and you see the working, not just the result.

Does KAIRO replace my team?

No. KAIRO removes the manual assembly, the screenshot-chasing and the quarter-end scramble, so your risk and compliance people spend their time on judgement, not collation. The specialists recommend; your team decides.

How does KAIRO connect to KNECT and CORA?

KAIRO is the hub at the centre. Governance signals from KNECT (onboarding, KYC and AML) and CORA (revenue operations) thread through KAIRO into one register and one audit trail, so a sanctions hit in onboarding or a liability in a contract surfaces where risk is governed.
