Most governance runs in bursts: a quarterly review, an annual audit scramble, policies
signed once and forgotten. KAIRO, RUBIQ's GRC hub, runs it continuously, so your risk
register, controls and evidence stay current and you are ready for an audit any
day, not just at audit season.

Continuous, not quarterly
Risk doesn't wait for the quarterly review.
KAIRO evaluates controls continuously, so gaps surface as they open and the evidence
is ready before anyone asks for it. Between periodic checkpoints, by contrast, a
control can lapse and nobody notices for weeks.
Periodicthe old way
A scramble at each review. Incidents and risks slip through the gaps between.

The compliance year, two ways. The old way: point-in-time reviews, with incidents,
risks and breaches piling up and slipping through the gaps between. With KAIRO: an
always-on scanner that clears each incident, risk and policy and ticks every audit
continuously, so nothing waits for the quarterly review.

The live register, not a snapshot
Risks are scored by likelihood and impact, each tied to the controls that treat it
and the framework it answers to. Every change is evidenced and timestamped, so the
audit trail builds itself as the business moves.
KAIRO covers the eleven domains a regulated business answers for, and runs the same
four jobs on each: write the policy, map the controls, run the audit, then monitor it
continuously.

The frameworks you answer to
KAIRO maps controls and generates audit plans against the standards you adopt, including:
KAIRO's AI workforce does the heavy lifting, and you keep every decision while the
trail proves it. It is made for the people who answer for risk: the CRO, the Head of
Compliance, the board.

Mapped to the frameworks you answer to today, and ready for the next standard you adopt.
An AI workforce that shows its working
Named specialists each handle one job: REG (regulatory mapping), PAM (policy drafting and gap analysis) and OMNI (real-time risk screening), every analysis stress-tested through the ETHOS ethics guardrail. They do the legwork; you review the output.
Every decision stays with you
Nothing is filed, escalated or published on its own. The workforce proposes; a person approves, edits or overrides. KAIRO records who decided what, and when.
A complete audit trail
Every analysis, policy version, risk change and attestation is logged with its evidence and timestamp. When the auditor asks, the answer is a query, not a three-week hunt.
Customer outcomes
What changed for the teams running it.
Two businesses running KAIRO today, and what shifted once governance stopped being a quarterly event and started running with the work.
ICT and managed services·Managing Director
Governance moved off the compliance calendar and into the working week.
Risk, compliance, information security and operational controls report into one live view, so the executive team acts on current state instead of waiting for the next review cycle. Accountability for each control is visible across the business, not only at audit.
Maritime and transport·Executive Manager
Audit readiness stopped being a project.
Governance, audit, risk and compliance run on one platform, so evidence is assembled as work happens rather than gathered ahead of each audit. Executive reporting covers operational and regulatory risk across the group in one place.
Outcomes drawn from customer case studies and reference letters held on file. Named quotes and references published as each customer signs off.
Questions, answered
The short version.
What is RUBIQ's risk and compliance solution?
It is KAIRO, RUBIQ's governance, risk and compliance hub. KAIRO replaces scattered spreadsheets, static policies and once-a-year audits with one continuous system: a live risk register, controls mapped to your frameworks, AI-drafted policy and board-ready reporting, with every decision kept human.
Which frameworks and regulations does it cover?
RUBIQ is ISO 27001:2022 Certification Ready and POPIA and GDPR aligned. KAIRO maps obligations and generates audit plans against the standards you adopt, including ISO, NIST and your sector's regulations, so coverage follows the obligations you actually answer to.
Is the governance continuous or point-in-time?
Continuous. KAIRO evaluates controls and key risk indicators in real time rather than once a quarter, so a lapsed control surfaces when it lapses and the audit evidence stays current instead of being reconstructed at audit season.
Does the AI make compliance decisions on its own?
No. The AI workforce drafts, scores and maps, but nothing is filed, escalated or published without a person. Every action is logged with its evidence, so you can review, override and defend any decision.
How is this different from a GRC tool or a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet is a snapshot and a typical GRC tool is a filing cabinet. KAIRO is the hub the business threads through: governance signal from onboarding (KNECT) and revenue operations (CORA) flows in, so risk, controls and reporting stay connected in one audit trail.
