Horizon Scanning on DefinedGRC— Now With Built-In AI Risk Assessment

Most organisations know they should be scanning the horizon for emerging risks… but the reality is different. Teams are busy, signals get missed, and when something finally becomes a problem, there’s rarely a clear audit trail showing the thinking behind decisions.

So I built something to fix that.

Using Salesforce’s Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) capability, I’ve created functionality that lets users scan any topic — a regulation, a news event, a geopolitical shift, a new technology — and instantly generate a structured risk assessment with a clear, reviewable audit trail.

It means:

  • Emerging issues get analysed early
  • Decisions are documented automatically
  • Leaders can see why something was or wasn’t escalated
  • Audit, compliance, and risk teams get traceability without extra admin

It’s a simple idea with a big impact:

If something is worth worrying about, the thinking has already been done — and the evidence is right there in Salesforce.

This is what practical, everyday AI in GRC should look like:
