About ClearOPS

ClearOPS is an AI governance platform focused on helping organizations manage AI risks, particularly through vendor assessment and policy creation. The platform combines generative AI capabilities with vendor risk management tools to help businesses establish and maintain AI governance programs. ClearOPS positions itself as distinct from traditional GRC (Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance) tools, emphasizing automation and collaboration across teams.

What does ClearOPS do?

The platform's core functionality centers on building and maintaining knowledge bases from various data sources, including structured and unstructured data. It transforms static documents like spreadsheets and PDFs into searchable, AI-assisted resources. Users can conduct self and third-party risk assessments, security evaluations, privacy impact analyses, and AI conformity assessments using this knowledge base.

ClearOPS incorporates generative AI technology for several key functions. The platform can transcribe and analyze audio recordings of conversations, identifying legally privileged information and adding it to the knowledge base. It also features policy writing capabilities that can generate custom policies aligned with regulatory requirements in minutes. The system uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) to enhance vendor assessment processes and due diligence workflows.

What makes ClearOPS different?

A distinguishing aspect of ClearOPS is its focus on multi-stakeholder collaboration. The platform moves away from the siloed approach common in traditional GRC tools, instead encouraging cross-team participation in governance processes. This collaborative approach reflects the platform's philosophy that governance is not solely the responsibility of security teams but requires input from various organizational stakeholders.

The platform takes a practical approach to vendor management and AI governance. Rather than requiring organizations to map their entire vendor landscape initially, ClearOPS advocates for starting with the most frequently used tools and highest-risk vendors. This approach acknowledges the reality that employees often adopt AI tools before formal governance processes are established.

Use cases and industries

ClearOPS serves organizations across various sectors, with particular relevance for law firms and businesses implementing AI technologies. Key use cases include evaluating AI systems, establishing AI ethics programs, managing AI governance, creating policies for AI use cases, and conducting vendor risk assessments. The platform helps organizations understand their vendor landscape, assess and categorize vendor risk, and identify high-risk vendors requiring additional due diligence.

The platform addresses specific challenges in legal environments, such as maintaining client trust and following rules of professional conduct while implementing AI technologies. For law firms, ClearOPS provides specialized features for handling client confidentiality and legal privilege in AI-assisted workflows. The system also supports organizations in navigating emerging AI regulations and frameworks, including the EU AI Act and NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
