  • Publication number: 20230410018
    Abstract: Enterprises need assurance that their internal documents like policies, procedures, controls, standard operating procedures (SOPS) are adherent to the regulatory obligations. In conventional practice this requires a manual effort where legal, business and IT experts collaborate for assuring completeness and consistency in enterprise documents with respect to regulatory obligations, thereby establishing regulatory hygiene. Governance risk and compliance (GRC) frameworks help experts with collaboration but do not provide automation aids necessary to reduce the analysis and synthesis burden. Present disclosure provides system and method for determining hygiene in the plurality of enterprise documents with respect to the plurality of regulatory obligations by extracting concept ontology models from multiple enterprise documents and multiple regulations and enabling navigation across multiple documents via the ontology.

  • Publication number: 20220318676
    Abstract: The disclosure generally related to a learning-based modelling of an emergent behavior of a complex system. Existing decision-making at complex systems primarily relies on qualitative approaches, which often results in inaccurate outputs. The disclosed system includes a digital twin of the complex system and a digital twin of an environment of said complex system, and captures an interaction and dynamic behavior of agents of the digital twins. The agents of the digital twins are simulated and modelled using learning-based models such as RL and genetic algorithms that learns the behavior (i.e. actions and their outcomes) over a period of time. Hence, the agents (or actors) of the digital twins are dynamic in nature. The actor-based bottom up simulation approach is capable of producing sufficient insight for effective decision making prior to implementation.
