Introducing Diligent AI Risk Essentials: Your AI-powered shortcut to ERM

Let’s face it — spreadsheets were never built for enterprise risk management (ERM). And yet, for many organizations, they remain the default tool for tracking and communicating critical risks. The problem? They can’t keep up.
Most organizations know they need better risk oversight, but formal ERM programs often feel out of reach. Limited resources, complex tools and long implementation timelines only add to the hesitation. That's exactly why we built Diligent AI Risk Essentials — to make risk management simpler, faster and smarter from day one.
Built to eliminate the guesswork and accelerate ERM success
We’ve heard it again and again: “We know we need to take risk seriously, but we don’t know where to start.”
Spreadsheets aren’t scalable. Risk isn’t static. And leadership wants answers now. AI Risk Essentials is designed for this moment — helping legal, risk and compliance teams build a foundational ERM program in a matter of days, not months.
With AI-powered risk benchmarking, guided onboarding and a three-step workflow, you can move from reactive firefighting to proactive risk management — fast.
Don't take our word for it, see it in action below:

The power of AI-driven risk benchmarking
Risk identification is often the hardest part of getting started. AI Risk Essentials tackles that challenge head-on by giving you access to a library of 120,000+ real-world risks from SEC 10K filings. Filter by industry, company or category to find what’s most relevant to your business and build your risk register quickly — with context.
That means no blank slates, no guesswork — just data-backed insights from day one.
Streamline the process. Simplify the work.
You don’t need to be a risk expert to use AI Risk Essentials. The platform guides you through a simple three-step workflow —identify, assess, and mitigate — so your team can take action quickly and with confidence.
Need to communicate risk posture to leadership or the board? Interactive heatmaps provide clear, visual insights that align stakeholders and spark meaningful conversations. And since everything lives in one place, collaboration is easier, too.
Designed for now. Built for what’s next.
Implementation takes 7 days or less — seriously. And once you’re up and running, your team will also gain access to Diligent’s ERM Certification and resource library, so you can continue to build maturity over time.
