Approved background
Use these facts as a starting point for company profiles, event introductions, partner announcements, and reporting on cyber compliance or sovereign AI.
RESTIV develops technology and managed programmes for two related challenges: maintaining defensible compliance continuously and enabling accountable AI use where sensitive data cannot leave a controlled environment.
Compliance Copilot is RESTIV's continuous compliance automation platform. Its hybrid system combines language-model agents, machine-learning classifiers, and deterministic control-testing services to run compliance programmes against 147 frameworks. It is designed to keep controls and evidence current between audits, automate repetitive security questionnaires, and give compliance leaders an audit-grade evidence chain on demand.
SCIFAI is RESTIV's sovereign AI environment for sensitive and regulated work. The architecture is designed around zero data egress, verified user attribution, immutable audit records, and accreditation readiness. It gives legal, financial-services, defence-supply-chain, and other regulated teams a controlled way to use AI with privileged or sensitive information without routing that information through public AI services.
RESTIV's team can provide technical and executive context for stories at the intersection of cybersecurity, regulation, defence supply chains, and enterprise AI governance.
