Diligent adds AI tools to Entities for faster, smarter governance
Diligent has introduced new artificial intelligence features to its entity management software, Diligent Entities, aimed at improving access to corporate records for legal, tax, finance and audit professionals. The updated solution now includes a refreshed user interface and several AI assistants. According to Diligent, these enhancements are designed to make essential corporate data more easily accessible and to integrate with existing enterprise tools, such as Microsoft Teams, to further streamline workflows. AI integration Diligent Entities now leverages purpose-trained AI to summarise, validate and share key insights from large data sets within a corporate record. This move is expected to increase efficiency and reduce risks associated with manual data management. The AI tools also aim to improve the accuracy of data, with automatic tagging and summarisation of documents included as part of the enhancements. Four major capabilities have been introduced with this software release: an AI report generator and charting tool, AI-powered integration with Microsoft Teams, automated document import and summarisation, and an AI virtual assistant. The report generator allows users to create customised reports and charts with simple prompts, ensuring information is always current and relevant. The deeper integration with Microsoft Teams enables governance data to be accessed and queried directly inside the Microsoft application. With the AI-powered assistant, employees can obtain instant answers to questions about entity data, supporting a self-service model within organisations. Increasing demand Organisational pressures from regulatory changes, workforce reductions in legal departments, and the widening complexity of compliance across multiple jurisdictions are cited by Diligent as key reasons for the expansion of AI functionality in its platform. The company notes that more than 70% of legal departments plan to increase AI usage over the next three years, seeking to maintain security and responsible AI practices while improving operational scale. Diligent says the new features help organisations avoid risk, improve data integrity, and boost productivity throughout the entity management workflow. Users, who number over 100,000 monthly for Diligent Entities globally, will now be able to intuitively access and analyse governance information in ways that are designed to align with modern GRC demands. Corporate commentary Amanda Carty, General Manager, Compliance, at Diligent, commented on the new capabilities: Our new AI capabilities in Diligent Entities are designed to empower our customers with a trusted, AI engine allowing them to find director and entity information faster, create reports and visualisations on the fly and establish a self-service model for peers. By integrating these capabilities within the Diligent One Platform, we are creating a seamless, closed-loop governance system that keeps all stakeholders aligned and informed. Product ecosystem The addition of AI enhancements to Diligent Entities aligns with the company's wider strategy, which includes previous launches such as GovernAI and AI Risk Essentials, as well as the recent acquisition of Vault Platform, an AI-driven ethics and compliance solution. These moves indicate an ongoing investment in artificial intelligence as part of Diligent's broader approach to governance, risk, and compliance software solutions.

Diligent teams with Cloudflare, Qualys to deliver cyber risk tool
Diligent has announced a partnership with Cloudflare and Qualys to provide a new cyber risk reporting solution designed for boards and both executive and security leaders. The Cyber Risk Report, now available on the Diligent One Platform, integrates Cloudflare's real-time threat intelligence and Qualys' cyber risk surface insights with Diligent's cyber risk dashboard. The solution is intended to provide a holistic, real-time view of the most pressing cyber threats facing organisations and to support strategic decision-making among board members and executives. Brian Stafford, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diligent, said: "In today's complex cyber landscape, boards and executives are demanding faster access to insights. The new Cyber Risk Report provides a holistic view of an organisation's risk posture, mitigating the chance of vulnerabilities to high impact threats. Combined with Diligent's AI-powered risk and governance solutions, this report arms CISOs with the tools for proactive risk management and strong cybersecurity governance." Diligent's recent 2025 What Directors Think report revealed that while 61% of directors acknowledge the strategic risks from cyber threats, nearly 30% of boards still do not receive regular security updates. The report underscores the challenges that security teams face, including an overload of data, constant emergence of software vulnerabilities, and new risks associated with AI tools. The new Cyber Risk Report aims to bridge this gap by merging internal controls data, third-party threat intelligence, and business context into a single, executive-focused resource. Its real-time integrations with Cloudflare and Qualys are designed to remove the need for manual reporting cycles and reliance on spreadsheets, streamlining processes such as control testing, evidence collection, and issue remediation through automation. Grant Bourzikas, Chief Security Officer at Cloudflare, commented: "Severe repercussions of recent attacks, and new threats posed by emerging technologies have moved cyber to the forefront of business leaders' concerns. And while the reckoning that cyber is at the crux of enabling business has finally come, communicating risk clearly, in business terms, is still a major challenge for CISOs. The Cyber Risk Report - underpinned by Cloudflare's telemetry, based on our global network that's one of the largest in the world - will enable security leaders to pinpoint exact relevant issues, overlay them with comprehensive context and ultimately provide clarity to the board on the overall state of your organisation's resilience." The development of the Cyber Risk Report included feedback from more than 50 chief information security officers and board members. The report offers features such as built-in trend analysis, peer comparisons, and intuitive dashboards, designed to help CISOs prioritise vulnerabilities according to their business impact and convey actionable recommendations to boards. The collaboration allows integration of technologies from both Cloudflare and Qualys into the Diligent One Platform and is intended to provide a basis for future cyber security solutions. Rich Seiersen, Chief Risk Tech Officer of Qualys, said: "CISOs don't need more dashboards; they need a smarter, business-focused strategy. At Qualys, we help our customers be more effective at measuring, communicating and eliminating their cyber risk with the Risk Operations Center (ROC). Together with Diligent and Cloudflare, we're redefining how cyber risk is communicated to the board, translating technical data into the financial language of business - dollars and cents. At the same time, we're empowering CISOs with clear, actionable insights to manage their risk surface, drive down risk, boost efficiency and elevate security as a true business enabler." The partnership is expected to address the ongoing challenges faced by security teams in translating technical cyber risk data into information that is meaningful for business and board-level decision-making.

According to Diligent's 2025 What Directors Think report, while 61% of directors recognize the strategic risks posed by cyber threats, almost 30% of boards do not receive regular security updates, underscoring a critical gap in cybersecurity awareness and action. Security teams are overwhelmed by excessive data, new software vulnerabilities and AI tools, making it crucial to automate 'always-on' threat monitoring and enable teams to translate insights for effective risk management. The Cyber Risk Report bridges the gap between threats detected and action needed by combining internal controls data, external threat intelligence and relevant business context into a single, executive-ready report. Real-time integrations with Cloudflare and Qualys will help eliminate manual reporting cycles and reliance on spreadsheets, providing comprehensive and actionable insights while automating complex tasks like control testing, evidence collection and issue remediation.
