Compliance Scorecard has officially released v10, introducing a governed, audit-ready AI platform designed to support defensible compliance decision-making for managed service providers (MSPs). With this launch, the company directly addresses growing industry concerns around accountability, explainability, and real-world applicability of AI in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) environments.
Unlike traditional GRC systems or unregulated AI tools, Compliance Scorecard v10 applies artificial intelligence within a structured framework of validated controls and operational context. Rather than offering AI as a simple conversational layer, the company rebuilt the platform from the ground up to function as a governed decision-support system. In other words, the platform ensures that AI operates within predefined compliance realities instead of relying on assumptions or opaque logic.

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies and cyber insurers and enterprise clients demand greater transparency, MSPs face mounting pressure to justify compliance decisions. Therefore, Compliance Scorecard developed v10 to ensure AI-assisted workflows remain explainable, auditable, and defensible in actual operating environments.
“Most AI tools don’t understand GRC,” said Tim Golden, founder and CEO of Compliance Scorecard. “They don’t know which controls apply to healthcare versus defense, or which MSP tools actually support requirements like CMMC. We rebuilt the platform around defensible compliance decision making so AI can reason within the realities MSPs actually operate in.”
At its core, v10 applies AI using real operational context, including tools, configurations, policies, and mapped control relationships. Instead of depending on black-box reasoning, the system grounds every AI output in validated data. Consequently, MSPs can inspect, customize, and defend compliance decisions over time.
Importantly, this contextual intelligence builds on Compliance Scorecard’s established core platform and MSP-driven workflows, which the company developed years before introducing AI functionality. The publicly accessible Vendor Tool strengthens this foundation by cataloging more than 1,200 tools across nearly 800 vendors. Additionally, the platform includes over 200,000 normalized mappings aligned with more than 100 regulatory and security frameworks. These validated mappings ensure that AI recommendations remain anchored in real evidence rather than generic interpretations.

“As AI use accelerates across IT and security operations, stakeholders expect compliance decisions to be defensible in real environments,” Golden added. “We designed an AI system that reasons about governance based on validated context delivering accountability, transparency, and trust.”
Furthermore, Compliance Scorecard built v10 with internal AI governance controls from the outset. The platform supports a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model, allowing MSPs to integrate AI providers such as OpenAI, Microsoft Azure, Anthropic, or Google. As a result, organizations avoid vendor lock-in and maintain full control over their data and AI models.
Notably, AI functionality remains optional. MSPs can adopt AI-assisted workflows at their own pace while retaining full access to the platform’s capabilities. Through this flexible and governed approach, Compliance Scorecard positions v10 as a practical, accountable AI solution tailored to the operational realities of modern MSP compliance.
