AI-Assisted Compliance Mapping & Gap Closure

Map the obligations to the process. Find what is missing. Close the gaps.

AI maps individual requirements to the activities, work products, roles, and practices intended to satisfy them, evaluates coverage, and recommends targeted changes — with people deciding what gets implemented.

Overview

Translating each source into its own process layer creates duplication.

Regulated engineering organizations can face many overlapping standards, regulations, internal policies, and customer requirements. Translating each source independently into another process layer creates duplication and makes the process landscape increasingly difficult to manage.

This service uses the Applied SAFe® Platform to map individual requirements to the activities, work products, roles, and practices intended to satisfy them. AI accelerates the mapping, evaluates coverage, identifies requirements that are only partially or not covered, and recommends targeted changes to the operating model.

Objective

Create traceable compliance coverage across multiple requirement sources while keeping one effective organizational process.

How the service works

Six steps, with human decision at the end.

  1. Establish scope and applicability

    Identify the standards, regulations, internal policies, customer requirements, organizational scopes, and product contexts that need to be covered.

  2. AI maps requirements to the process

    Map individual requirements to the relevant process elements. One process element can contribute to requirements from multiple sources.

    ActivitiesWork productsRolesPracticesGuidanceOther process elements
  3. Analyse coverage and gaps

    Classify coverage so the difference between addressed, partial, missing, and ambiguous is explicit.

    Sufficiently addressedPartial coverageMissing coverageAmbiguous — expert review
  4. Recommend targeted process changes

    For identified gaps, generate recommendations. Each recommendation remains connected to the requirement that triggered it.

  5. Human review and implementation

    Process and compliance experts review the mappings and recommendations and decide which changes should be implemented.

  6. Reassess

    After approved changes are incorporated, reassess the affected requirement coverage.

Example

One change-management process, several sources of obligation.

  1. Starting point

    A company change-management process already addresses impact analysis, approval, and traceability requirements from several sources.

  2. What the mapping shows

    Most obligations are covered by existing process elements, but a functional-safety requirement for explicit safety-impact assessment is only partially addressed.

  3. Recommendation

    Add or strengthen the relevant process element — not a separate safety-specific change-management process.

Relationship to Reference Model to Agile Mappings

Reference Model to Agile Mappings focuses on transforming regulated processes toward agile ways of working while maintaining alignment with reference models.

This service focuses on systematic requirement-level mapping, coverage analysis, gap identification, and process recommendations using the Applied SAFe® Platform. The services can be combined.
