Censinet GRC AI launches: seven orchestrated agents and an AI Assessor that cuts hours from third-party risk
BOSTON, MA - Censinet announced Censinet GRC AI, a seven-agent AI platform built to coordinate governance, risk, and compliance across healthcare. The launch extends Censinet's strength in third-party risk into a broader, AI-native GRC system, with live demos at ViVE 2026, Booth #920.
Why this matters to leadership: fewer than 8% of healthcare organizations have meaningfully integrated GRC. That gap is costing the industry through preventable losses, delayed care, and regulatory exposure. As Ed Gaudet, CEO and Founder, put it: AI-driven automation now delivers measurable time savings per assessment while closing AI visibility gaps and easing the friction between security and privacy teams.
What's in Censinet GRC AI
- Supply Chain & Vendor Risk: Third-party risk, AI governance, and critical function mapping.
- Enterprise Risk & Operations: Business continuity, emergency preparedness, and systemic risk identification.
- Cybersecurity & Data Governance: PHI protection, medical device security, and breach response.
- Regulatory & Legal Compliance: Centralized policy management, HIPAA oversight (HIPAA), and regulatory change monitoring.
- Financial Integrity & Revenue Cycle: PCI compliance (PCI SSC), billing accuracy, and fraud prevention.
- Clinical Excellence & Safety: Credentialing, patient safety monitoring, and clinical governance.
- ESG & Community Impact: Sustainability reporting, community health outcomes, and health equity oversight.
Each agent runs a consistent five-phase workflow - Discover, Reason, Decide, Act, Improve - and works with the others to flag cross-domain risk early. Leaders can reallocate resources across agents in real time based on strategy, seasonal risk, or incident demand.
Available now: Assessor Agent for Supply Chain & Vendor Risk
The first generally available agent automates the most repetitive, documentation-heavy steps in third-party risk assessments - cutting an average of 3.5 hours per assessment in testing. Analysts keep full control: review, validate, and approve every recommendation.
- Auto-capture of technical integration details from Business Owner Requests and vendor questionnaires.
- Contextual findings for Corrective Action Plans (CAP).
- Summaries of SOC 2 reports, pen tests, and other uploaded evidence.
- First-draft Summary Reports to accelerate closure and communication.
The Assessor Agent runs inside Censinet's private, Secure by Design/Secure by Default container. Customer data is not shared with external vendors or used to train third-party AI models.
AI Telemetry: close the AI visibility gap
Vendors keep adding AI features to already-approved products. Annual reviews miss those changes. That's the risk.
- Automated classification of every product as AI-capable, not AI-capable, or unknown using historical questionnaires plus public vendor updates.
- Transparent, evidence-based reasoning attached to every classification for quick validation by risk teams.
- Dashboard integration: AI concentration charts, enhanced inventory filters, and one-click AI-specific assessments from product profiles.
"The shadow IT problem extends to a health system's inventory of vendors that quietly add AI capabilities to existing products and services," said Paul Russell, Chief Product Officer. "AI Telemetry gives continuous, evidence-based visibility into AI exposure across the third-party ecosystem."
From silos to shared signals
According to Russell, most healthcare GRC still runs on disconnected tools and fragmented processes. Censinet's approach replaces that with a system of intelligence that spots patterns across clinical operations, supply chain, finance, and compliance early - surfacing Day 1 signals instead of Day 60 surprises.
