Policy management and ERM
Keep your policies current and your risks in check.
Manage policies, controls, and issues, and run enterprise risk assessments — operational, technology and cybersecurity, business continuity, and more — while automatically checking for regulatory changes and keeping a complete history of every update.
What you get
Policy Management & ERM, in detail.
Policy register with editions
Every policy has editions and revisions, an in-force version, and a review, approve, and promote workflow with the last-approved date on record.
Requirements extraction
Kobalt turns each policy into a structured set of requirements, so you can see exactly what it commits you to.
Regulatory review of drafts
Check a draft against the regulations and standards it should satisfy. Findings cite both the rule and the policy section.
Regression detection
Re-review a new edition against the open findings of the last one and catch commitments that quietly disappeared.
Controls and issues
Keep a controls library linked to the policies and regulations it supports, and open issues with owners and due dates when a control or policy falls short.
Enterprise risk assessments
Run enterprise risk assessments — operational, technology and cybersecurity, business continuity, and governance — scored on the same platform, so policies, controls, and the risks they mitigate stay connected instead of living in separate spreadsheets.
Regulatory-change monitoring
Kobalt watches the regulations your policies depend on and flags when a change means a policy needs another look.
Executive memos
A short board memo, filled into your Word template, that explains what changed from the edition in force and why.
Reports
Export a PDF of findings with cited text and, if you want, the dismissed items and their reasons.

Common questions.
Can we draft policies in Kobalt?
Yes. Draft Policies and Drafting Templates let you start a new edition from a template and run it through review before it is promoted.
