OUR DIAGNOSTIC METHODOLOGY

Our Diagnostic Methodology

AuditPulse eliminates subjective compliance guesswork. We use a deterministic logic tree integrated with a specialized LLM routing matrix to evaluate your AI stack against 192 global regulatory controls simultaneously.

The Evaluation Sequence

Everything from the initial questionnaire execution to final validation calculation operates on a strict sequence designed to surface legal vulnerability rapidly without false positives.

The 7-Question Diagnostic

01

Users complete a rigorous 7-step Boolean matrix identifying critical deployment contexts, data lineage maturity, security parameters, and vendor reliance models. Each logic gate instantly qualifies or disqualifies specific regulatory requirements matching your exact stack architecture.

Regulatory Vector Mapping

02

The answers are converted into an array payload and mapped deterministically against four core regulatory parameters: The EU AI Act (2027), NIST AI RMF 1.1, ISO 42001:2024, and SOC 2 Type II trust criteria. If a control requires XYZ documentation and your system lacks it, the engine tags it instantly.

AI Synthesis

03

A specialized LLM agent correlates the raw mapped database anomalies with legal text embeddings. The agent strips false positives and automatically formats the remaining critical vulnerabilities into explicit citations identifying exact penalty vectors, fine limits, and effort milestones.

Calculating Output Scores

04

Risk scores operate inversely to standard web vulnerabilities: scoring uses a 100-point ceiling base where logic penalties deduct points sequentially. A higher score equals fewer violations (more compliant). Severe deficits trigger non-linear compounding decays dragging final totals aggressively downwards into elevated risk tiers.

REPORT STRUCTURE

Structuring The Defensible Asset

Outputs are constructed locally as strict A4 PDF objects. The structural layout adheres directly to accepted Board-level compliance briefing protocols to ensure total transparency across your corporate reporting lines.
