Provenance is an AI-native compliance and operations system being built for small and medium teams. It aims to map your obligations to controls and track the work done against them. It also aims to turn findings into closed-out actions and keep a verifiable record of it all. This is designed to help your team keep track of compliance work and prepare for reviews with less manual effort.
Why “Provenance”
In fine art and fine goods, provenance is the documented origin and chain of custody that proves something is what it claims to be. Provenance the software aims to apply the same idea to how a team runs. That means a verifiable record of your obligations, the work done against them, and the actions taken. AI is designed to help with routine work, with your team reviewing the results. The aim is a clear record of compliance and operations work, available when someone asks.
What Provenance does
Four planned capabilities, designed to help small and medium teams track and evidence their compliance work:
-
01 · Intelligence
AI compliance copilot
Designed to use AI to suggest how regulation, policy and obligations map to controls, and to flag possible gaps. Your team reviews each suggestion. The software supports your compliance work. Your obligations stay with you.
-
02 · Assurance
Continuous assurance
Designed to show a current view of compliance tasks across the team, with the evidence behind them. The aim is to have records ready for a review, rather than rebuilt once a year.
-
03 · Action
Closed-loop actions
Designed to turn obligations, reviews and findings into owned actions with due dates. Overdue actions are designed to escalate until someone closes them.
-
04 · Capability
Provable capability
Designed to link training to roles and obligations and keep a record of completion. The aim is to help you show who has completed which training as the team grows.
How it works
The four capabilities are designed to work as one loop that keeps the record current:
-
01
Map
Aims to bring your obligations, policies and controls into one live framework.
-
02
Monitor
Designed to use AI to check for possible gaps and risks and flag them for your team to review.
-
03
Act
Aims to turn gaps and findings into owned, tracked actions that get closed out.
-
04
Prove
Aims to record each step in a time-stamped trail that you can show to reviewers.
Built for small and medium teams
Provenance is designed for small and medium teams that need real compliance and operational control, without enterprise complexity, long implementations or heavy overhead. It's being built to be practical and lightweight, around how growing teams actually work. That means one place to see obligations, activities, actions and training, and to check what has been done.
