Operlity: AI-powered governance, risk and compliance

Operlity is an AI-powered governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform that also covers AI governance, identity and data governance. It maps more than 20 frameworks, including SAMA, Saudi ECC, Saudi PDPL, UAE PDPL and UAE Information Assurance Standards, with over 1,000 cross-mapped controls. Evanssion distributes Operlity in the Middle East and Africa. [

What Operlity does

Compliance work is usually spread across spreadsheets, shared drives and separate tools. Operlity brings risk, controls, policies, audits, third-party risk and evidence into one platform, and monitors controls continuously so teams stay ready for audits rather than preparing for them.

  • GRC and security: risk management, compliance programmes, audit management, policy governance, third-party risk and business resilience.
  • AI governance: AI model inventory, risk assessment and alignment with the EU AI Act, ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF.
  • Identity access management: user lifecycle, privileged identity and access governance.
  • Data governance: unified data layer and cross-platform reporting.
  • An AI assistant that supports assessments, reporting and remediation planning.

Who it is for

CISOs, chief risk officers, compliance and risk managers in regulated sectors such as banking and finance, insurance, healthcare, government, telecom and technology. The platform lists regional frameworks natively, which suits Gulf organisations.

Where it fits: typical use cases

  • Map one control to many frameworks and answer several regulators with the same evidence.
  • Prepare for SAMA, NCA ECC and UAE IA audits with continuous control monitoring.
  • Build an AI model inventory and risk register ahead of AI regulation.
  • Manage third-party and supplier risk in one place.

Proof points

  • More than 20 global frameworks and over 1,000 cross-mapped controls (vendor figures).
