FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What does Inspira's Cyber Advisory practice cover?

Seven accountable services: cybersecurity risk assurance, third-party risk management, an integrated GRC program on ServiceNow, data privacy management, continuity & resilience, AI cybersecurity governance, and audit readiness - delivered by 80+ risk advisory professionals across 30+ active engagements and 100+ projects executed.

How do you quantify risk rather than just opinion?

We run ISO 27001:2022 gap assessments, NIST CSF and CMMI-based maturity scoring (1-5) across 12 control areas, and FAIR-integrated quantified risk on our ServiceNow GRC platform - so the board sees exposure in business terms, ranked by impact.

Do you offer vCISO / fractional CISO services?

Yes. Our vCISO service provides fractional CISO leadership, board briefings, and roadmap advisory, backed by always-on managed risk assurance with monthly KRI dashboards and evidence automation.

What does the ServiceNow GRC platform deliver?

One platform unifying IRM (policy & compliance, quantified risk, FAIR integration), TPRM (end-to-end lifecycle, automated due diligence, vendor portal), Audit Management (risk-assessed planning, O365 evidence, AI issue triage), and BCM (BIA/RTO/RPO, exercise management, crisis activation). Clients see a 40% decrease in critical risks, 50% faster audit cycles, 95% automated compliance, and 45% less manual effort.

Which frameworks does the platform map to?

NIST CSF 2.0 with all 6 functions covered - Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover - and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 with 93 controls across all 4 Annex A themes, alongside RBI and SEBI regulatory requirements.

How is a ServiceNow GRC deployment phased?

We follow a phased 12-18 month roadmap across six stages: P0 Strategy, P1 Policy, P2 TPRM, P3 Audit, P4 BCM, and P5 Monitoring - so value lands incrementally rather than in a single big-bang cutover.

Can you help govern our AI systems?

Yes. Our AI cybersecurity governance catalogs AI assets, assesses risk, and applies governance frameworks - moving from discovery & inventory to governance & policy and continuous compliance & monitoring, accelerated by three AI advisory accelerators: an ISO 42001 Audit Agent, an AI Governance Policy Chatbot, and a NIST CSF 2.0 assisted assessment.

What do the AI advisory accelerators do?

The ISO 42001 Audit Agent - built on ServiceNow Agent Studio - replaces 30-40% of manual evidence review; the AI Governance Policy Chatbot handles conversational Q&A, replacing 2-3 days of spreadsheet maturity scoring; and the NIST CSF 2.0 assisted assessment delivers real-time scoring that cuts 3-5 days of report writing - compressing weeks of manual work into minutes.
