Trusted by well known organisations around the world
Most AI tools deliver generic answers.
Cognita is built by risk experts, for risk professionals. It provides authoritative guidance, explains recommendations clearly, and keeps you in control.
By making risk knowledge accessible through AI, Cognita expands participation across the organisation - helping frontline staff log issues with confidence while giving leaders the verifiable insights they need to make informed decisions.

Missed or poorly logged incidents create blind spots.

Lengthy investigations and admin slow down response.

Traditional systems show you what happened.
Cognita helps you see more than just isolated incidents. By analysing past data, it highlights recurring issues, surfaces weak controls, and shows where risks are clustering.
This makes it easier to spot patterns, learn from previous events, and take action to prevent repeat problems. With clearer visibility into trends, you can strengthen controls and make smarter risk decisions moving forward.

AI in risk management needs safety first.
