Frequently Asked Questions
Questions frequently raised by CIOs, CISOs, and compliance leaders during AI governance platform evaluation.
What is the primary architectural difference between the two platforms?
-
Adeptiv AI is built around unified operational AI lifecycle governance — connecting inventory, risk assessment, compliance documentation, and real-time production monitoring in one integrated platform across 38+ regulations. The architecture prioritizes end-to-end lifecycle continuity.
Modulos AI is built around a Governance Graph — frameworks, requirements, controls, and evidence connected in one structured data model. The architecture prioritizes GRC efficiency: one control satisfying multiple frameworks simultaneously, automated by AI agents that compress control assessment and evidence processing.
One optimizes for lifecycle governance breadth and regulatory coverage depth. The other optimizes for GRC efficiency and quantitative risk reporting velocity.
Which platform better supports EU AI Act compliance?
-
Both platforms cover EU AI Act compliance. Adeptiv AI includes the EU AI Act within its 38+ regulation framework with specific support for high-risk AI system governance under Annex III classifications, particularly for BFSI use cases. Modulos AI has pre-built EU AI Act framework mappings with continuous runtime inspection maintaining compliance posture in real time.
The key differentiation: if EU AI Act compliance sits alongside broader multi-jurisdictional obligations (BFSI or healthcare regulations beyond the EU), Adeptiv's regulatory breadth is advantageous. If EU AI Act sits within a cluster of overlapping EU obligations — NIS2, DORA, GDPR, ISO 42001 — Modulos's Governance Graph eliminates duplicate implementation work.
Which platform is more suitable for banking and financial services?
-
Both platforms address BFSI AI governance from different angles. Adeptiv AI has documented industry-specific use cases for credit risk governance and investment advisory AI, with audit-ready documentation designed for regulatory examination defensibility. Its 38+ regulation coverage includes sector-specific financial resilience frameworks like DORA and the Data Protection Act 2023 beyond the EU.
Modulos AI covers DORA and NIS2 alongside EU AI Act — directly relevant for EU financial institutions with overlapping ICT and AI regulatory obligations. Monetary risk quantification aligns naturally with financial risk management reporting standards.
If regulatory examination readiness from financial regulators is the priority, Adeptiv's BFSI focus is a clear advantage. If managing overlapping EU financial obligations with quantitative risk reporting is the priority, Modulos's architecture is more directly applicable.
How does Modulos AI's risk quantification approach compare to Adeptiv AI?
-
Modulos AI quantifies AI risk in monetary terms — EUR, CHF, or USD — using Monte Carlo simulation to model complex interdependent risks and produce probability distributions rather than point estimates. A Risk Agent automates quantification using Fermi estimation, auditing its own reasoning before delivering results. Organizations define risk appetite limits and receive automated alerts when AI projects exceed allocated risk budgets.
Adeptiv AI uses gap analysis-based risk assessment integrated into the governance workflow, with risk classifications tied to regulatory obligations and lifecycle status. This approach serves compliance-led organizations where risk assessment primarily informs documentation and audit readiness rather than financial risk reporting to boards or risk committees.
How do the platforms approach shadow AI detection?
-
Modulos AI has a dedicated Shadow AI module addressing six detection surfaces: naive employee usage of consumer AI tools, convenience-driven bypass of approved AI, senior-level defiant usage, AI embedded in already-approved SaaS tools (estimated at ~70% of AI interactions by 2026), autonomous agents taking unsanctioned actions, and vendor-supplied AI in existing software. Detection signals are mapped to EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIS2, and DORA.
Adeptiv AI includes organization-wide AI inventory discovery that encompasses unregistered systems within the broader lifecycle governance workflow. Where shadow AI detection is the primary governance concern, Modulos's more explicit multi-surface framework is purpose-designed for that specific problem.
