No Comments on Compliance and AI: Clarence Chio on how AI Transforms Vendor Risk Into Continuous Evidence

What is the intersection of AI and compliance? What about machine learning? Are you using ChatGPT? These questions are just three of the many we will explore in this cutting-edge podcast series, Compliance and AI, hosted by Tom Fox, the award-winning Voice of Compliance. In this episode, host Tom Fox visits with Clarence Chio, co-founder & CEO of Coverbase.

Chio and Coverbase are helping lead the shift toward AI-driven third-party risk management and vendor security. Drawing on his background in machine learning, security, and compliance, he argues that vendor due diligence is moving beyond slow, human-to-human questionnaire exchanges toward AI agents that can analyze standardized, verified evidence directly. He sees this as the next evolution of trust centers and attestation workflows but cautions that automation should not replace genuine accountability in areas that require human judgment. In his view, the best AI systems will accelerate reviews, flag uncertainty, and escalate gray areas to people rather than hallucinate or blindly accept responses.

Key highlights:

AI-Driven Vendor Assurance with Trust MCP
400-Question Vendor Review Paperwork Loop
Continuous exposure points in trust centers
AI Analyzing Vendor Evidence to Predict Breaches
Pristine Questionnaire Answers, Human Judgment in Due Diligence
Vendors’ Vulnerabilities Become Your Data Vulnerabilities

Compliance Into the Weeds

Compliance into the Weeds: Governing Agentic AI: DFS Cyber Risk Assessments, EU AI Act Accountability, and the Inventory Problem

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into compliance-related topics, literally going into the weeds to explore them fully and uncover hard-hitting compliance insights. Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss the growing compliance and cybersecurity challenges posed by agentic AI.

They focus on New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) guidance on cybersecurity risk assessments and a European survey Kelly cites. They argue DFS’s rule, requiring annual or as-needed reassessments after significant technology and threat changes and maintaining an accurate IT asset inventory, implicitly compels organizations to identify and track AI agents, even though agents are not mentioned. Kelly cites a Veeam Software survey of 1,000+ European executives reporting limited visibility into employee-created autonomous AI workflows and AI interactions with sensitive data, complicating EU AI Act requirements for human accountability. The conversation compares potential governance models to Sarbanes-Oxley sub-certifications and enterprise software management, questions whether CISOs can certify compliance amid decentralized agent creation, and notes potential enforcement avenues and the risks of industry self-regulation.

Key highlights:

Why DFS Guidance Matters
Risk Assessments Meet Agents
Accountability Under EU AI Act
SOX Style Governance Model
Enforcement and Self-Regulation

No Comments on Innovation in Compliance: Mara Senn on Vibe Coding a Credible Investigations Platform

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom welcomes Mara Senn, Founder and CEO of Ethakos.

What is innovation in compliance? Mara Senn certainly shows it in this podcast. Her path to founding Ethakos spans Big Law, early FCPA and anti-corruption work, investigations at the World Bank, and senior in-house compliance roles at major Fortune 500 companies. That experience gave her a clear view of the everyday frustrations compliance teams face, especially clunky tools, dirty data, and rigid workflows that slow down real investigations. She built Ethakos as an AI-native, highly configurable platform to solve those pain points, using “vibe coding” with Claude to move quickly while keeping human judgment at the center of every decision. In her view, the platform reflects a simple but powerful idea: AI should make compliance work faster and cleaner, not replace the expertise and risk-based thinking that good compliance professionals bring.

Key highlights:

Vibe coding Ethakos through dozens of decisions
Start with actionable hits, not meaningless alerts
AI-generated first drafts for chronologies and interviews
Audit logs and document-linked investigative credibility
Tech-forward compliance teams identifying 13 risks instead
