AI-powered risk registers address this by continuously ingesting data from SIEMs, control tests, and external feeds to provide real-time risk scoring, business impact quantification, and automated remediation tracking. A comparison table highlights key differences across risk identification, scoring, scaling, and reporting. The McKinsey Lilli breach (March 2026) is used as a case study showing how traditional registers failed to detect unauthenticated API exploits and SQL injection vulnerabilities. Regulatory drivers including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF 2.0, and DORA are accelerating adoption of dynamic risk inventories. The post concludes with a promotion of Centraleyes as a platform delivering these AI-powered GRC capabilities. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
