SmartRisk FAQ
Answers for teams evaluating what comes next.
A practical overview of the platform, medical-device fit, evidence model, implementation, and security diligence.
Platform
Who is SmartRisk for?
SmartRisk is designed for organizations that need a clearer, more defensible way to manage product risk or enterprise AI governance. Typical stakeholders include product and engineering teams, quality and regulatory leaders, AI governance owners, risk and compliance functions, legal teams, and executives accountable for technology oversight.
What is the difference between SmartRisk 1 and SmartRisk 2?
SmartRisk 1 focuses on structured product risk analysis and FMEA workflows, helping teams collaborate, improve documentation consistency, and produce audit-ready outputs. SmartRisk 2 is the evolving enterprise AI governance layer, designed around inventory, profiling, risk evaluation, validation, remediation, evidence, and monitoring. Organizations can use either product independently or connect them as part of a broader operating model.
Medical devices
How does SmartRisk support medical-device teams?
SmartRisk is shaped by medical-device quality and risk practices. It can support alignment across design controls, ISO 14971 risk management, quality systems, validation, traceability, change control, post-market signals, and regulatory evidence. It does not certify compliance or replace your quality management system, regulatory experts, or professional judgment.
Evidence
How does SmartRisk help with evidence and audit readiness?
SmartRisk is designed to preserve the context behind a decision: the system or risk considered, the people involved, the rationale, the selected controls, approvals, validation records, changes, and follow-up actions. This can make internal review and audit preparation more consistent. The exact evidence required remains specific to your organization, product, market, and applicable procedures.
Implementation
How is SmartRisk deployed, and what can it integrate with?
Deployment and integration scope are planned around the customer’s operating model, systems, and security requirements. During discovery, the SmartRisk team can map current workflows, sources of record, identity needs, evidence repositories, and handoffs. Available connectors, hosting options, data migration, and implementation timelines should be confirmed for your specific engagement.
Security
How does SmartRisk approach security and data handling?
Security and responsible data handling are treated as core governance concerns. A product conversation should cover access control, roles, data boundaries, retention, hosting, encryption, incident processes, and any regulated or sensitive information in scope. SmartRisk does not publish unverified certification claims here; current security documentation and contractual commitments are provided during diligence.
