Generate regulatory action plans
Generate regulatory action plans by using the generate regulatory action plan agentic workflow in the Now Assist panel. This agentic workflow analyzes impacted areas and similar historical alerts to create change tasks and action tasks that help implement regulatory change.
Before you begin
Important: This agentic workflow is turned on by default. For more information, see Now Assist skills, agents, and agentic workflows on by default.
Role required: sn_grc_comp_genai.reg_change_ai_agent_user
Impacted areas must be associated with the regulatory alert. If no impacted areas are associated with the alert, the workflow returns a validation message and no tasks are created. For more information on adding impacted areas, see Add impacted areas manually to a regulatory alert.
Agentic workflows and their AI agents use role masking to determine which users can access them. Ones installed with Now Assist applications have specific roles that come included with the application. If you select Users with specific roles for user access, you must configure the security controls to include these roles. For the instructions to change the security controls, see Define security controls for an agentic workflow.
About this task
The generate regulatory action plan agentic workflow helps regulatory change management professionals create structured action plans for alerts in the New or In Progress state. The workflow analyzes impacted areas identified on the alert and references similar historical alerts to generate change tasks and action tasks. These tasks are grouped by type such as control update, citation amendment, and policy revision, and appear in the Regulatory tasks tab. You can accept or dismiss the proposed plan, and only tasks in the New state can be deleted manually.
Note:
When you modify an agentic workflow, AI agent, or tool, make sure that you update all instructions accordingly. To modify this workflow, duplicate it and adjust the settings according to your requirements. You can activate the workflow template by making the triggers active and setting the display settings to include the Now Assist panel. For more information, see Duplicate an agentic workflow.
