Governance & Risk · App 11
Govern the business from inside it, with evidence as a by-product
Contracts that create work, consent that is enforced everywhere, and controls that collect their own evidence, with Digital Employees preparing and people deciding. Planned for W3 onwards.
One system of record for an organisation's obligations, permissions and evidence, run on the same data as the business it governs, with AI Digital Employees doing the routine legal and compliance work under human control. Most companies govern their business from outside it: contracts in a CLM, consent in a privacy tool, controls in a GRC tool, statutory calendars in spreadsheets and evidence in mail and shared drives. One3 already holds the operational records, so this app turns that shared data into governed obligations, permissions and proof.
Five design rules
- Contracts create obligations; obligations create work. A signed contract is designed to feed renewal dates to Finance, SLAs to Service Desk, deliverables to Projects and controls to GRC as governed Actions, not just reminders.
- Consent gates every use of personal data. One consent ledger is checked before every send, render, profile, agent memory write and export in every app. This app never writes consent records itself; it calls the platform consent Actions, so there is exactly one consent ledger in the tenant.
- Evidence is a by-product of work. Controls, audits and findings read the platform event log and the Trust & Audit evidence store instead of screenshots.
- Findings become fixes. A failed control or overdue obligation creates a remediation Action in the owning app, such as revoking access, updating a vendor or pausing a campaign, with approval and audit.
- AI does the preparation, people decide. Legal conclusions are advisory and cited. Lawyers, DPOs, auditors and risk owners approve.
Thirteen modules
- W3: Contracts (CLM) and Consent Management (core), Privacy Ops and Policy-as-Code.
- W4: GRC, Enterprise Risk, Internal Audit (delivery proposed for W5), KYC/KYB, Fraud & Risk Scoring, Whistleblower & Ethics, Records Management, and AI Assurance & Model Risk.
- W5: eDiscovery & Legal Hold.
The modules share one evidence store. Contracts pass DPA terms to Privacy Ops and obligations to GRC; compliance risks roll up to Enterprise Risk; the risk register shapes the audit universe; audit findings land on GRC controls; KYC signals feed fraud scoring; ethics themes feed risk; and legal holds block records disposition.
Deterministic where the law is computed
Consent checks, notice and renewal date arithmetic, request and breach clocks, retention computation, hold checks, disposition eligibility, KYC rule outcomes, fraud rule scores and policy evaluation are deterministic engines. AI may draft inputs, explain results or extract data that a person confirms. It never decides whether consent exists, whether a hold applies or whether a record can be destroyed. There are no automated adverse decisions on people: KYC rejection of individuals, fraud blocks on individuals and ethics outcomes are human decisions.
Where it fits
The app runs on the platform's Trust & Audit, Admin & Policy, Approvals and Fact Register, and works with CRM, People, Finance, Office (Mail, Chats, Drive, Sign) and the AI Workforce. Restricted data such as ethics cases, KYC documents and held collections is routed only to in-region models.
Regulatory pointers
DPDP, POSH, vigil mechanism, KYC periodicity, e-stamping, retention statutes and framework licensing are recorded in the Fact Register and must be verified with counsel. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
Problems solved
What Legal, Risk & Compliance fixes
We don't know what we have signed or when it renews
Executed contracts are scattered across mail, drives and signing tools. Bulk import with AI metadata extraction, a searchable repository and renewal and notice-date tracking with owners address this.
Sales and procurement wait days for legal
Template drafting with conditional logic, playbook review with pre-approved fallbacks and approval routing by risk let low-risk paper move without a lawyer touching every draft.
We can't prove consent or honour withdrawal everywhere
One consent ledger per person and purpose, with notice versions, and withdrawal propagated to every subscribed app and agent.
DPDP requests and breaches are handled by email
A data inventory seeded from the shared data model, DPIA templates, a clocked data-principal request workflow and a breach workflow with decision records.
Audit season is a screenshot hunt
Controls mapped to platform events and connectors, continuous tests and an auditor workspace with evidence collected as work happens.
The risk register is a spreadsheet nobody updates
KRIs computed from platform metrics, treatments tracked as work and appetite breaches alerting owners.
We find fraud after the money has left
Explainable fraud scores on platform events, case management, blocklists and holds before high-risk Actions execute.
Litigation holds miss chats and AI agents
Holds across Mail, Chats, Drive and agent memory, with collections and review sets (W5).
Key capabilities
What you can do
Contracts that create work
Obligations from signed contracts become billing schedules, SLAs, deliverables and controls in the apps that execute them.
One consent ledger, enforced
The Action Bus checks consent before personal-data Actions and fails closed; withdrawal propagates to every app and agent.
Clocked privacy operations
Data-principal requests, DPIAs and breaches run as evidenced workflows with statutory clocks (to be verified).
Policy enforced as code
Versioned, tested policy bundles with blast-radius replay, shadow mode and a decision log.
Continuous control monitoring
Evidence collected from One3's own apps and connectors, with failed tests turning into remediation Actions.
Live risk register
Risks tied to objectives and appetite, with KRIs bound to platform metrics and board-ready heatmaps.
Verification through licensed providers
KYC and KYB checks run from the record that needs them, with results stored on the shared party.

ExploreWorkflows
How the work flows
End-to-end workflows inside the app and across One3.
Contract request to executed obligations
From a request on a deal or vendor record to obligations running in the owning apps.
- 1.A contract is requested from a CRM deal, quote, PO, vendor, offer or portal
- 2.A first draft is assembled from an approved template, or counterparty paper is ingested
- 3.AI extracts key terms with source spans and reviews clauses against the playbook (advisory)
- 4.Counsel accepts or rejects suggestions and redlines are sent only with lawyer approval
- 5.Approval routing applies DoA, deviations and counterparty risk
- + 2 more steps →
Consent withdrawal everywhere
A person withdraws consent once and every dependent use stops.
- 1.The person withdraws via preference centre, message link, WhatsApp keyword, voice or a staff-recorded request
- 2.Clear keyword withdrawals are applied immediately; ambiguous text becomes a proposal for staff
- 3.The withdrawal is written to the platform consent ledger
- 4.The withdrawn event propagates to Marketing, CRM, Service Desk, agents and voice
- 5.Queued sends are cancelled and confirmations recorded
- + 1 more steps →
Data-principal request
Access, correction or erasure requests fulfilled with evidence within configured clocks.
- 1.A request arrives by portal, email, WhatsApp, ticket or API and is triaged
- 2.Identity is verified by OTP, documents or representative evidence
- 3.Discovery resolves the person across records, files, messages, vectors and agent memory
- 4.An access report is prepared with third-party data redacted, or an erasure plan lists delete, pseudonymise or retain-with-reason per location
- 5.Blockers such as statutory retention and legal holds are checked
- + 2 more steps →
Failed control to remediation
A control test fails and the fix happens in the system that can make it.
- 1.Evidence is collected on schedule from platform logs and connectors
- 2.A deterministic test records a failure and an issue is created
- 3.A remediation is proposed as an Action in the owning app, such as revoking a leaver's access
- 4.The owning app's approver executes it at its own risk tier
- 5.The control is retested and evidence attached

Security & compliance
Built to be trusted
Restricted data isolation
Ethics cases, raw KYC and held collections sit behind restrictive scope policies, are revoked from read-only roles and are processed only by in-region models.
Relationship-based access
Matter teams, contract teams, case access, engagement teams and auditor portal scopes decide who sees what, mirrored into database predicates.
Consent and holds never switch off
If a module subscription lapses, data becomes read-only and exportable, but consent enforcement and legal holds keep working.
Hash-chained evidence
Action logs, audit events, disposition certificates and chain-of-custody records are hash-chained and immutable.
Agents bounded by design
Agent skills are limited to owner permissions, entitlements and autonomy, and a fixed list of Actions can never be invoked by agents. R4 Actions always need a person with step-up.
Pointers, not legal advice
Regulatory content is tracked in the Fact Register with sources and verification dates; customers should verify with counsel.

Frequently asked questions
When will Legal, Risk & Compliance be available?
Contracts, Consent Management, Privacy Ops and Policy-as-Code are planned for W3 (Year 2). GRC, Enterprise Risk, KYC/KYB, Fraud, Whistleblower, Records and AI Assurance are planned for W4, with Internal Audit delivery proposed for W5. eDiscovery & Legal Hold is planned for W5.
Will the AI give legal advice?
No. Contract review, regulatory summaries and similar outputs are advisory, cite their sources and are approved by lawyers, DPOs, auditors or risk owners.
Does this help with DPDP?
The app is designed around consent, data-principal requests, DPIAs and breach workflows. DPDP obligations and timelines are tracked in the Fact Register and must be verified with counsel; this is not legal advice.
Will you replace our eSign or KYC provider?
No. One3 integrates licensed providers for Aadhaar eSign, e-stamping and verification checks rather than operating those rails.
Can an AI agent delete data or release a legal hold?
No. Erasure, disposition and hold release are R4 Actions approved by a person. AI never decides whether a hold applies or a record may be destroyed.
Do I need other One3 apps?
The app gets most of its value from data already in One3, such as CRM, People, Finance and Office. External CRM and procurement systems can connect through thin connectors.
