Manual due diligence once took days. CoreStream GRC’s new integration with Xapien Ai changes that.

The connecting systems transform how compliance teams uncover and assess risk. Built on CoreStream GRC’s belief that technology should be an enabler and not a barrier, it combines human-like intelligence with automated workflows. This delivers faster, smarter and more consistent decision-making, your way.

AI as a compliance partner, not a replacement

At CoreStream GRC, we believe that AI will not replace human judgment in compliance but it can redefine how that judgment is applied.

CoreStream GRC’s Xapien integration automates the labor-intensive work of data gathering, interpretation and reporting, so that compliance leaders can focus on what really matters: ethical oversight, strategic decisions and long-term governance.

Together, CoreStream GRC and Xapien demonstrate how technology and human insight can combine to make compliance faster, fairer and more forward-looking.

Why has CoreStream GRC chosen to partner with Xapien?

By embedding Xapien’s intelligence directly within CoreStream GRC, due diligence becomes faster, clearer and more consistent, without compromising the human judgment that defines ethical governance. It’s technology and insight working together, the CoreStream GRC way.

Through CoreStream GRC, users can now directly access Xapien’s next generation platform to produce comprehensive research reports and actionable insights for compliance teams.

Xapien’s features, which are now fully integrated within CoreStream GRC, include:

  • Natural language processing: Using advanced NLP, Xapien reads and interprets structured datasets, like PEP databases and corporate registries, alongside information from the entire indexed internet such as blogs and media articles, to identify tone, relationships and relevance across global content.
  • Entity resolution; Distinguishes between people and organizations with similar names, automatically connecting data points across geographies, languages, and corporate linkages to identify the real risk and reduce false positives.
  • Contextual Understanding; Goes beyond data matching to extract the narrative behind the facts, revealing not just what’s known about an entity, but why it matters for compliance.

At CoreStream GRC, we believe compliance technology should amplify human expertise, not replace it.

Xapien already supports due diligence for leading institutions worldwide including; YMCA, Pinsent Masons and Michigan Medicine. By embedding this capability into CoreStream GRC, we’re taking what works for the world’s best and making it even better.

“The volatile nature of today’s global business landscape is driving organizations to ask ‘should we do business with this partner’ not ‘can we?’ This means embracing technologies, like Xapien, that look beyond the outdated legacy databases and build a complete picture of any potential partner drawing on all the public information out there. Only once you have the truest, clearest insights can you make the most informed decision of how a business can move forward – this is what drives Xapien’s technology.”

Emily Morgan, Global Partnerships Director at Xapien
