RCSA Facilitation Agent

Drives the risk-and-control self-assessment cycle across the business.

Pre-populates each unit's RCSA from prior assessments, incidents and control-test results, drafts the risk and control descriptions, and challenges assessments that the evidence does not support. Produces an evidence-backed draft; the accountable risk owner reviews it and owns the ratings.
