# How to Automate Security and Privacy Reviews with Clearly AI

_Emily Choi-Greene · 2025-07-14 · Artificial Intelligence_

At Clearly AI, we’ve seen our share of complicated security and privacy workflows. Between the various source documentation, communication channels, SaaS tools, and the back and forth between teams to gather the necessary details, performing reviews from beginning to end is often incredibly manual and time consuming.

Most teams are juggling more reviews than they can reasonably handle, leading to backlogs and inconsistent coverage. [Clearly AI](/) was built to help reduce the tedious tasks in every step of your workflow, saving time and producing more accurate results by automating review logic, ingesting design artifacts, and validating control coverage against your internal policies and external requirements.

Check out some of the ways we’ve helped our customers simplify and streamline their processes.

## Start Reviews Automatically from Your Ticketing System

If your privacy and security review workflows get started through a ticketing system like Jira, Slack, and ServiceNow, automating the beginning of your process is simple. Clearly AI integrates with your ticketing system and can get started on your reviews as soon as the work is assigned. Each ticket triggers a structured review based on project type, linked artifacts, and predefined control logic, minimizing delays in review initiation. You can configure webhooks on different actions, such as tickets landing in a specific queue/project, a new comment on a ticket, or a new tag. By integrating with existing ticketing systems, developers don’t need to learn a new system. Clearly AI can communicate with them directly in the ticket, adding comments and attaching review results.

## Let Clearly AI Determine What Needs Review

Your team has the expertise to know what reviews are important for your feature or vendor review. Work with us to create a flowchart that Clearly AI can follow to automatically make recommendations for required assessments. These decision trees can factor in attributes such as data sensitivity, hosting environment, AI usage, third-party data flow, and regulatory exposure.You can even introduce a custom triage or risk scoring model. You can customize your experience to be sure that you have approval before Clearly AI gets started, or you can let Clearly AI get to work right away and review the assessments when they’re done.

## Auto-Complete Privacy and Security Assessments

Once we’ve determined the reviews your request requires, Clearly AI will begin auto-completing them. Whether you’re threat modeling new products, performing a privacy impact assessment on an existing use case, or a [vendor risk assessment](/blog/intelligent-vendor-risk-assessments) on a new vendor, Clearly AI has you covered.  We unify privacy, security, and compliance to create an overall understanding of risk.

AI can drastically reduce the time spent by automatically reviewing documentation, collecting additional clarification, and formatting your answers into the right forms for easy review and export. Clearly AI can pre-populate responses based on policy mappings, document metadata, and previously completed reviews for similar assets. Want something customizable for your company’s processes? We let users rapidly build new AI agents that can answer custom questionnaires, fill compliance tables, and draw bespoke architecture diagrams.

Each of these assessments can be mapped to control frameworks and standards, including NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, GDPR, and any company-specific common controls framework, enabling consistent, audit-ready output.

## Ingest the Docs You Already Use

Clearly AI ensures accuracy with built-in safeguards against AI hallucinations and highlighting areas where more information is necessary to make a determination. To help address those gaps, Clearly AI can pull in and process the documentation, emails, design documents, code, and more attached to your Jira ticket to locate source material. But that’s not the only place we can find answers. Integrate with your Google Drive, Asana, GitHub, Confluence, Azure, and more to give Clearly AI access to the sources necessary to complete your reviews. Clearly AI also supports structured ingestion from Swagger/OpenAPI specs, Terraform modules, and Git-based IaC to auto-document infrastructure and data flows.

To streamline things even further, we can contact your team members or vendors directly to ask for clarification or additional documentation to ensure the questionnaires are fully complete before sending them to the reviewer. All interactions are logged and included in the review history for traceability and audit compliance.

## Deliver Results Where Your Team Works

Once the assessments are complete, your reviewer is notified where they’re already working (Jira, Slack, Teams, etc.). Now they can spend their valuable time and energy on the most important strategic work – reviewing the final assessment – instead of getting caught in that muddled process in the lead-up.

Clearly AI can export your assessments, questionnaires, and reports as docs, excels, or PDFs ready to upload to your final destination. Even better, we can work with you to establish protocols for Clearly AI to automatically send the final reports wherever they need to go via email or your integrations. No more copying the same information into three or four systems. Just approve the review once, and let Clearly AI do the rest. For repeatable use cases, Clearly AI can auto-publish responses to portals or evidence repositories (e.g., Vanta, Drata, Google Drive).

## Build a Review Process That Scales with You

When the volume of reviews outpaces your capacity, automation becomes a necessity. Your workflow is unique to your team and the tools you use, which is why we collaborate with you to understand how you’re working and design a plan that makes the most of what AI automation has to offer. Clearly AI is highly customizable, so we can start by automating your biggest pain points and expand into other parts of your workflow over time. And if you’re ready to design a new process right away, we’re here for that, too.
