კონტექსტზე დამოკიდებული ადაპტიული პრომპტის გენერაცია მრავალფრემოვანი უსაფრთხოების კითხვარისთვის

Abstract
Enterprises today juggle dozens of security frameworks—SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI‑DSS, GDPR, and many more. Each framework poses a unique set of questionnaires that security, legal, and product teams must answer before a single vendor deal can close. Traditional methods rely on manually copying answers from static policy repositories, which leads to version drift, duplicated effort, and increased risk of non‑compliant responses.

Procurize AI introduces Context‑Aware Adaptive Prompt Generation (CAAPG), a generative‑engine‑optimized layer that automatically crafts the perfect prompt for any questionnaire item, taking into account the specific regulatory context, the maturity of the organization’s controls, and real‑time evidence availability. By combining a semantic knowledge graph, a retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) pipeline, and a lightweight reinforcement‑learning (RL) loop, CAAPG delivers answers that are not only faster but also auditable and explainable.


1. რატომ მნიშვნელოვანია პრომპტის გენერაცია

The core limitation of large language models (LLMs) in compliance automation is prompt brittleness. A generic prompt such as “Explain our data‑encryption policy” can produce a response that is too vague for a SOC 2 Type II questionnaire but overly detailed for a GDPR data‑processing addendum. The mismatch creates two problems:

  1. Inconsistent language across frameworks, weakening the perceived maturity of the organization.
  2. Increased manual editing, which re‑introduces the very overhead the automation intended to eliminate.

Adaptive prompting solves both issues by conditioning the LLM on a concise, framework‑specific instruction set. The instruction set is derived automatically from the questionnaire’s taxonomy and the organization’s evidence graph.

Key components

ComponentResponsibility
Taxonomy ExtractorNormalizes free‑form questionnaire text into a structured taxonomy (e.g., Data Encryption → At‑Rest → AES‑256).
Framework OntologyStores mapping rules for each compliance framework (e.g., SOC 2 “CC6.1” ↔ ISO 27001 “A.10.1”).
Contextual Knowledge Graph (KG)Represents policies, controls, evidence artifacts, and their inter‑relationships.
Relevance ScorerUses graph neural networks (GNNs) to rank KG nodes by relevance to the current item.
Evidence SnapshotPulls the most recent, attested artifacts (e.g., encryption‑key rotation logs) for inclusion.
Prompt ComposerGenerates a compact prompt that blends taxonomy, ontology, and evidence cues.
RL OptimizerLearns from reviewer feedback to fine‑tune prompt templates over time.

3.1 Taxonomy Extraction

A questionnaire item is first tokenized and passed through a lightweight BERT‑based classifier trained on a corpus of 30 k security‑question examples. The classifier outputs a hierarchical tag list:

Item: “Do you encrypt data at rest using industry‑standard algorithms?”
Tags: [Data Protection, Encryption, At Rest, AES‑256]

3.2 Ontology Mapping

Each tag is cross‑referenced with the Framework Ontology. For SOC 2 the tag “Encryption at Rest” maps to the Trust Services Criteria CC6.1; for ISO 27001 it maps to A.10.1. This mapping is stored as a bidirectional edge in the KG.

3.3 Knowledge Graph Scoring

The KG contains nodes for actual policies (Policy:EncryptionAtRest) and evidence artifacts (Artifact:KMSKeyRotationLog). A GraphSAGE model computes a relevance vector for each node given the taxonomy tags, returning a ranked list:

1. Policy:EncryptionAtRest
2. Artifact:KMSKeyRotationLog (last 30 days)
3. Policy:KeyManagementProcedures

3.4 Prompt Composition

The Prompt Composer concatenates the top‑K nodes into a structured instruction:

[Framework: SOC2, Criterion: CC6.1]
Use the latest KMS key rotation log (30 days) and the documented EncryptionAtRest policy to answer:
“Describe how your organization encrypts data at rest, specifying algorithms, key management, and compliance controls.”

Notice the contextual markers ([Framework: SOC2, Criterion: CC6.1]) that guide the LLM to produce framework‑specific language.

3.5 LLM Generation and Validation

The composed prompt is sent to a fine‑tuned, domain‑specific LLM (e.g., GPT‑4‑Turbo with a compliance‑focused instruction set). The raw answer is then sent to a Human‑in‑the‑Loop (HITL) reviewer. The reviewer can:

  • Accept the answer.
  • Provide a brief correction (e.g., replace “AES‑256” with “AES‑256‑GCM”).
  • Flag missing evidence.

Each reviewer action is logged as a feedback token for the RL optimizer.

3.6 Reinforcement Learning Loop

A Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) agent updates the prompt‑generation policy to maximize the acceptance rate and minimize the editing distance. Over weeks, the system converges to prompts that produce near‑perfect answers straight out of the LLM.

MetricBefore CAAPGAfter CAAPG (3 months)
Average time per questionnaire item12 min (manual drafting)1.8 min (auto‑generated + minimal review)
Acceptance rate (no reviewer edits)45 %82 %
Evidence linkage completeness61 %96 %

These numbers come from a pilot with a SaaS provider handling 150 vendor questionnaires per quarter across 8 frameworks.


5. Explainability & Auditing

Compliance officers often ask, “Why did the AI choose this wording?” CAAPG addresses this with traceable prompt logs:

  1. Prompt ID: Unique hash for each generated prompt.
  2. Source Nodes: List of KG node IDs used.
  3. Scoring Log: Relevance scores for each node.
  4. Reviewer Feedback: Timestamped correction data.

All logs are stored in an immutable Append‑Only Log (leveraging a lightweight blockchain variant). The audit UI surfaces a Prompt Explorer where an auditor can click any answer and instantly view its provenance.


6. უსაფრთხოების და კონფიდენციალურობის საგანგებო განყოფილებები

Because the system ingests sensitive evidence (e.g., encryption keys logs), we enforce:

  • Zero‑Knowledge Proofs for evidence validation—proving that a log exists without exposing its contents.
  • Confidential Computing (Intel SGX enclaves) for the KG scoring stage.
  • Differential Privacy when aggregating usage metrics for the RL loop, ensuring no individual questionnaire is reverse‑engineered.

7. CAAPG‑ის გაფართოება ახალ ბუნებაში

Adding a new compliance framework is straightforward:

  1. Upload Ontology CSV mapping framework clauses to universal tags.
  2. Run the taxonomy‑to‑ontology mapper to generate KG edges.
  3. Fine‑tune the GNN on a small set of labeled items (≈500) from the new framework.
  4. Deploy – CAAPG automatically begins generating context‑aware prompts for the new questionnaire set.

The modular design means that even niche frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP Moderate or CMMC) can be onboarded within a week.

10. დასკვნა

Context‑Aware Adaptive Prompt Generation reframes the security questionnaire problem from manual copy‑paste to dynamic, AI‑driven conversation. By anchoring LLM output in a semantic knowledge graph, grounding prompts in framework‑specific ontologies, and continuously learning from human feedback, Procurize delivers:

  • Speed – answers in seconds, not minutes.
  • Accuracy – evidence‑linked, framework‑compliant text.
  • Auditability – full provenance for every generated response.
  • Scalability – seamless onboarding of new regulations.

Enterprises that adopt CAAPG can close vendor deals faster, lower compliance staffing costs, and maintain a compliant posture that is provably linked to concrete evidence. For organizations already handling FedRAMP workloads, the built‑in support for FedRAMP controls ensures that even the most stringent federal requirements are met without additional engineering effort.
