Analyzing policies and documenting controls has long been a tedious, manual task for risk and compliance professionals — usually consuming significant time and effort while leaving room for errors, duplication, and gaps. But with Hailey AI, that’s changing fast. Today, I’m excited to share that we’ve enhanced Hailey’s capability to extract controls from policy documents, introducing major improvements to the process to deliver faster, more accurate results and bring you an even more powerful solution to control set creation. Let’s explore the features and benefits and what this latest upgrade means for organizations.
What’s new: Multi-format document support with the latest LLM technologies
Hailey’s enhanced capability makes it easier than ever to turn your policy documents into structured control sets, supporting a broader range of formats, including Word, Excel, and PDF. From the 6clicks Controls module, simply click Import control set and upload your documents. Hailey automatically analyzes the content to identify and extract individual controls along with their supporting details. The result is a ready-to-use control set that you can then review, refine, and publish.
Behind the scenes, Hailey leverages the latest large language model (LLM) technologies to understand and refine information, producing more structured and precise outputs. By combining AI-powered analysis with expanded file compatibility, this enhancement significantly improves the quality of extracted controls, even for lengthy or complex policy documents.
What are the benefits?
For organizations, this means greater consistency, efficiency, and reliability across compliance workflows through:
-
Seamless large-scale, multi-format processing – Automate the analysis of multiple files and large volumes of content. Hailey now supports policy documents in Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), and PDF formats and can process up to 75,000 words for greater flexibility. Support for additional formats such as CSV (.csv) and text (.txt) is a potential focus for future releases.
-
Rapid control set generation – Create complete control sets in minutes with AI-powered speed, accelerating setup and implementation.
-
Comprehensive control documentation – Capture essential information such as control names, IDs, descriptions, owners, responsibilities, and implementation details, automatically populating necessary fields and ensuring alignment with operational, technical, and regulatory requirements.
-
Reduced operational overhead – Eliminate manual inefficiencies and errors by leveraging AI-powered automation that references your original policy documents for greater precision.
-
Audit-ready control sets – Strengthen compliance with evidence-backed controls that build confidence in documentation and streamline audit readiness.
