Executive Summary

  • Wisr AI Systems Inc. announced plans to launch a dual‑use AI‑driven cybersecurity and third‑party risk intelligence platform targeting both commercial enterprises and national defence sectors in Canada.
  • The platform will be capable of on‑premise, secure cloud, or military‑grade deployment, ensuring data residency and compliance with NIST standards.
  • An alpha release is targeted for Q2 2026, with a Minimum Viable Product expected mid‑2026 followed by phased sector rollouts.

Key Details

  • Product Focus: Dual‑use Defence Platform built on Wisr AI’s core predictive capabilities and the recently acquired RiskAssure automation technology.
  • Deployment Options: Secure federal cloud, protected on‑premise infrastructure, or military‑grade systems with full data‑residency control.
  • Core Capabilities:
  • Predictive vendor risk modelling using real‑time breach disclosures and dark‑web intelligence to generate dynamic AI‑driven risk scores.
  • Automated compliance assistance via an agentic Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) workflow, reducing third‑party questionnaire effort by 60 %–80 %.
  • Target Industries: Defence & Aerospace, Critical Minerals & Energy, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Transportation & Logistics.
  • Regulatory Alignment: Designed to meet NIST‑compliant security architecture and configurable data residency for Canadian or EU regions.
  • Potential Funding Sources: Strategic Response Fund (SRF) and Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Program; may assist contractors in meeting Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) obligations.
  • Timeline:
  • Alpha launch – Q2 2026
  • Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – Mid‑2026
  • Phased sector rollouts thereafter.
