Check Point Launches AI Advisory Service to Navigate Regulatory Maze

REDWOOD CITY, CA – March 05, 2026 – Global cybersecurity leader Check Point Software Technologies today launched a new Secure AI Advisory Service, aiming to guide enterprises through the treacherous landscape of AI adoption where rapid deployment often outpaces critical oversight and governance. The new service is designed to embed risk management and regulatory compliance directly into the AI lifecycle, addressing a growing anxiety among executives facing a perfect storm of operational risk and impending legal frameworks.

The Governance Gap in the Age of AI

The race to integrate artificial intelligence into core business functions has created a significant “governance gap.” While AI promises unprecedented efficiency and innovation, many organizations are discovering that its deployment is far ahead of their ability to manage it securely and responsibly. This gap exposes companies to a host of vulnerabilities, from flawed algorithmic decisions and data privacy breaches to significant accountability voids.

Boards and executive teams are increasingly under pressure as AI systems expand across complex hybrid networks, cloud environments, and digital workspaces. The challenges are multifaceted, stemming from poor data quality, a persistent talent gap in AI governance, and siloed operations where IT, data science, and legal teams struggle to coordinate. Without a structured approach, AI can quickly become a source of organizational chaos and reputational damage rather than a strategic advantage.

A Framework for Compliant Innovation

Check Point's new advisory service directly confronts this challenge by providing a structured, intelligence-driven framework to bring clarity and control to AI transformation. The offering is built to help organizations align their AI strategies with a daunting slate of emerging global regulations.

The timing is critical, with the European Union's landmark AI Act moving into its key enforcement phases. By August 2026, most rules for high-risk AI systems will become applicable, carrying the threat of fines up to €35 million or 7% of a company's global annual turnover. The service is explicitly designed to provide regulatory readiness not only for the EU AI Act but also for other critical standards like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), GDPR, and ISO 42001. This allows companies to build compliance into their AI systems from day one, rather than attempting to retrofit it later at great expense and risk. The service delivers concrete roadmaps, including AI risk and impact assessments with prioritized mitigation plans, enabling a proactive stance on compliance.

The 'Prevention-First' Differentiator

While the market for AI governance is becoming crowded with offerings from major consulting firms like Deloitte and PwC and tech giants like IBM, Check Point is leveraging its deep roots in cybersecurity to offer a distinct approach. The company is extending its well-known “prevention-first” philosophy from traditional cybersecurity to the domain of AI governance.

This means integrating controls and security measures at the earliest stages of AI development, not as an afterthought. The service is delivered through Check Point’s Cyber Resilience and Response unit, CPR Act, which connects global threat intelligence with AI governance. This integration promises to provide actionable guidance that is continuously updated to reflect new AI risks, regulations, and threats. Unlike a one-off consulting engagement that might produce a static policy document, this approach aims to create a living, adaptive governance lifecycle. It connects intelligence, readiness, detection, and response, offering a single accountable partner from strategy through execution.

“AI transformation must be governed with the same discipline as any other critical business system,” said Reut Weitzman, Director of Cyber Resilience & Response at Check Point Software Technologies, in the official announcement. “Our Secure AI Advisory Service help organizations innovate at speed while maintaining control, strengthening resilience and meeting global regulatory expectations.”

From Strategy to Execution

Check Point emphasizes that enterprises need more than just policy guidance; they require operational frameworks. The Secure AI Advisory Service is structured to meet organizations at their specific stage of AI maturity, offered in three tiers: Essential, Enhanced, and Total. All tiers include access to Check Point’s interactive AI Risk and Compliance Dashboard, providing a tool for continuous visibility and structured oversight.

This advisory service is not a standalone product but a strategic component designed to complement Check Point’s broader security architecture. It integrates with the company’s core strategic pillars, including its Hybrid Mesh Network Security for complex networks, Workspace Security for protecting users and devices, and Exposure Management for proactive risk prioritization. This unified architecture allows organizations to govern AI consistently across multivendor and hybrid environments without layering on additional operational complexity.

By combining vendor-agnostic advisory with its integrated, intelligence-led security platform, Check Point aims to help enterprises transform AI from a source of profound uncertainty into a controlled and powerful driver of business growth. This strategic move reinforces the company’s commitment to securing the entire AI transformation, ensuring that as organizations accelerate innovation, they are also building a foundation of resilience, trust, and long-term value.
