December wraps up 2025 with our most feature-rich release yet. We've added powerful new capabilities for evaluating large language models, redesigned how you interact with compliance frameworks, and refined the experience across the entire platform.
Here's everything new in VerifyWise v1.8.
LLM Evals module
The LLM Evals module brings structured model evaluation directly into your governance workflow
Evaluating large language models has traditionally meant piecing together scripts, spreadsheets and manual testing. The new LLM Evals module changes that by bringing structured model evaluation directly into your governance workflow.
Create custom datasets, define scoring criteria and run comprehensive experiments across multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic and Mistral. The module handles the complexity of API management with built-in retry logic and intelligent rate limiting, so you can focus on what matters: understanding how your models perform.
Whether you're validating accuracy, detecting hallucinations or benchmarking response quality across providers, LLM Evals gives you the data you need to deploy AI with confidence. Results integrate directly with your governance documentation, creating a clear link between model performance and compliance evidence.
Role-based access controls ensure that sensitive evaluation data, API credentials and experimental results are accessible only to authorized team members.
Modernized framework views for ISO 42001 and ISO 27001
The new tabular structure displays clause status, evidence count and completion progress at a glance
Navigating complex compliance standards just got easier. We've completely reimagined how ISO 42001 and ISO 27001 clauses, annexes and requirements are presented, replacing dense documentation with clean, scannable tables.
The new tabular structure makes it easier to work through compliance requirements. Each clause displays its status, evidence count and completion progress at a glance. This same modernized presentation extends to EU AI Act questions and subcontrols, creating a consistent experience across all frameworks.
Whether you're conducting gap assessments or preparing for audits, critical information is now exactly where you expect it.
Integrated user guide sidebar
The user guide sidebar provides contextual help without leaving your current workflow
Finding answers shouldn't mean leaving your work. The new user guide sidebar lives within VerifyWise, providing contextual help without switching tabs or searching external documentation.
Press the help icon anywhere in the platform to open the sidebar. Powerful search capabilities surface relevant articles instantly, and the content adapts to your current context. From compliance officers learning framework requirements to administrators setting up connections, everyone finds what they need without disrupting their workflow.
Activity history across entities
Each entity includes a dedicated history tab showing who changed what and when
Understanding how your compliance posture evolved over time is now straightforward. The new activity history feature tracks every change across your most critical records: vendor risks, vendor records, policies, incidents, use cases and project risks.
Each entity now includes a dedicated history tab showing who changed what and when. This complete audit trail satisfies regulatory requirements while giving teams visibility into the evolution of their governance program.
Enhanced policy editor
The policy editor now supports rich media including images, diagrams and formatted tables. Embed flowcharts, organizational structures, data architecture diagrams and requirement matrices directly into your policy documents.
This eliminates the need to maintain separate documentation tools. Your policies live in VerifyWise alongside the evidence and controls that support them, creating professional-grade documentation that stands up to audit review.
App switcher for multi-module navigation
The app switcher provides quick access to all platform modules with a single click
As VerifyWise grows to encompass AI governance, LLM evaluations, and future capabilities, navigating between modules needs to be effortless. The new app switcher sidebar provides quick access to all platform modules without losing context.
Switch from governance dashboards to evaluation experiments and back with a single click. Your work persists across modules, so you pick up exactly where you left off.
Vendor risk visibility
The vendors table now displays risk counts directly in the list view. Identify which vendors carry the highest risk profiles at a glance, without drilling into individual records.
This simple change enables faster decision-making and more proactive vendor risk management. Procurement and compliance teams can immediately see where to focus attention.
Improved reporting with native DOCX generation
Share compliance achievements with stakeholders using the upgraded reporting engine. Native DOCX document generation delivers cleaner exports that maintain formatting integrity across Microsoft Word and other document processors.
Combined with PDF rendering fixes, your compliance reports, audit documentation and executive summaries now render exactly as intended regardless of output format.
UI refinements throughout
Small improvements add up. This release includes refined form alignments in ISO annexes and task modals, unified StatusTileCards across modules, improved confirmation dialogs and enhanced dropdown menus. The redesigned onboarding flow helps new team members get productive faster.
Every interaction has been polished for efficiency and consistency.
