The $2.7 Trillion Legacy Problem

Banks and enterprises face a critical governance gap with aging mainframe systems:

40-year-old COBOL systems running mission-critical operations with zero AI governance
Anthropic's Feb 2026 COBOL modernization creates compliance uncertainty
No existing tool bridges mainframe data to modern AI governance APIs
Regulatory pressure (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF) with no path for legacy systems

🚀

Bridge the Gap — Governance for Legacy Systems

COBOL Bridge connects your mainframe architecture to modern AI governance compliance:

Parse CICS transactions and JCL batch jobs into compliance-ready data formats
Map COBOL copybooks to JSON schema for governance API integration
Real-time compliance checking (50-200ms latency) for transaction-level AI governance
Bulk batch operations for portfolio-wide governance assessments

3 Powerful Tools for Mainframe Governance

Everything needed to bridge COBOL systems to modern AI governance infrastructure.

📋

Copybook Parser

Parse COBOL copybook definitions into JSON schema mappings. Detect PII fields, map PIC clauses to JSON types, identify data classification for governance compliance.

🔌

CICS Bridge Assessment

Architecture and compliance assessment for connecting CICS mainframe transactions to AI governance MCP servers. Coverage includes CTG, web services, security models (RACF, ACF2, TopSecret).

⚙️

JCL Batch Scanner

Scan JCL batch jobs to identify data flows feeding AI governance systems. Detect datasets, DB2 queries, external transfers, and map scheduling to governance requirements.

Integration Patterns

Three deployment models from real-time to batch operations.

Real-Time (CICS → MCP)

CICS Transaction → CTG/Web Services → REST API Gateway → MCP Server. Latency: 50-200ms for transaction-level governance checks.

Batch (JCL → MCP)

JCL Batch Job → Extract → Transform (Copybook → JSON) → MCP API bulk call. Frequency: Daily/Weekly compliance assessments.

Hybrid (CICS + Batch)

Critical transactions get live checks, full portfolio scanned on schedule. Optimized for maximum governance coverage with minimal latency impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about COBOL Bridge integration.

What mainframe systems are supported?▸

COBOL Bridge supports all major mainframe platforms: IBM z/OS, VSE, i (iSeries), and AIX. CICS, IMS, and batch job (JCL) processing are fully supported. Security models include RACF, ACF2, TopSecret, and custom authentication.

How does the CICS Bridge work?▸

CICS Bridge creates a gateway between CICS Transaction Server (CTS) and modern REST APIs via CTG (CICS Transaction Gateway) or CICS web services. Real-time governance checks are executed at transaction entry points with minimal latency (50-200ms).

Is this CASA certified?▸

Yes. COBOL Bridge includes CASA-CA30 certification for Defence/Enterprise deployments. Mission Critical tier (Enterprise) includes CASA-ISS certification for mainframe systems integration.

What security models are supported?▸

COBOL Bridge integrates with RACF (Resource Access Control Facility), ACF2, TopSecret, and custom mainframe authentication systems. All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 with AES-256 encryption at rest.

How is latency handled in real-time governance?▸

Real-time governance checks are optimized for 50-200ms latency via CTG connections. For critical transactions requiring sub-50ms response, batch processing with hourly/daily governance assessments is recommended.

Real-World Use Cases

How enterprises are using COBOL Bridge for legacy modernization.

Bank Compliance Migration

Connect COBOL banking core to AI governance APIs. Real-time transaction governance for EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF compliance without re-platforming legacy systems.

Insurance Portfolio Governance

Scan JCL batch jobs for compliance data flows. Identify PII in policy administration systems and map to governance requirements for customer data protection.

Government Legacy Modernization

Bridge Social Security/IRS mainframes to NIST AI RMF infrastructure. Compliance for AI use cases while maintaining 40+ year old legacy systems in production.
