The Cost of Manual Compliance

Are you still using spreadsheets, screenshots, and manual evidence collection?

Manual Compliance Reality

Compliance Automation FAQ

Everything you need to know about automating compliance

Compliance automation replaces manual spreadsheets, screenshots, and evidence collection with automated controls-as-code, continuous monitoring, and automated evidence generation. Instead of spending 3-6 months collecting evidence before audits, you have audit-ready documentation available 24/7. This reduces audit prep time by 70-90% and eliminates last-minute scrambling.

Typical time savings: Manual SOC 2 prep (200-400 hours) → Automated (40-80 hours, 75-85% reduction). Evidence collection that took weeks happens continuously in the background. You'll spend audit time reviewing, not hunting for evidence. Most organizations see 3-6 month ROI from reduced labor costs alone.

We automate SOC 2 (all trust service criteria), ISO 27001 (Annex A controls), HIPAA Security Rule, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CMMC, PCI-DSS, and custom frameworks. We map overlapping controls across frameworks so one implementation satisfies multiple compliance requirements.

Yes. Modern auditors prefer automated evidence because it's timestamped, tamper-evident, and continuous rather than point-in-time screenshots. We provide audit trails showing who made changes, when, and why - stronger evidence than manual documentation. Big 4 and major audit firms routinely accept our automated evidence packages.

Yes. We automate continuous evidence collection for all SOC 2 trust service criteria: security controls monitoring, availability metrics (uptime), processing integrity validation, confidentiality controls, and privacy compliance. Evidence is collected automatically throughout your audit period, not manually at the end.

We integrate with your existing stack: SIEM/XDR (Sentinel, Splunk), cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), identity providers (Azure AD, Okta), ticketing (Jira, ServiceNow), and version control (GitHub, GitLab). Controls-as-code validates configurations automatically and generates evidence without changing your workflows.

Typical ROI: Manual SOC 2 costs $50K-150K annually (internal time + consultants). Automation costs $20K-40K first year, $10K-20K ongoing. Add faster sales cycles (prospects trust automated compliance), reduced audit fees (less auditor time), and eliminated failed audits. ROI: 3-6 months, 200-400% over 3 years.

Yes, that's our specialty. We implement lightweight automation focused on high-value controls that satisfy auditors without overwhelming small teams. Typical startup implementation: 4-6 weeks to automated compliance, 40-60 hours of team time. You focus on building product; we handle compliance automation.

Typical timelines: SOC 2 automation (4-8 weeks), ISO 27001 automation (6-10 weeks), HIPAA automation (4-6 weeks), multi-framework (8-12 weeks). Implementation includes controls-as-code deployment, evidence collection setup, dashboard configuration, team training, and audit preparation. You're collecting evidence within 2-3 weeks.

We complement GRC platforms by automating technical controls they can't reach: custom cloud configurations, application-level controls, data flows, and complex integrations. Many organizations use GRC platforms for policy management and us for technical controls automation - best of both worlds.

Yes. We implement unified compliance automation across Azure, AWS, GCP, and hybrid environments using cloud-agnostic frameworks and platform-specific integrations. One compliance dashboard shows controls status across all clouds with cross-cloud correlation and unified evidence collection.

Yes. We provide comprehensive training: controls-as-code maintenance, evidence review, dashboard usage, audit preparation, and incident response. We document everything in runbooks and provide ongoing support. Most teams become self-sufficient within 30-60 days.

We collect: access logs (who accessed what, when), configuration changes (infrastructure-as-code commits), security monitoring (alerts, incidents, responses), vulnerability scans, patch compliance, backup validation, encryption verification, policy attestations, training completion, and vendor assessments. All timestamped and tamper-evident.

Our evidence repository is organized by control framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) with search, filtering, and export capabilities. When auditors request evidence for specific controls, you query the repository and export audit-ready packages in minutes, not days. We include auditor notes explaining automated evidence collection methods.

Yes. That's the point. From day 1 of your audit period, evidence collection runs continuously. No more scrambling 3 months before audit to recreate historical evidence. When audit time comes, you have 12 months of continuous evidence already collected, organized, and audit-ready.

Our automation flags gaps immediately with risk scoring, remediation guidance, and automated tickets. You fix issues as they appear, not during audit prep. We provide remediation playbooks, configuration templates, and implementation support. Most gaps are closed within 7-30 days depending on severity.

Manual compliance: $50K-200K/year (internal time + consultants + tools). Automated compliance: $20K-60K first year, $10K-30K ongoing. Additional savings: Faster sales (compliance proves security), reduced audit fees (less auditor time), eliminated failed audits ($50K-200K cost), faster remediation. Total ROI: 200-500% over 3 years.

Absolutely. Small companies benefit most because you lack compliance staff. Instead of hiring a full-time compliance person ($100K-150K/year) or expensive consultants ($200-400/hour), automated compliance costs $20K-40K first year and runs itself. It's cheaper than one employee and more reliable.

Yes. We recommend starting with highest-value controls (access management, security monitoring, vulnerability management) that provide immediate audit value. As you see ROI, expand to additional controls and frameworks. Typical path: SOC 2 Security (weeks 1-4) → Full SOC 2 (weeks 5-8) → ISO 27001 (months 3-4).
