What Makes an Effective Compliance Solution

  • Continuous Evidence Collection

    Automatically collect the required data from the enterprise apps and systems and organize them based on the compliance standard’s format. Traditional evidence collection for compliance purposes is done in one point in time, which should be repeated upon recertification. Continuous evidence collection ensures the freshness of the compliance status of the company.

  • Relevant Standards Covered

    Compliance Platforms is an emerging category, with lots of competition coming in as we speak. Know which InfoSec security standards you are subject to, and make sure your selected vendor supports as many of them as possible. The most commonly covered ones are SOC2, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001. According to your industry and geos of interest, you might be subject to others, such as HIPAA, ITGC, CSA, and more.

  • Easy Integration

    As with many SaaS-based products, this one is a key to achieve customer adoption: both in terms of the effort to integrate the service and the number of enterprise applications supported. It should take less than a few hours to integrate and should include integrations to most common apps and systems out of the box.

  • Compliance Scoping Guidance

    The compliance project owner is guided how to even start the compliance process, which teams should be involved, what type of evidence should be collected and in what format, etc. This capability is valuable for startup companies getting started in the compliance process for the first time, or more mature companies trying to tackle a new type of compliance standard.

  • Gap Analysis & Roadmapping

    A holistic view on the company’s compliance status on a daily basis, helping already-compliant companies remain so as they prepare for their external audit. Once most of the compliance related data is collected, a gap analysis is produced in form of a to-do list. This includes any recently-created gaps due to changing environments and configurations.

  • Auditor Communication Simplified

    No more endless emails or chaotic shared drives. The auditor is given access to the platform, where they can review all evidence and comment in one organized place. This allows for the entire audit to be managed in the platform, with nothing lost or left unhandled.

  • What does compliance automation entail?

    Compliance automation leverages digital tools and systems to ensure an organization adheres to regulatory standards and internal policies. By automating monitoring, enforcement, and reporting processes, this technology helps minimize human error and streamline compliance efforts, ensuring consistent adherence to laws and regulations. Key features include real-time monitoring for deviations, automated enforcement of policies, and generation of detailed reports. These features facilitate swift identification and remediation of compliance issues, making audits more manageable and reducing the overall risk of compliance breaches.

  • What type of regulations is possible to automate?

    Many types of regulations can be effectively automated, especially those necessitating consistent monitoring and data handling. Automation can manage various processes across different regulatory domains like:

    • Data Protection and Privacy Laws:
      • Data Access Management: Automate control over who can view and use personal data.
      • Consent Logs: Track and manage user consents to comply with regulations like GDPR or CCPA.
      • Data Deletion Requests: Facilitate the efficient handling of requests to delete personal data as required by law.
      • Breach Notifications: Automatically generate and send notifications in the event of a data breach.
    • Financial Regulations:
      • Transaction Monitoring: Automate the surveillance of financial transactions to detect and report suspicious activities.
      • Risk Assessments: Continuously analyze potential risks associated with financial operations.
      • Compliance Reporting: Generate reports detailing adherence to financial standards and regulations.
    • Healthcare Compliance:
      • Patient Data Monitoring: Ensure that access to patient data is continuously monitored and logged.
      • Data Breach Tracking: Detects and reports any unauthorized access to or disclosure of patient information.
      • Risk Management: Automate the assessment and mitigation of risks to patient data security.
  • How is it possible to implement continuous automation compliance?

    Implementing a continuous automation for compliance that maintains aligned the business operations with regulatory requirements requires strategic planning, and a commitment to maintaining a culture of compliance throughout the organization. It’s necessary to:

    1. Implement a centralized way to manage compliance policies that can be updated as laws and regulations change. This process should help in managing a dynamic risk assessment approach and distributing updates to all relevant parties and systems within the organization, and ensuring that everyone is operating under the latest compliance guidelines.
    2. IntegratIng the compliance platform a tools with the existing IT infrastructure (DBs, cloud stacks and so on…) in order to ensure that compliance checks are embedded within the normal flow of data processing
    3. Establishing Continuous monitoring processes and employee training to detect deviations from compliance norms and create a culture of continuous improvement.

    This approach ensures that the organization not only meets current compliance standards but is also prepared to adapt to future regulatory changes, thereby maintaining a robust compliance posture at all times.

  • What is a PCI compliance tool?

    Organizations involved in processing, storing, or transmitting credit card information find Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance tools essential for maintaining the security of cardholder data and achieving compliance with PCI DSS requirements effectively. These tools are crucial in building trust with customers and partners by demonstrating a commitment to security. A PCI automated compliance tool helps in any aspects of the compliance process in a continuous mode, reducing the manual effort required and minimizing human error and providing security features that protect sensitive data and reduce the risk of data breaches.
