  • 🔍 Hunting through emails for evidence
  • 📊 Manually creating spreadsheets
  • ⏰ Evidence is out-of-date by the time audit happens
  • 💰 Expensive compliance consultants for point-in-time assessments
  • 😰 Scrambling right before audit deadlines

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”

1. Framework Selection

Section titled “1. Framework Selection”

Choose which compliance standards apply to your customers:

8 Frameworks Supported:

  • CIS Controls v8 - General cybersecurity baseline
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework - Enterprise risk management
  • ISO/IEC 27001 - International information security standard
  • SOC 2 - SaaS companies and service organizations
  • HIPAA Security Rule - Healthcare organizations
  • PCI DSS - Payment card processing
  • CMMC - DoD contractors
  • Custom Control Sets - Industry-specific or proprietary requirements

2. Automatic Service Mapping

Section titled “2. Automatic Service Mapping”

Our AI/RAG system automatically maps your services to framework controls.

Example Mapping:

Your Service: "Complete Asset Management"


Automatically Maps To:

You don’t configure this. The system understands semantically which services satisfy which controls.
