Compliance Automation

The common goal for any compliance initiative an organization takes is to ensure adherence to regulations and industry frameworks. Compliance is demonstrated to regulatory authorities, auditors, customers, and even vendors. However, ensuring compliance is a challenging undertaking in today’s complex data environment.

Many organizations use siloed tools for compliance. These disconnected systems fail to scale with the current needs of modern compliance. Not only are the typical methods outdated and error-prone, but they are also not effective against the complex nature of today’s data and AI governance. Moreover, the reporting process for compliance is time-consuming, often burdening teams with manual tasks. Since an organization may have to adhere to multiple regulations in different jurisdictions, it has become ever more difficult to ensure compliance with various obligations.

An automated compliance management system is a must here, and without it, organizations may face serious implications, such as operational inefficiencies, non-compliance, loss of customer trust, and reputational damage.

DSPM solutions enable organizations to overcome these hurdles and risks with an automated compliance management framework. These automated systems streamline the complete lifecycle of compliance management via a unified platform that simplifies compliance testing, tracking, and reporting. It does so across a wide array of regulatory standards.

Among the core capabilities of this solution is the automated compliance reporting capability. It helps compliance teams quickly create stakeholder-specific reports that can later be shared with regulators, auditors, privacy leaders, or internal executives. The compliance management further features integrated frameworks and tests that are mapped to numerous data protection and AI regulations, such as the GDPR, CPRA, NIST AI RMF, or the EU AI Act. The predefined controls streamline compliance assessment across different regions and teams.

Compliance teams can leverage the real-time compliance monitoring functionality to gain a comprehensive view of their data and AI systems’ compliance posture. With these insights, teams can identify and detect compliance risks early and remediate them proactively. Where automated controls are not applicable, the solution integrates human-in-the-loop attestation workflows. These workflows allow teams to validate compliance controls and gather important evidence manually while making sure that they align with regulatory requirements.

One of compliance management’s core capabilities is the regulatory intelligence it offers, including the cross-border context. This helps the tool easily identify regulatory requirements, such as sovereignty laws, allowing for enhanced compliance at scale.

In addition, the solution helps automate security controls exceeding the minimum threshold that most compliance frameworks require. This powerful approach enables teams to effectively enforce and report on different regulations.
