Escape the Compliance Treadmill
The "audit fire drill" is a familiar pain: endless spreadsheets, frantic screenshot requests, and engineers pulled from product development for weeks. This manual, point-in-time approach is not just inefficient; it's a significant business risk. It creates a false sense of security, drains resources, and slows down your growth. In today's market, compliance isn't a checkbox; it's a continuous state of operational excellence and a key to unlocking enterprise revenue.

Client Overview
A fast-growing B2B SaaS startup with a disruptive marketing automation platform. They were gaining traction but hitting a wall with larger enterprise customers who required a SOC 2 report as a prerequisite for procurement.
The Problem
The startup's sales cycle was stalling. Their small engineering team was spending weeks manually answering security questionnaires and trying to gather evidence, pulling them away from core product development. They needed SOC 2 compliance fast to unlock a multi-million dollar sales pipeline.
"We were stuck. We had amazing technology, but we couldn't get past the security review with major clients. CIS didn't just give us a platform; they gave us a clear roadmap to our SOC 2 report, which directly translated into revenue."Jenna Raynor, CTO, ScaleUp SaaS Inc.
Key Challenges
- No dedicated security or compliance personnel on staff.
- Urgent need for a SOC 2 Type 1 report to close key deals.
- Limited engineering resources to dedicate to compliance tasks.
- Lack of formal policies and procedures.
Our AI-Enabled Solution
- Deployed our GRC platform, which automatically mapped their AWS environment to SOC 2 controls.
- Provided a full suite of customizable policy templates, saving weeks of writing.
- Automated over 75% of the evidence collection, freeing up the engineering team.

Client Overview
An established FinTech company providing payment processing solutions. They were facing increasing scrutiny from banking partners and needed to demonstrate continuous PCI DSS compliance, not just a point-in-time annual audit.
The Problem
Their annual PCI audit was a massive, disruptive effort involving multiple teams and hundreds of hours of manual evidence gathering. This "fire drill" approach left them vulnerable to compliance drift between audits and made it difficult to prove their security posture on demand.
"PCI compliance was our biggest operational headache. With CIS, it's now a background process. We know our state of compliance every day, not just once a year. The peace of mind is invaluable, and our audit process is now a formality."Marcus Dyer, Head of Security, FinSecure Payments
Key Challenges
- Complex, multi-cloud environment handling sensitive cardholder data.
- Difficulty in continuously monitoring PCI controls.
- High cost and resource drain of annual audit preparation.
- Pressure from partners to provide real-time compliance evidence.
Our AI-Enabled Solution
- Integrated with their AWS and Azure environments to continuously monitor PCI controls.
- Automated the collection of evidence for vulnerability scans, access reviews, and logging.
- Provided a real-time dashboard of their PCI compliance status.
- Created a secure, shared portal for their Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) to review evidence.
Client Overview
A digital health platform offering telemedicine and patient data management services. To expand their market and integrate with large hospital systems, they needed to achieve both HIPAA compliance and ISO 27001 certification.
The Problem
They were managing two separate compliance initiatives with significant control overlap. This created duplicate work, inconsistent evidence, and confusion for their teams. They needed a unified system to manage both frameworks efficiently.
"Trying to manage HIPAA and ISO 27001 in parallel with spreadsheets was a nightmare. CIS's platform was a game-changer. We mapped our controls once and could instantly see our posture against both frameworks. We passed both audits with zero major findings."Dr. Evelyn Morton, Chief Compliance Officer, HealthForward Technologies
Key Challenges
- Managing control overlaps between HIPAA and ISO 27001.
- Protecting sensitive Protected Health Information (PHI).
- Lack of a centralized system for risk management and policy control.
- Need to demonstrate a mature security program to hospital partners.
Our AI-Enabled Solution
- Utilized our unified control framework to map HIPAA safeguards and ISO 27001 Annex A controls.
- Automated monitoring of their cloud environment for HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards.
- Provided a centralized platform for their Security Risk Analysis and ISMS documentation.
- Generated combined reports showing their compliance posture against both standards simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive about our GRC automation services.
GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) automation involves using technology to streamline and automate the tasks required to maintain compliance with standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc. Instead of manually collecting evidence (like screenshots and logs), the platform connects to your systems via API and gathers this proof automatically, continuously monitoring your controls and alerting you when something is amiss.
While every company is different, our clients typically become audit-ready for frameworks like SOC 2 Type 1 in 4-8 weeks. This is a significant acceleration compared to the 6-12 months it often takes with manual, spreadsheet-based methods. The platform automates the heavy lifting, and our expert guidance keeps the process on track.
No, and that's a key part of our value. We are not an audit firm; we are an audit readiness and automation platform. We partner with your chosen auditors (or can recommend one). Our platform makes their job easier by providing a single, organized place for all evidence. This leads to a more efficient, less expensive audit for you.
Security is our highest priority. Our platform is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and built on best-in-class secure infrastructure. We use read-only API access wherever possible and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We practice what we preach, using our own platform to maintain our compliance.
Our goal is to save your engineers' time, not consume it. The initial setup involves a few hours from your engineering team to configure API access. After that, the platform runs automatically in the background. We handle the GRC-specific work, so your engineers can stay focused on building your product, not on compliance tasks.
Absolutely. This is one of our biggest strengths. Our platform uses a unified control framework, which means you can map your security controls once and see how they apply across multiple standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. This "comply once, report many" approach saves an enormous amount of time and effort.
