The definition

What is compliance automation?

Compliance automation uses software to reduce repetitive work involved in operating a compliance program. This can include control tracking, task assignment, recurring reviews, evidence management, reminders, remediation tracking and compliance monitoring.
  • Workflows

    Controls become assigned, trackable tasks.

  • Recurring reviews

    Periodic activities are scheduled, not remembered.

  • Evidence

    Proof is linked to controls and requirements.

  • Remediation

    Gaps turn into accountable actions.

Compliance should not depend on someone chasing everyone.

Most compliance programs contain hundreds of recurring activities. Someone has to:

  • Assign control owners
  • Request evidence
  • Follow up on overdue actions
  • Track remediation
  • Review controls
  • Monitor expiry dates
  • Update policies
  • Check whether evidence is still valid
  • Identify compliance gaps
  • Prepare for the next assessment

When this work is managed through spreadsheets, email and disconnected tools, compliance quickly becomes reactive.

The problem is not necessarily knowing what the framework requires.

The problem is making sure the work actually gets done.

Automate the work behind compliance.

Secusy converts cybersecurity and compliance requirements into structured operational workflows.

Instead of preparing your compliance program once a year for an audit, Secusy helps you operate it continuously.

  • Controls can be assigned.
  • Tasks can be tracked.
  • Evidence can be requested.
  • Gaps can become remediation actions.
  • Reviews can recur automatically.
  • Management can see what is complete, what is overdue and what needs attention.

Powered by OneCSF

OneCSF is the control architecture. Compliance Automation is the operating workflow.

Compliance Automation works on top of Secusy OneCSF. OneCSF maps requirements from multiple frameworks to the common controls your organization operates. Compliance Automation then helps manage the work required to implement and maintain those controls.

  • OneCSF

    What controls do we need?

  • Compliance Automation

    What needs to happen?

  • Owners + Tasks + Evidence + Reviews + Remediation

    The work that keeps controls operating.

  • Continuous Compliance Readiness

    A program you can see, not rebuild before every audit.

How it works

How Secusy Compliance Automation works

  1. Step 1

    Select your compliance requirements

    Start with the frameworks and requirements applicable to your organization, such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HITRUST and other supported frameworks.

  2. Step 2

    Establish your control environment

    Using OneCSF, relevant requirements are mapped against the controls your organization operates. This gives your compliance program a common structure.

  3. Step 3

    Assign ownership

    Assign controls, compliance activities and remediation actions to the appropriate people or teams, so every requirement can have clear accountability.

  4. Step 4

    Create recurring compliance workflows

    Turn ongoing responsibilities into scheduled activities: periodic access reviews, vulnerability reviews, policy reviews, risk assessments, supplier reviews, security awareness activities, backup reviews, incident exercises and evidence updates.

  5. Step 5

    Track evidence

    Request, upload or automatically collect supporting evidence and associate it with relevant controls and framework requirements.

  6. Step 6

    Manage gaps and remediation

    Convert identified gaps into actionable remediation items with owners, priorities and target dates.

  7. Step 7

    Monitor readiness

    Dashboards give security and compliance teams visibility into outstanding actions, control status, evidence and overall program progress.

Everything needed to keep compliance moving

  • Control workflow management

    Turn controls into operational activities rather than static checklist entries. Assign responsibility and monitor implementation across the organization.

  • Task assignment

    Create tasks for compliance activities, control implementation and remediation, each with a clear owner and expected completion date.

  • Recurring reviews

    Schedule activities that need to happen monthly, quarterly, annually or according to your organization's own review cycle.

  • Reminders and follow-ups

    Reduce manual chasing by prompting owners when compliance activities require attention.

  • Gap tracking

    Identify missing or incomplete requirements and track their remediation through completion.

  • Evidence workflows

    Request and manage evidence linked to relevant controls and requirements. Deeper automation can integrate evidence collection with supported systems.

  • Control monitoring

    Track whether controls are implemented, operating and supported by appropriate evidence.

  • Compliance dashboards

    Give security teams and management visibility into completed controls, outstanding activities, overdue tasks, open gaps, evidence status, remediation progress and framework readiness.

  • Multi-framework management

    Operate compliance workflows across multiple frameworks without maintaining a completely separate operating process for each.

Automate the collection of supporting evidence from connected systems.

What compliance automation looks like in practice

Consider a quarterly user access review.

Without automation

  • Someone remembers the review is due.
  • They export a list of users.
  • They email system owners.
  • They wait for responses.
  • They chase outstanding responses.
  • They save screenshots or spreadsheets somewhere.
  • Three months later, the process begins again.

With Secusy

  • Quarterly review becomes due
  • Task automatically enters the compliance workflow
  • Control owner reviews user access
  • Supporting evidence is uploaded or collected
  • Review is completed
  • Evidence remains associated with the applicable control
  • Relevant framework requirements are updated

The compliance activity becomes a repeatable operating process rather than an audit-time scramble.

Move from audit preparation to continuous readiness.

Compliance is not a single event. Controls change. Employees join and leave. Systems are introduced. Policies expire. Vulnerabilities appear. Suppliers change. Evidence becomes outdated.

Secusy helps organizations manage compliance as an ongoing operating process. Instead of asking “Are we ready for the audit?” your team can continuously understand:

  • What is working?
  • What is overdue?
  • What evidence is missing?
  • What changed?
  • What needs remediation?

That makes audit preparation the output of a well-run compliance program rather than a separate emergency project.

Stop collecting every screenshot manually.

Some compliance evidence can be gathered directly from the systems your organization already uses.

Secusy's Automated Evidence Collection capability is designed to connect supported cloud, identity, infrastructure and security systems with your compliance environment. Where supported, evidence can be collected and associated with relevant controls without requiring teams to manually reproduce the same proof repeatedly.

Compliance Automation manages the workflow. Automated Evidence Collection helps provide the proof.

Manage several frameworks through one workflow.

With OneCSF, Secusy can map your organizational controls across multiple applicable frameworks, so a single operational activity may contribute toward several compliance requirements.

  • ISO 27001 requirement

    Mapped from the Security awareness control

  • SOC 2 criteria

    Mapped from the Security awareness control

  • PCI DSS requirement

    Mapped from the Security awareness control

  • HITRUST requirement

    Mapped from the Security awareness control

Instead of operating four completely separate compliance activities, Secusy helps you manage the underlying organizational control and its applicable mappings. Explore OneCSF →

Connect compliance gaps to cybersecurity risk.

Not every compliance gap has the same importance. Secusy can connect compliance activities with your wider cyber risk program so teams can understand the security significance behind remediation decisions.

  • Requirement
  • Control
  • Risk
  • Remediation action
  • Owner
  • Resolution

This helps move compliance beyond checklist management.

Prioritize remediation based on cyber risk, not compliance status alone.

Need someone to run the program with you?

Automation removes administrative effort. It does not replace cybersecurity leadership.

Secusy vCISO Services combine the platform with experienced cybersecurity leadership from ValueMentor. Your vCISO can use Secusy to help:

  • Establish your cybersecurity governance program
  • Prioritize compliance initiatives
  • Assign and monitor security actions
  • Review cyber risks

This gives growing organizations both the platform to operate the program and the expertise to guide it.

When the audit comes, your program is already organized.

Audit preparation becomes significantly easier when controls, responsibilities, evidence and remediation have been maintained throughout the year. Secusy helps organize:

For organizations approaching a formal assessment, Secusy's audit preparation capabilities can help structure the next stage of the process. The auditor or assessor ultimately determines the evidence and testing required.

  • Applicable requirements
  • Control implementation status
  • Supporting evidence
  • Outstanding gaps
  • Remediation records
  • Control owners
  • Review history

Turn readiness gaps and audit findings into accountable remediation workflows.

Automate recurring policy reviews, ownership and approval workflows.
