Compliance Automation Services
Compliance automation that keeps evidence ready.
Your controls may already run in cloud, identity, ticketing, HR, and source-control systems. The manual work is collecting the proof, matching it to requirements, chasing owners, and rebuilding the same audit pack. We create compliance automation that turns those recurring tasks into a controlled, reviewable workflow.
Bring the problem, the current workflow, or the existing code. We reply with a practical next step within one business day.

The brief
Start with what is not working.
Good software decisions begin with the constraint, not a list of features or a preferred technology.
01
Does audit preparation still start with screenshots, exports, and a spreadsheet of missing evidence?
02
Are control failures found during review because nobody saw the missing check when it happened?
Plain answer
Compliance automation collects evidence, routes exceptions, and keeps an audit trail across business systems. RaftLabs creates custom software when standard platforms cannot reach proprietary infrastructure. Each phase is scoped and priced in writing before development starts.
The audit rush starts because the evidence trail was never a workflow.
An owner exports an access list. Engineering finds deployment approvals. HR checks policy acknowledgments. Someone pastes every file into the right folder and updates a control spreadsheet by hand. The systems hold most of the proof, but the trail between control, evidence, review, and exception is missing.
Compliance automation creates that trail as the work happens. People still decide whether a control is adequate and how to handle an exception. They stop rebuilding the record from scratch.
Custom compliance automation is for the gaps standard platforms cannot reach.
If a recognised platform covers your framework, systems, and workflow cleanly, buying it will usually cost less than custom development.
A fit
Important evidence sits in proprietary, on-premise, or poorly supported systems.
Your control set or approval route does not fit a standard framework template.
The workflow must sit inside existing risk, security, or operations software.
Not a fit
Your systems and controls fit the connectors of an established compliance platform.
You have not chosen a framework or assigned owners to the controls.
You need certification, legal interpretation, or an audit opinion rather than software.

Scope
What cross-framework automation can cover
Evidence collection
Pull defined records from cloud, identity, HR, ticketing, source-control, and internal systems on a schedule. Each item keeps its source, collection time, control mapping, and review status so a screenshot does not become an unexplained file in an audit folder.
Control checks and exceptions
Run checks with clear, testable rules and send missing evidence or failed conditions to a named owner. The workflow records review and remediation. It does not decide whether the wider compliance program is adequate.
Policy and vendor workflows
Track policy versions, approvals, acknowledgments, vendor questionnaires, evidence requests, and reassessment dates. Reminders and escalation follow your rules, while exceptions remain with the compliance or risk owner.
Evidence library and reporting
Give reviewers a searchable record by framework, control, period, owner, and source. Export the evidence and decision history needed for an audit without granting broad production access or recreating the record at the end of the period.
Security operations workflows we automate
Compliance evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST usually has to be built on top of what the security team already does every day. We connect that daily work to the control framework, so the same operational systems produce audit evidence as a by-product.
Joiner-mover-leaver access
When someone joins, changes roles, or leaves, their system access should change with them, driven by your HR system rather than a ticket queue. We build access-review workflows that pull current access data, route certification tasks to the right managers, escalate when reviews go unanswered (non-response is flagged for security review, not treated as approval), and enforce revocations automatically. Former employees with still-active accounts is a finding auditors check for. This workflow closes it.
Vulnerability evidence from your scanners
We aggregate scan results from tools like Tenable, Qualys, or Rapid7. Findings are prioritised against your asset criticality and business context: a critical on a customer-facing system is not the same as a critical on an isolated test box. Remediation tasks go to the right team with deadlines attached. Fix-rate reporting by severity and owner gives your CISO a defensible answer when auditors ask how quickly critical vulnerabilities get remediated, replacing the shared spreadsheet most teams still use.
Threat context during investigations
When analysts investigate an incident, we surface relevant threat intelligence at that moment: which indicators of compromise appear in your environment, and the likely attacker techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. MITRE ATT&CK is the industry's shared catalog of how attackers actually behave: the specific techniques they use, from phishing tricks to ways of moving through a network. Detection models flag likely matches for human review. The operational layer turns raw threat feeds into analyst-facing context during an investigation, not a weekly report nobody has time to read.
Continuous SOC 2 and ISO 27001 workflows
Evidence collection pulls access logs, configuration states, and policy acknowledgments from cloud infrastructure, SaaS tools, and identity systems on a continuous schedule, mapped to the relevant control requirements. When a control drifts from its required state, you find out then, not at the next audit. Audit preparation moves from a last-minute manual assembly project toward an evidence library that stays current.
Rollout
A practical compliance automation rollout
One control family is enough to prove whether the approach works.
- Phase 101
Inventory controls and evidence
Choose one framework or control family. Map each recurring check to its owner, source system, evidence format, review cadence, and exception path.
- Phase 202
Prove the connector path
Connect three to five high-friction evidence sources. Store each item with its control, source, collection time, and access rules, then compare the result with your current audit sample.
- Phase 303
Add review and exceptions
Route missing or failed checks to named owners. Record review, remediation, and approval without turning a technical rule into a compliance judgment.
- Phase 404
Expand from measured results
Compare collection time, missing evidence, and exception age with the manual baseline. Add controls, systems, or reporting only where the result supports the next phase.
Relevant regulated-software delivery
We have not published a case study for a standalone multi-framework compliance platform. The work below is adjacent proof, not a claim that one framework proves another. The healthcare project shows how we handled protected data with HIPAA-eligible infrastructure and anonymisation.

Common questions
Compliance automation uses software to collect evidence, run repeatable checks, route exceptions, track acknowledgments, and keep an audit trail. It reduces administrative work around a compliance program. It does not choose the applicable framework, interpret legal duties, certify compliance, or replace the people responsible for risk and control decisions.
Start with a recurring task that has clear rules, named owners, and reliable source data. Common first candidates include access evidence, change approvals, policy acknowledgments, vendor-review reminders, or one audit evidence pack. A narrow first workflow is easier to validate than a dashboard spanning several frameworks and incomplete data sources.
Custom software makes sense when evidence sits in proprietary or legacy systems, controls differ from standard templates, or the workflow must live inside an existing internal product. Buy an established platform when its framework coverage and connectors already fit. We assess both options before proposing custom work.
No. Compliance automation keeps recurring controls, evidence, and policy tasks current between reviews. Audit management software plans and runs audit engagements, including requests, workpapers, findings, remediation, and reports. The two can share evidence and control records, but they solve different operating problems.
A focused first release covers one framework or control family with three to five integrations. Cost grows with connector complexity, data retention, approval rules, multi-framework mapping, and auditor access. Each phase is scoped and priced before development starts.
Access changes are driven from your HR system: when someone joins, moves roles, or leaves, provisioning and deprovisioning run automatically rather than waiting on a ticket queue. Access certification workflows pull current access data, route review tasks to the right managers, escalate reviews that go unanswered within a configurable window, and enforce revocations for access that isn't recertified. Non-response is flagged for security review instead of being treated as approval. The audit trail records every request, response, escalation, and revocation, which is the evidence auditors need to confirm the process was enforced.
Yes. We aggregate scan results from tools like Tenable, Qualys, or Rapid7, apply risk-based prioritization against your asset criticality and business context, and route remediation tasks to the right team with SLA targets attached. Fix-rate tracking and SLA compliance reporting give your CISO a defensible answer when auditors ask how quickly critical vulnerabilities get remediated. This replaces the spreadsheet-based vulnerability tracking most security teams still rely on.
Yes. Evidence is mapped to the relevant control requirements of SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, or a custom control framework, collected continuously from your cloud infrastructure, SaaS tools, and identity systems rather than assembled by hand before each audit. Continuous control monitoring alerts you when controls drift from their required state, so audit preparation moves from a weeks-long manual project toward an always-current evidence library.
Run your real stack through the trial and plant gaps on purpose to see which tool actually catches them. Pressure-test evidence automation in the demo, and test the auditor experience and evidence exports. Decide Type I versus Type II first: it changes how much continuous readiness matters on day one. Map existing controls to required frameworks before demos; buying blind leads to configuration sprawl.
Force every vendor quote into one three-year number: platform fee plus onboarding plus audit plus pen test plus renewals. The subscription line item is one part of the number. Match the tool to the buyer profile, not the feature count: more complexity increases cost and implementation time. One set of controls can serve multiple certifications via shared control mapping, but ask whether ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIST are native implementations or mapped overlays.
For first-time SOC 2 or ISO 27001, quality of onboarding support matters more than any individual feature. Evidence collected by hand goes stale quickly: automated evidence collection from integrated systems beats periodic screenshot sprints. Continuous control monitoring through the observation window means checking how monitoring flags drift, so a control does not fail mid-window. The audit rush starts because the evidence trail was never a workflow.
MITRE ATT&CK is the industry's shared catalog of how attackers actually behave: the specific techniques they use, from phishing tricks to ways of moving through a network after breaking in. Security teams map threat intelligence to it so that during an incident, analysts see the attacker's likely next moves in a format every security professional recognizes instead of starting from scratch. It matters for compliance because mapped, documented threat coverage is part of the evidence a mature security program shows its auditors.
