What is compliance automation?

Compliance automation replaces manual audit processes with automated controls and reports. Instead of annual manual audits: continuous automatic verification of all controls. Benefits: reduced effort (80% less audit prep time), real-time compliance status, automatic evidence collection for SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS.

How does Moltbot automate compliance processes?

Moltbot compliance automation engine: continuous control verification against framework requirements (SOC2 TSC, ISO27001 Annex A). Automatic evidence collection from cloud logs, config exports, scan results. Policy-as-code: compliance rules as versioned code. Automatic report generation for auditor-ready documentation. Drift detection: alerts on control violations.

Which compliance frameworks does the automation engine support?

Moltbot supported frameworks: SOC 2 Type I/II (all 5 trust service criteria), ISO 27001:2022 (93 Annex A controls), HIPAA Security Rule (technical safeguards), PCI-DSS v4.0 (12 requirements), NIS2 Directive, DSGVO/GDPR (technical measures). Multi-framework mapping: one control can fulfill multiple framework requirements.

How long does compliance automation setup take?

Moltbot compliance setup duration: initial configuration (framework selection, integrations): 1-2 days. First automatic baseline assessment: immediately after setup. Evidence collection for first audit-ready package: 30 days (requires 30 days log history). Fully automated operation: after 90 days (all control cycles established). Comparison manual: 3-6 months for first audit package.
