Compliance automation isn’t a future upgrade; it’s today’s essential defence in a digital-first economy. Businesses today face mounting pressure to meet complex regulatory requirements, such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001. Manual compliance processes are slow, error-prone, and expensive. That’s where Akitra comes in. As a leading provider of security and compliance automation, Akitra empowers organizations to stay audit-ready, mitigate risks, and scale their compliance programs effortlessly. In this blog, we’ll explore what security and compliance automation is and why it matters. Learn how automation simplifies audits, strengthens security, and supports business growth.
What is Security and Compliance Automation, and Why Does It Matter?
Automation in security and compliance refers to the use of technology to automate, administer, and track security controls and compliance operations in real-time. Instead of manually gathering evidence, managing documentation, or tracking controls across spreadsheets, automated compliance software like Akitra does the heavy lifting. By automating manual work in complex compliance tasks, Akitra enables businesses to stay ahead of their security and risk management. Teams gain a clear view of their compliance status in real-time, spend less time on repetitive tasks, and can prepare for audits much faster. What sets Akitra apart is its seamless integration of security and compliance into a single, easy-to-use platform.
Key Advantages of Akitra’s Compliance Automation Platform
There are 10 Advantages of Using Akitra’s Compliance Automation Service:
Automation Saves You Time and Money
SOC 2 compliance automation enables continuous evidence collection from workstations, servers, and cloud platforms—eliminating manual effort and reducing audit preparation costs. Akitra accomplishes this by integrating with all audit-relevant services, such as HR services that track employee onboarding and offboarding, DevOps systems, and cloud services platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Support for Multiple Frameworks
Built to support multiple frameworks, including SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, HIPAA, and GDPR. With centralized SOC 2 compliance automation built in, organizations benefit from consistent processes across frameworks—streamlining audits and simplifying long-term compliance management.
Ease of Use
From initial setup to a completed audit report, you’ll be guided through the compliance journey with an easy-to-follow, automation-assisted process.
Policies and Controls in a Box
The platform enables businesses to swiftly become audit-ready by leveraging automated workflows, real-time monitoring, and streamlined compliance processes.
Collaboration
Akitra facilitates communication between all company team members involved in the audit, as well as between the auditor and the organization’s compliance coordinator. Everyone is on the same page thanks to shared comments and task notifications.
Single source of truth
Akitra’s platform acts as a centralized hub for all policies, controls, evidence, playbooks, and reports ensuring that PCI compliance automation is organized, accessible, and streamlined.
Efficient auditing
The auditor portal enables auditors to access all relevant documents quickly and efficiently, facilitating a seamless audit process. Almost the entire SOC 2 report can be generated from the Akitra service, including details of how the company meets the compliance criteria, the tests performed by the auditor, and the results obtained. It also includes narrative explanations of the company structure, system architecture, and processes. These efficiency gains mean smaller invoices from auditors!
Broadest scope and flexibility for your evolving needs
With unmatched third-party integrations and support for seven compliance frameworks, Akitra’s platform ensures scalable PCI compliance automation that adapts as your organization grows. Even the management portal’s appearance can be customized to fit your brand.
Continuous monitoring for continuous compliance
Achieving point-in-time SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is a terrific first step. However, progressing to SOC 2 Type 2 requires demonstrating continuous compliance over several months. Only automated monitoring and continuous evidence collection make that possible.
