Cybersecurity Compliance Automation for Connected Devices
Finite State runs control mapping, verification, and evidence generation as one workflow, with the proof tied to the software you actually ship. The same evidence serves the frameworks your markets require, from the EU Cyber Resilience Act to FDA §524B.
The Challenge
Compliance Fails When Proof Is Manual
Most organizations know what they're required to comply with. Proving it, consistently and under scrutiny, is the hard part.
Disconnected from engineering
Controls and clauses live separately from how the product is built.
Rebuilt every time
Evidence gets gathered by hand for each audit.
Verification drifts
Status goes stale as software changes.
Separate systems
Security and compliance run on different tools and timelines.
The result is delayed submissions, audit findings, and a team that feels unprepared even when the work is done.
Our Approach
Connect Controls to What You Ship
The Product Security OS connects controls and clauses directly to requirements, verification, and build-level evidence, so readiness stays current as the product changes.
- The Finite State Platform supplies ground-truth inventory and vulnerability intelligence
- AgentOS maps controls to requirements and generates the supporting evidence
- Assurance Studio packages proof for audits and stakeholders
- Finite State Copilot answers questions against the artifacts in your account
Frameworks
Find Your Requirement
Every framework below asks for the same thing in different language: current evidence tied to what ships. Finite State derives the evidence from your software, then maps it to each framework's controls. Start with whichever is driving your timeline.
- EU Cyber Resilience ActApplies toProducts with digital elements sold in the EUTimingReporting obligations from September 11, 2026. Main obligations from December 2027.
- FDA §524BApplies toCyber devices in US premarket submissionsTimingIn effect since March 29, 2023

How the Finite State Platform Turns Regulations Into Evidence
Whichever framework you start from, the workflow is the same.
Map Controls and Clauses to Requirements
Standards, frameworks, and internal policies become structured controls and clauses, mapped to security requirements derived from threats, architecture, and policy. Every mapping stays reviewable, editable, and traceable to the original regulatory language.
Verify, and Keep Verifying
Define how each control gets verified: static or binary checks, configuration validation, test results, or evidence from reachability and VEX decisions. New builds, changed dependencies, newly disclosed vulnerabilities, and new obligations all trigger re-evaluation, so anything invalidated surfaces as a gap.
Build Evidence Chains
Each control keeps an evidence chain linking requirements, verification methods, artifacts, and builds, with timestamps, attribution, and review history. Chains persist across releases and stay inspectable.
Generate Reports and Evidence Packs
Reports and evidence packs generate from verified state, covering current status, outstanding gaps, and supporting artifacts.
Automation Your Auditors Can Follow
Automated compliance only helps if a reviewer trusts what comes out of it. Every output is deterministic, traceable, and gated on human review.
Repeatable Logic
AgentOS applies the same interpretation across products, releases, and teams, without depending on who happens to be doing the work.
Consistency that survives staff and vendor changes.
Outcomes
What Changes for Your Team
With compliance running inside the release workflow:
- Security and compliance work from one system of record
- Coverage scales across products without adding headcount
- Customer and regulator requests get answered without spinning up a project
- Submissions go out on schedule
Compliance becomes a steady state.

The text of a regulation rarely tells you what a reviewer will accept. Our practitioners interpret requirements, prepare documentation, and build repeatable compliance workflows, and managed CRA support is available for manufacturers working toward self-assessment.
