Prove Compliance Continuously, Not Just at Audit Time
Automate compliance workflows from control mapping through verification and evidence generation. Stay continuously audit-ready with defensible proof tied directly to shipped software.
Compliance Fails When Proof is Manual
Most organizations understand what they’re required to comply with. The challenge is proving it, consistently, repeatedly, and under scrutiny.
Teams struggle because:
- Controls and clauses live separately from engineering reality
- Evidence is gathered manually and rebuilt for every audit
- Verification status drifts as software changes
- Security and compliance operate on different systems and timelines
- Audit readiness becomes a last-minute, high-stress exercise
The result is delayed submissions, audit findings, and a constant sense of being unprepared, even when the work has been done.
Finite State automates compliance by connecting controls and clauses directly to requirements, verification, and build-level evidence, so readiness is maintained continuously, not assembled retroactively.
This is enabled by:
- Ground-truth inventory and vulnerability intelligence
- AgentOS to map controls to requirements and evidence using repeatable compliance logic
- Assurance Studio to review, validate, and package proof for audits and stakeholders
- Finite State Copilot to streamline review, collaboration, and sharing
How It Works
Map Controls and Clauses to Requirements
Regulatory standards, frameworks, and internal policies are ingested and translated into structured controls and clauses. These are mapped directly to security requirements derived from threats, architecture, and policy.
Mappings are explicit and reviewable—not implied or manually inferred.
What you get: Clear visibility into what must be satisfied and how it’s implemented.
Define and Track Verification Status
For each control or requirement, define how compliance will be verified.
Verification methods may include static or binary checks, configuration validation, test results, or evidence from security workflows such as reachability and VEX decisions.
Verification status is tracked continuously at the build level.
What you get: Real-time insight into what is verified, what is outstanding, and what has drifted.
Build Evidence Chains Automatically
Verification outputs are captured as traceable evidence.
Each control maintains a complete evidence chain linking requirements, verification methods, artifacts, and builds.
Evidence is versioned, attributable, and retained across releases.
What you get: Audit-ready proof without manual document assembly.
Re-Evaluate as Software Changes
As new builds ship, dependencies change, or vulnerabilities emerge, compliance status is automatically re-evaluated.
If prior verification is invalidated or new obligations emerge, gaps are surfaced immediately.
What you get: Continuous readiness that reflects current software, not last quarter’s snapshot.
Generate Audit-Ready Reports and Evidence Packs
Reports and evidence packs reflect current compliance status, outstanding gaps, and supporting artifacts, all derived from live system state.
What you get: Faster audits, fewer findings, and higher confidence in submissions.
Key Focus Areas
The workflow above is supported by a set of core compliance capabilities designed for consistency, traceability, and scale.
Control and Clause Mapping
Structured clauses and controls are mapped to security requirements in a way that is reviewable, editable, and traceable to original regulatory language.
- Impact: Compliance requirements are interpreted consistently and stay aligned with engineering reality.
Verification Status Across Builds
Verification status is tracked at the build level and updated as software changes.
- Impact: Teams always know the true compliance posture of what is shipping today.
Evidence Chains
Evidence includes artifacts, timestamps, attribution, and review history. Nothing is implied or reconstructed after the fact. Evidence chains persist across releases and remain inspectable at any time.
- Impact: Auditors can trace claims back to concrete artifacts without manual explanation.
Audit-Ready Reports and Evidence Packs
External-facing outputs are generated directly from verified state.
- Impact: Audit preparation shifts from document assembly to review and validation.
Meet Your Compliance Copilot
Turn regulatory requirements into executable, reviewable compliance workflows—grounded in shipped software and backed by evidence. Powered by AgentOS, Finite State’s reasoning and orchestration layer, the Compliance Copilot applies consistent compliance logic and presents results in a form humans can review, explain, and share with confidence. It’s not a chatbot or a black box—it’s deterministic, explainable, and auditable.
Apply a single, repeatable interpretation of regulatory obligations. The Compliance Copilot normalizes regulatory requirements and maps them to controls, verification artifacts, and product reality—so they’re interpreted consistently across products, releases, and teams without relying on manual parsing or individual judgment. Enables: Clear, repeatable understanding of what must be satisfied.
What This Enables
With compliance automation built into the workflow, teams can:
Maintain continuous audit readiness
Reduce manual evidence gathering and rework
Align security and compliance around a single system of record
Scale compliance without scaling headcount
Generate audit-ready reports and evidence packs
Compliance stops being a scramble—and becomes a steady state.
