RegScale Innovates Its Way to Another Industry Accolade

Winning awards is not primarily what motivates ourteam, but when one comes along, we’ll be sure to celebrate. For a decade, the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards have been recognizing solutions that advance the industry. So we’re humbled to have been chosen from thousands of nominations in dozens of countries to claim the title of Compliance Software Solution Provider of the Year. 

This is the third year in a row RegScale has won this award. It’s recognition of an ongoing commitment to product innovation. And a relentless focus on transforming GRC from a reactive cost center into a proactive capability for continuous assurance, resilience, and growth.    

An Industry Looking Backwards    

AI and automation are driving a not-so-quiet revolution in cybersecurity. From vulnerability management to identity and access, vendor-led innovation is empowering teams to see more, do more, and act faster to manage risk. Yet GRC has largely missed out on these technology advances.  

Manual, spreadsheet-based processes still dominate, and the focus is on backwards-looking, point-in-time attestations based on evidence that is outdated almost as soon as it’s gathered. The result is that human error creeps in, budget and talent shortages worsen, and security suffers. Our data reveals that 72% of organizations still rely on periodic assessments, and even more (88%) spend at least 500 person-hours each year manually collecting evidence. Most report that this causes moderate or major delays in meeting deadlines.  

In a world of rapidly evolving threats, a volatile IT and business environment, and a regulatory landscape that continues to mature, the traditional sprint-and-coast audit cycle is no longer fit for purpose. Controls inevitably drift between cycles, and the longer they’re left unmanaged, the greater the potential cost to the business.  

Data breaches now cost on average $4.99m. But that figure jumps to $5.65m for incidents that take over 200 days to identify and contain, according to IBM. Business leaders are taking note. They increasingly understand that control failures not only increase breach risks, but can also stall deals and erode customer trust.   

The RegScale Difference    

RegScale’s answer is a Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) approach designed to change the operating model for compliance. It’s based around an OSCAL-native, compliance-as-code architecture which makes requirements and controls machine readable. We connect these controls via APIs to evidence generated by security and IT systems across the organization. That evidence is automatically collected and matched against control implementation to flag drift. 

In this way, RegScale customers know that when controls deviate from the desired baseline, they are automatically remediated; reducing the risk of incidents and improving resilience.  Because teams know the status of their controls, vulnerabilities, assets, and risks at all times, the audit becomes a validation of that knowledge, not a major event where they discover more problems. 

Compliance is the outcome of being resilient, not the goal.  

As regulatory frameworks proliferate, RegScale also helps customers to overcome the compliance burden. Automated control mapping capabilities now cover over 250+ regulations from a single platform. That allows businesses to test once and universally comply to deliver assurance at scale. Less effort, fewer errors, and instant, dynamic updates across all frameworks whenever a control changes. 

Breaking Through    

There’s still much to be done. Our data reveals that only 28% of organizations monitor their security controls continuously in real time. To make CCM an even more compelling option, we’re also building embedded AI agents into the platform to help teams do more with less, while reducing human error. 

RegML agents are being designed to generate assessment questions and tests that measure whether controls are operating effectively. Others create Corrective Action Plans to accelerate remediation, and speed up the process of control mapping by recommending existing controls to mitigate identified risks. It’s all about streamlining CCM, while freeing up human talent to perform critical high-judgment work. 

At RegScale, we don’t get up every day to win awards. We do it to change the industry. That means transforming GRC through innovation that solves our customers’ thorniest challenges. And sharing our expertise to shape the future of cybersecurity compliance, through contributions to FedRAMP 20x, the OSCAL Foundation, and the OSCAL Hub; a platform for security authorization, compliance automation, and ATO acceleration. 

These initiatives contribute to our breakthrough vision: empowering organizations to turn governance into a continuous growth and resilience advantage. As CCM becomes a foundational component of the enterprise security stack, RegScale is setting a new standard for how modern compliance is delivered.
