RegScale 6.0 Supercharges Operational Efficiency for Cyber GRC

A transformational leap forward for Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) in cybersecurity, risk, and compliance 

The RegScale platform is laser-focused on transforming GRC outcomes by bridging security, risk, and compliance. Its major new release, RegScale 6.0, is furthering that mission with a streamlined interface, smarter AI, and intelligent workflows.  

The goal? To boost operational efficiency, provide a comprehensive view of risk, and help organizations make better decisions with less burden on staff. RegScale 6.0: 

• Reduces costs 
• Enhances staff efficiency with AI 
• Simplifies risk management 
• Supports continuous audit readiness

RegScale’s New User Experience

Compliance has a reputation for being an intensely manual and painful necessity of doing business. RegScale has revolutionized how security, risk, and compliance are managed. Now, our redesigned and streamlined user interface goes even further, significantly reducing the time and clicks it takes to get information. 

• Want to remove distractions to find the information you need as soon as you log in? Build your own dashboards and see what’s important to you.
• Need to see real-time compliance and risk status across organizations? Our status boards help you view issues early on, before they become expensive problems.
• Looking to know where you stand and what your risks are? Our updated compliance score cards pinpoint gaps in compliance automatically so you’re always up to date.

Not sure where to start or where to go next? Wayfinders — predefined, out-of-the-box guided paths — can lead you step by step through the most common tasks. Whether you’re defining your first Security Plan, adding a complex framework, or looking to rapidly automate your unique business processes, Wayfinders can get you secure and compliant in a fraction of the time.

AI Meets Compliance with RegML

Understanding the domain-specific language of controls can be an impediment to achieving compliance at scale. To eliminate confusion with obscure controls language, RegScale 6.0’s new RegML features work as a built-in compliance and audit expert.

Want to know what the control is really saying? RegML Explainer translates control requirements and statements into plain English, clarifying pieces that are vaguely stated or using terminology that is not familiar.

Policies are written one way, controls another — and copy-pasting from one to the other is error prone. RegML Extractor takes company policies, turns them into compliance controls, and maps the controls to their respective frameworks. The mind-numbing process of manually matching a policy to a control and hoping you are right is gone, saving you days and weeks of repetition.

Writing control statements to adequately address a new or updated compliance framework can take hours to draft and refine. RegScale’s RegML Author leverages its deep knowledge of controls across multiple frameworks to provide detailed control implementations that simply need to be reviewed and adjusted to meet your organization’s specific needs. This will save countless hours when implementing new controls across the organization. 

RegML Auditor also supports audit readiness: evaluating controls, scoring them against frameworks, identifying inconsistencies, and recommending remediations. By identifying the gaps in existing controls, RegML Auditor helps you know exactly where you stand and have the confidence to successfully pass the audit.

With the OSCAL mandate on the horizon, RegML Auditor automates OSCAL package assessments before submission to ensure it meets the OSCAL standards, making it an “open book test” for FedRAMP. This significantly reduces the chances of packages being rejected requiring more time and effort to fix and resubmit the FedRAMP package.

Largest Library of Compliance Frameworks and Authority Documents

Compliance programs require significant manual, redundant work. RegScale 6.0 maps controls across all 1000+ Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) authority documents to identify and implement a control once — and then apply that control and its corresponding evidence to all the common controls your organization has implemented.

RegScale 6.0 also offers several new ways to spot gaps, draft new control statements, and find what you’re looking for in less time than ever.

The new Control Framework Gap Report identifies gaps between frameworks to determine what controls need to be implemented and easily assess how much time and effort is required to meet evolving regulatory requirements. The result: organizations gain a competitive edge to rapidly obtain certifications and do business in new markets.

Extreme Automation with RegScale’s Automation Manager

RegScale’s API-first philosophy allows us to fit into existing technical, security, and development tool stacks. This includes 50+ native integrations with identity providers, cloud providers, vulnerability scanners, asset managers, DevSecOps tools, ticketing systems, cybersecurity tools, and more.  

Now it’s even easier to operationalize real-time compliance and security to ensure that regulations are automatically enforced throughout the development lifecycle, from code creation to deployment and beyond. Our new low-code, no-code workflow system provides out-of-the-box integrations with over 450 commercial tools, providing industry best coverage to simplify and automate your vulnerability management, configuration management, and other security workflows. 

Staying audit ready requires automation, and RegScale 6.0’s API integrations enable automation for collecting evidence and issues, reporting, and identity management. For example, Webhooks and Message Queues can open tickets, stop code promotion, send alerts, and distribute real-time event updates between security tools, ensuring information is shared everywhere it is needed.

Finally, RegScale 6.0 introduces a powerful new workflow automation engine that enables customized workflows to open tickets in ITIL systems, automatically kick off remediation workflows, stop vulnerable code promotion, send alerts, and keep documentation updated throughout. Manual intervention between systems is no longer necessary, RegScale’s extreme automation shrinks the window between discovery, response, and remediation to significantly improve security and compliance. 

Improved Questionnaire Workflows and Automations

RegScale 6.0 introduces automated questionnaire workflows that expand RegScale’s extensive questionnaire management capabilities — transforming the slow, labor-intensive process of manually gathering, matching, and scoring questionnaire results.  

Now you can build out questionnaires, assign them internally or externally, then distribute and track questionnaires, and send and receive alerts as questionnaires are answered and submitted. You no longer need to manually track and score responses in spreadsheets and set reminders for follow ups; RegScale automates it all.

Additionally, questionnaire workflows in RegScale 6.0 allow you to track and report issues of any type from anywhere, reported by anyone within the organization, for a better understanding of your risks and issues. Not only does this decrease the time from issue recognition to tracking, but it also automates notifications when issues are reported, ensuring that all interested parties can track issues through remediation and closure. This process also automatically updates audit documentation and triggers evidence collection automations, always keeping everything up to date and audit ready.

Complex Risk, Managed Simply

RegScale 6.0 now supports bring your own risk model to allow organizations to define and assess against multiple models based on complex enterprise needs. Automate your Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process end to end, track and trend changes in risk, and ensure that your controls are operating as expected by integrating with our continuous monitoring.

To further support risk management, RegScale 6.0’s Business Impact Assessment allows teams to view the impact of a risk through different risk lenses. It also provides a comprehensive risk score composed of discrete impacts across multiple areas of the business. These discrete risk impacts are then fed into risk rollup reporting and custom dashboards to give clear visibility into potential risk across the entire organization, aligning real-time risk management to organizational structure. Know the true risk impact of business decisions before they are made and enable better choices with the best data. 

Lastly, gain confidence that your controls are mitigating risks properly by using risk and control self-assessments to systematically track residual risks and proactively get ahead of changing threats. RegScale 6.0’s risk mitigation and treatment features keep all stakeholders updated through the lifecycle of the risk — while also keeping the required audit documentation updated in an automated fashion.
