RegScale Announces Partnership with Unified Compliance Framework

Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) and RegScale, UCF’s first CCM partner, are excited to announce a strategic partnership that merges the comprehensive regulatory library of UCF with the Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform of RegScale. This collaboration revolutionizes compliance management, and supports mutual clients in overcoming the speed, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness limitations in legacy GRC tools by improving operational security from code to cloud. With this partnership, companies leverage a more automated and streamlined approach to regulatory adherence which enables CISOs to focus on operational excellence, not paperwork.

The partnership between Unified Compliance Framework and RegScale allows our mutual clients to leverage the combined strengths of both companies to gain true automation by unleashing RegScale’s CCM pipelines across their highly complex and dynamic IT environments.   RegScale’s AI-powered engine (RegML) uses extreme automation to analyze UCF managed frameworks and provide near real-time views into the compliance posture across their entire organization. Joint clients will have access to additional benefits of this partnership, including: 

• Staying current with immediate access to UCF’s comprehensive compliance library of over 1,000 mapped authority documents, 1,000,000+ individual mandates, and more than 10,000 common controls, which is continuously updated as new requirements are released impacting joint clients and their most important compliance requirements 

• Fewer systems, better data consistency, and less risk of being out of compliance by having access to a single source of truth for compliance management, which simplifies the process of identifying, interpreting, and implementing regulatory changes as new standards and frameworks become required to maintain and grow the business.  

• Reducing the risk of non-compliance and enhanced overall governance, allowing clients to make informed decisions by easily seeing all risks across the organization and understanding how those risks impact their business and apply a cohesive, efficient risk strategy.  

• A highly adaptable model that quickly responds to dynamic regulatory changes, ensuring compliance with minimal disruption to operations by leveraging the combination of UCF and RegScale to assess the impact, determine how to adjust the control environment, and implement the necessary changes.   

• Automation to precisely determine the impact of regulatory changes that affect the market and to intelligently assign updates to policy and system owners to effectively coordinate responses and ensure organizations stay compliant.  

• Single click conversion of frameworks to Compliance as Code via NIST OSCAL enabling joint clients to generate OSCAL versions of all UCF regulations with the click of a button and generate audit-ready documentation on demand. Support for Third Party Assessing Organizations (3PAOs) services includes generation of SAP/SAR in OSCAL significantly reducing the time and resources needed to conduct audits.   

• Identifying gaps across multiple frameworks giving the most accurate view of an organization’s compliance posture, and accurately identifying the impact of the new gaps as existing frameworks are revised.   

Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder of UCF, Dorian Cougias said “We are excited to welcome RegScale to our ecosystem as the first Continuous Controls Monitoring platform. As the business changes and grows, so do the regulatory environments in which you operate. The strategic partnership between RegScale and UCF allows you to seamlessly stay ahead of new regulations and gain strategic focus for entering new markets by combining UCF’s comprehensive regulatory library and RegScale’s automated controls mapping.”   

Travis Howerton, Co-Founder and CEO of RegScale said “For large organizations, the constantly growing and changing number of regulations combined with the dynamic IT environments in a cloud-native world results in an unmanageable problem.  Everything is changing at the same time to the point where it becomes an unsolvable problem without an automated solution.  This partnership provides the industry’s first solution to the problem with the combination of UCF and RegScale improving risk and compliance outcomes, freeing CISOs to focus on operational excellence in their security programs while the paperwork updates itself automatically.”
