AI Improves Automation Efficiency with Tines: Part 3

In Part 1 of this blog series, we described how the RegScale-Tines integration enables smarter, faster, and more secure compliance operations through AI and automation. In Part 2 of this blog series, we delved into some of the technical complexities organizations face and why intelligent automation is critical to enabling better, more accurate compliance. Today, we’ll share Part 3, where we discuss how the use of AI enhances compliance with intelligent evidence collection but also eases the burden on automation to collect the evidence. 

What if the very automation meant to solve compliance could one day become compliance’s biggest problem? 

With DevOps teams under relentless pressure to deliver new features at breakneck speed, the natural response has been to automate everything — and it’s been working beautifully. Evidence collection that once consumed countless staff hours now runs seamlessly in the background, freeing teams to focus on innovation rather than paperwork. 

But automation can also come with hidden costs that compound over time. While staff overhead plummets, the burden shifts to network bandwidth, compute resources, and the very applications teams are trying to protect. What starts as a manageable overhead grows quietly as regulations expand and evidence requirements multiply.  

We won’t stop singing the praises of automation; it’s delivered incredible wins for organizations worldwide. But we will keep evolving to ensure that today’s automation victories don’t become tomorrow’s resource bottlenecks. 

That’s where RegScale + Tines step in. With smart automation powered by AI, we’re enabling smarter, faster, and more secure compliance — delivering the best of both worlds without the future costs.  

Evidence In, Over and Over Again 

Tines, the secure no-code automation platform, has extensively automated tasks, especially evidence collection, and helped transform compliance processes in large and small organizations. However, automation always comes at a cost. While the staff resources required to collect evidence are drastically reduced, there is an increased demand on network bandwidth, storage, compute costs for cloud instances, and resources of target applications.  

Those burdens might be small for an organization today, but as regulations grow, evidence requirements will grow as well, increasing the load on other systems. Before you know it, we’ll be back to where we started: compliance being a resource drain on the very resources it’s meant to support. 

Enter AI: Making Automation More Effective  

With the RegScale-Tines integration, compliance teams can leverage RegScale’s RegML AI model to strategically request evidence, evaluate the evidence that is provided, and apply that single piece of evidence to all relevant controls across all frameworks.  

Because RegScale uses AI as a part of the evidence management process to determine which evidence needs to be updated and when based on the control and policy, compliance teams no longer need to wonder if what they see is up to date, accurate, and consistent across frameworks. Instead, when evidence needs to be updated, RegScale sets a trigger for Tines to initiate the update workflow automatically.  

Then, once the compliance team has reviewed the new evidence, RegScale’s AI updates the relevant controls across frameworks and updates the freshness date on the evidence. This minimizes the number of times a control owner or application is asked to provide the same piece of evidence for different frameworks. 

The result? Risk and compliance teams can focus on thinking, not tracking down repetitive evidence.
