Multi-Framework Compliance Without Building a Compliance Engine

Customer Type: Security Tool Vendor / MSP Platform Product Team

Primary Framework(s): NIST → PCI / HIPAA / ISO / SOC2 / CMMC

Workflow Type: Existing Findings → Cross-Framework Mapping → Product Insights

Customer Profile

  • Security product that already reports against one framework (often NIST)
  • Customers demand broader coverage across regulated standards
  • Wants to extend roadmap fast without hiring compliance specialists

The Challenge

  • Supporting many frameworks required deep expertise and constant updates
  • Building mapping in-house would delay roadmap 6–12 months
  • Needed to keep UI/UX unchanged and simply enrich backend outputs

How They Used CMAI

  • Routed existing finding text into CMAI behind the scenes
  • Mapped NIST-aligned findings to additional frameworks
  • Received structured control mappings + confidence metadata
  • Folded results into existing scoring and dashboards
  • Shipped multi-framework support without a platform redesign

Implementation Pattern

Existing Findings → CMAI API → Multi-Framework Control Mappings → Existing Product UI

Results Delivered

  • Accelerated Roadmap by ~6–12 months
  • Reduced Compliance R&D Cost vs in-house framework work
  • Competitive Differentiation through broader coverage

Why This Was a Fit

They needed a “send text → get controls” backend service that expands coverage without changing the customer experience.

Drop-In Compliance Annotation (Universal Pattern)

CMAI is deployed as a stateless API inside existing pipelines to automatically tag findings, policies, and questionnaires with structured control mappings—without requiring platform migration or centralized data storage.
