Making GRC/Compliance Platforms Actually Automated

‍

Customer Type: Enterprise Insurer / Financial Services Company

Primary Framework(s): SOC 2 + ISO + PCI DSS + SOX

Workflow Type: Findings + Policies → Control Mapping → GRC Platform Import

‍

Customer Profile

• Global Fintech operating across multiple regulated markets
• Compliance team managing many frameworks simultaneously
• Uses a leading GRC platform for audit workflows and reporting
• High volume of security findings from scanners, cloud tools, and endpoint tooling

‍

The Challenge

• Findings had to be manually entered into the GRC platform
• Each finding required manual control tagging by a compliance analyst
• No automated interpretation of finding context (“password issue” still required a human)
• Manual cross-framework mapping multiplied effort dramatically
• Policy documents required slow, manual review to determine control coverage
• Questionnaire responses still required manual “can we answer yes?” evaluation

‍

How They Used CMAI

• Sent scanner findings (EDR, vulnerability tools, cloud security tools) to CMAI
• CMAI automatically mapped each finding to the relevant controls
• Returned structured control tags ready for bulk import into the GRC platform
• Used CMAI to map internal controls once → then expand across multiple frameworks
• Submitted policy documents to CMAI for automated policy-to-control coverage analysis
• Uploaded questionnaires to map requirements to existing controls and evidence

‍

Implementation Pattern

Security Tools + Policies + Questionnaires → CMAI API → Control Mappings → Bulk Import into GRC Platform

‍

Results Delivered

• ‍60–70% reduction in manual evidence and finding categorization workload‍
• Weeks → hours for cross-framework mapping and policy coverage analysis‍
• Higher ROI on GRC platform investment by removing the “manual tagging bottleneck”

‍

Why This Was a Fit

Their GRC platform was great at packaging evidence and managing audit workflows—but it couldn’t interpret evidence. CMAI became the missing intelligence layer that made the platform operational at scale.

CMAI + Your GRC Platform = The Complete System

GRC platforms manage workflows, dashboards, and auditor collaboration. CMAI interprets evidence, maps findings to controls, and automates cross-framework mapping—so evidence arrives already structured.
