Prioritize Remediation by Compliance Impact, Not Just Severity

‍

Customer Type: Internal Security Team at a Tech Company

Primary Framework(s): SOC 2 / ISO / PCI / CMMC / NIST

Workflow Type: Findings → Control Tags → Ticketing + Dashboards

‍

Customer Profile

• Security team managing high volumes of findings from multiple tools
• Compliance and Security teams need a shared view of impact
• Uses ticketing/SIEM workflows but lacks compliance context

‍

The Challenge

• Thousands of findings arrived without compliance interpretation
• Manual correlation to SOC 2/ISO/PCI controls was too slow
• Hard to answer “what impacts our audit?” in real time
• Teams prioritized by severity, missing compliance-driven urgency

‍

How They Used CMAI

• Ingested findings from scanners, EDR, CSPM, code tools
• Automatically tagged each finding with framework control mappings
• Inserted compliance tags into tickets and SIEM events
• Prioritized remediation by “multi-framework impact”
• Produced compliance-aware dashboards for Security + Compliance alignment

‍

Implementation Pattern

Security Findings → CMAI API → Control Tags → Ticketing/SIEM + Framework Dashboards

‍

Results Delivered

• ‍Eliminated Manual Correlation between findings and controls‍
• Better Remediation Prioritization through compliance impact context‍
• Continuous Visibility into audit posture from live security data

‍

Why This Was a Fit

They didn’t need new tools—they needed a common control interpretation layer across existing workflows.

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.
