Compliance Automation
Automate 80% of your compliance work with Axura's intelligent automation engine. From evidence collection to control mapping, let AI handle the repetitive tasks.
How Automation Works
Axura's compliance automation engine continuously works in the background to:
Collect Evidence Automatically
Scans your integrations and captures compliance evidence without manual intervention. Screenshots, configurations, and audit logs are collected 24/7.
Map to Controls
AI automatically maps collected evidence to relevant compliance framework controls. One piece of evidence can satisfy multiple frameworks simultaneously.
Detect Gaps
Identifies missing evidence and controls that need attention, prioritized by impact on your compliance score.
Track Changes
Monitors configuration drift and alerts you when changes affect compliance status.
Automated Evidence Collection
For each connected integration, Axura automatically collects specific evidence types:
| Integration | Evidence Types | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| AWS | IAM policies, S3 configs, encryption settings, CloudTrail logs | Daily |
| GitHub | Branch protection, secret scanning, access logs, 2FA status | Daily |
| Okta | User lists, MFA status, SSO configs, access policies | Daily |
| GCP | IAM bindings, bucket policies, logging configs, VPC rules | Daily |
Control Mapping Engine
Our AI-powered control mapping engine understands the relationships between evidence and compliance requirements:
Evidence Collected:
- S3 bucket "customer-data" has SSE-S3 encryption enabled
- Encryption at rest: AES-256
- Bucket policy enforces encryption
Automatically Mapped To:
├── SOC 2 CC6.1 (Logical and Physical Access Controls)
├── SOC 2 CC6.7 (Encryption)
├── ISO 27001 A.10.1.1 (Policy on Cryptographic Controls)
├── HIPAA §164.312(a)(2)(iv) (Encryption)
└── PCI-DSS 3.4 (Render PAN Unreadable)✅ Cross-Framework Efficiency
One piece of evidence can satisfy multiple framework controls. This means you prepare for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 simultaneously without duplicating work.
Automation Rules
Create custom automation rules to handle organization-specific compliance requirements:
Evidence Triggers
Automatically collect evidence when specific events occur (e.g., new employee onboarded, policy updated).
Control Assignments
Auto-assign control ownership based on department, role, or integration type.
Remediation Workflows
Trigger automated remediation scripts when findings are detected.
Notification Rules
Send alerts to specific channels based on finding severity or control status.
Compliance Workflows
Axura supports automated workflows for common compliance processes:
Example: Access Review Workflow
1. TRIGGER: 90 days since last access review ↓ 2. ACTION: Generate user access report from Okta/Azure AD ↓ 3. ACTION: Create review task assigned to department manager ↓ 4. WAIT: Manager approves/revokes access ↓ 5. ACTION: Collect evidence of review completion ↓ 6. ACTION: Update compliance control status ↓ 7. NOTIFY: Send completion report to compliance team
Scheduling Options
Configure when automation runs to balance thoroughness with resource usage:
- Continuous - Real-time monitoring with instant updates
- Daily - Full scan once per day (default)
- Weekly - Comprehensive scan with detailed reporting
- On-Demand - Manual trigger for immediate results
- Custom - Cron-based scheduling for specific times
# Every weekday at 9 AM
