Panaseer launches tool to automate enterprise compliance tasks

Today

Panaseer has announced the launch of its Cyber Frameworks Catalog, designed to automate compliance management for enterprises operating within regulated industries.

The Cyber Frameworks Catalog aims to assist enterprises in mapping, monitoring, and reporting the performance of security controls against significant cybersecurity frameworks and regulations. According to Panaseer, the tool provides pre-built dashboards and automated controls that facilitate the continuous measurement of compliance with standards such as DORA, NIST CSF v2.0, CIS Controls v8, PCI DSS v4.0, and CRI Profile v2.

Research conducted by Panaseer indicates that cybersecurity teams currently spend close to 60% of their time on manual reporting. This situation can lead to inefficiencies, increased operational costs, and an elevated risk of audit failures even when organisations believe that they are operating within compliance requirements.

To address these challenges, teams often implement tactical responses such as isolating systems or creating dedicated environments - a strategy that frequently results in fragmented and unsustainable security operations.

The Cyber Frameworks Catalog claims to streamline these processes by introducing a controls measurement-driven, automation-first methodology. Features such as pre-built dashboards, automated mapping of controls to frameworks, and continuous compliance scoring present security and operational teams with an opportunity to simplify their reporting obligations and regularly demonstrate compliance.

Among the Catalog's features are more than ten out-of-the-box dashboards, each mapped to over 200 control metrics connected to various regulatory frameworks. The automated cross-mapping functionality highlights where a single security control satisfies the requirements of multiple frameworks, a feature intended to benefit sectors such as finance and retail where regulatory overlap is common.

Users are able to identify failing metrics through interactive dashboards, real-time alerts, and configurable thresholds. The Catalog's analytical capabilities allow teams to investigate the underlying causes of compliance failures, prioritise remediation actions, and potentially prevent regulatory breaches.

Historical tracking is integrated into the Catalog, enabling teams to observe compliance trends over time, benchmark the effectiveness of their programmes, and generate defensible evidence for audits and governance reporting. The reporting capacities of the tool allow organisations to develop tailored, multi-framework scorecards reflecting both their compliance and risk management postures, accommodating the diverse needs of stakeholders across business units and regulatory regimes.

Marc Moesse, Chief Product Officer at Panaseer, commented on the purpose behind the Cyber Frameworks Catalog: "Security teams shouldn't have to choose between being compliant and being secure—they need to be both. The Cyber Frameworks Catalog builds on years of working with regulated industries to address real compliance pain points. By productizing control-to-framework mapping into our data-driven platform, we're giving security leaders the automation and clarity they need. With faster prep and reliable data, they can reduce findings and confidently answer to the board, regulators, and auditors, or give them direct access."

Panaseer states that, as regulatory pressures and risks relating to compliance failures continue to mount, the Cyber Frameworks Catalog provides organisations with a systematic approach to managing regulatory requirements while maintaining operational resilience.

The Catalog's integration with Panaseer's Continuous Controls Monitoring platform allows it to aggregate and validate security data from a range of enterprise technology stacks, including platforms managing assets, identities, accounts, and applications. This encompasses more than ten primary cybersecurity domains, offering a centralised view for security teams that includes drill-down capabilities into the specific metrics underlying controls.

The company highlights the value of this approach in enabling organisations to generate validated data suited for scrutiny by auditors, regulators, and internal stakeholders.

Panaseer describes its role as supporting organisations to continuously measure the deployment and effectiveness of their security controls, with its CCM platform providing Chief Information Security Officers with insights into their cyber defence performance relative to global frameworks and regulations. The firm asserts that these data-driven processes promote efficient resource allocation and improved prioritisation of security actions.
