About RegScale

RegScale sells a Continuous Controls Monitoring platform that connects live cloud telemetry, security tools and CI/CD pipelines to federal and commercial compliance frameworks. RegScale says its platform gives organizations the speed to see, understand, and react in real time.

RegScale says companies spend months compiling static artifacts while configuration drift and unpatched CVEs expose production systems between audits. RegScale says it connects to live security telemetry 24/7/365 and validates controls continuously against technical reality. RegScale says automated API ingestion pulls evidence continuously, so engineering never pauses development before or during an audit. RegScale stores security packages natively in NIST OSCAL code. RegScale says that when infrastructure changes in GitOps, its System Security Plan updates itself in real time. RegScale delivers Compliance as Code directly into a CI/CD pipeline via native CLI and GitHub Actions. RegScale says regulatory violations fail pull requests before code reaches production.[1]

RegScale says one platform unites continuous monitoring, tool orchestration, and customer-facing trust. RegScale describes its core Continuous Controls Monitoring operating system as housing the multi-framework crosswalk, RegML regulatory AI, a dynamic risk ledger and a native NIST OSCAL dynamic SSP engine. RegScale says continuous monitoring runs across 250+ frameworks, supported out of the box. RegScale describes an automated integration backbone that connects 100+ enterprise cloud environments, cybersecurity scanners, identity providers, and CI/CD pipelines. RegScale runs automated scheduled pulls from CrowdStrike, Tenable, Wiz, Qualys, and more. RegScale Trust Center is a live, customer-facing security portal with automated NDA gating and self-service compliance artifacts. Every RegScale deployment contains six deterministic software engines. RegScale says its universal crosswalk automatically maps real-time telemetry across 250+ frameworks.

For federal programs, RegScale says its compliance management system automates the generation of Plans of Action and Milestones, System Security Plans, Security Assessment Plans, and Security Assessment Reports, all according to OSCAL standards, besides one-click artifact generation for FedRAMP. RegScale says its security team used its own CCM platform to achieve FedRAMP High authorization 3-4x faster than average. RegScale validates Key Security Indicators as compliance as code, running deterministic checks against live infrastructure and returning pass/fail results in real time. OSCAL Hub is an open-source platform that simplifies how Authorizing Officials review packages and how organizations submit them. RegScale says it achieved ISO 27001:2022 in under 30 days using its own platform, and that it earned CMMC Level 2 with its own platform.[1][6]

RegScale addresses third-party risk management through its Continuous Controls Monitoring platform, enabling organizations to assess, monitor, and mitigate risks associated with vendors and partners. RegScale says organizations can automate collection of vendor and partner onboarding questionnaires and use AI to score vendor submissions. RegScale consolidates risk data from all third-party vendors into a single platform. RegScale provides automated risk scoring for third parties. RegScale enables continuous monitoring of third-party risks by integrating with external data feeds and systems. RegScale offers a questionnaire system, procurement system integrations, and assessment capabilities to flow down requirements to vendors. RegScale integrates with DevSecOps workflows, security tools, and GRC systems for managing third-party risks.[1][7]

A government R&D organization implemented RegScale and streamlined issue management and workflows across tens of thousands of systems within weeks. A private equity firm chose RegScale to improve the cybersecurity posture of its portfolio companies through automation and real-time oversight of security and risk. RegScale describes its continuous controls monitoring platform as including governance, risk management, and compliance alongside threat categories, delivered with multi-tenancy. A major diversified healthcare company of retail pharmacies, health insurance, and virtual care services was struggling with fragmented compliance operations. RegScale provided a centralized platform that unified the compliance operations of that healthcare company into a single pane of glass. The healthcare company gained the ability to map common controls across SOC 1, SOC 2, SOX, and HITRUST with RegScale. The platform's compliance and risk modules were deployed in a scalable on-premises configuration for one healthcare deployment.[1][8][10]

Tovuti consolidated its SOC 2 and FedRAMP System Security Plans into a single source of truth with RegScale. A large American government services company needed to maintain and share up-to-date control sets across its three core teams. RegScale provided a centralized platform with a customizable control library, controlled security plan sharing, and a Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) integration for control mapping.[11][12]

RegScale says it was built by risk and compliance veterans who got fed up with GRC busywork that is entirely manual, after the fact, and reactive. RegScale says its AI-powered system plugs into ITIL and DevSecOps workflows. Travis Howerton is Co-Founder and CEO of RegScale.[6][11][13]
