Compliance team spending four to six weeks before every audit manually pulling evidence from AWS, your identity provider, your ticketing system, and your HR platform -- evidence that could have been collected automatically throughout the year?
Controls passing the audit point-in-time check but drifting out of compliance between audits because there is no continuous monitoring -- and the next audit finding is a surprise?
Security Compliance Software
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits are evidence collection exercises. Most organisations collect that evidence manually: exporting access logs, taking screenshots of configuration settings, chasing employees for policy acknowledgments, and assembling everything into an auditor-ready package in the weeks before the audit. It takes weeks because nothing was captured continuously.
We build custom security compliance platforms: automated evidence collection from your cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools, continuous control monitoring that alerts when controls drift, policy management with employee acknowledgment tracking, and an audit evidence library that means compliance prep takes hours instead of weeks. Built for your specific framework and control environment, not a generic platform.
Automated evidence collection from cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools throughout the year
Continuous control monitoring with alerts when controls drift from their required state
Policy management and employee acknowledgment tracking with completion reporting
Audit evidence library organised by control for SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and custom frameworks
RaftLabs builds custom security compliance software for SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and custom control frameworks. We build platforms that automate evidence collection from your cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools, monitor controls continuously rather than point-in-time, manage policy distribution and employee acknowledgments, and maintain the audit evidence library that reduces compliance prep from weeks to hours. For organisations with complex environments, proprietary data sources, or compliance tooling that needs to be embedded into an existing platform, custom compliance software is more effective than a generic GRC tool. Most security compliance software projects deliver in 10-16 weeks at a fixed cost.

Compliance evidence should be collected throughout the year, not assembled before the audit
The most expensive compliance programme is one where all the work happens in the six weeks before the audit. Evidence gets pulled manually from systems that weren't designed to export it in the required format. Controls that should have been monitored continuously are checked once and found to have been drifting. Policies were distributed but acknowledgment wasn't tracked. The audit becomes a scramble because the programme didn't produce the evidence as a byproduct of normal operations.
Custom compliance software changes the economics. Evidence collection automated from the systems that generate it -- cloud infrastructure logs, access control configurations, vulnerability scan results, training completion records. Controls monitored continuously with alerts when they drift. Policy acknowledgments tracked in the system. Auditors access a structured evidence library rather than waiting for your team to compile it. The compliance programme produces evidence as a side effect of operations, not as a pre-audit project.
What we build
Automated evidence collection from cloud and SaaS
API integrations with your cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools to pull compliance evidence automatically on a defined schedule. AWS Config, CloudTrail, and IAM for cloud configuration and access logs. Azure Policy and Activity Logs for Azure environments. Okta and Azure AD for access control and authentication configuration evidence. Jira and GitHub for change management and code review evidence. Workday or BambooHR for security training completion. Evidence captured in the format your framework requires, tagged to the specific controls it satisfies, and stored in the evidence library without manual export. The evidence that exists in your systems now, collected automatically rather than on request.
Continuous control monitoring and alerting
Control checks that run continuously rather than point-in-time, comparing your actual configuration against the required state defined in your control framework. MFA enforcement checked against your identity provider configuration daily. Encryption settings verified against your cloud storage and database configuration. Vulnerability scan frequency confirmed against policy requirements. Access review completion tracked against your defined review schedule. Alerts sent to your compliance team when a control check fails -- before the auditor finds it. Control health dashboard showing pass, fail, and exception status across your full control catalogue. The continuous assurance that replaces the assumption that controls are working.
Policy management and employee acknowledgment
Policy library with version control: current policy version, previous versions, change history, and effective dates. Policy distribution workflow: new policies and annual re-acknowledgments distributed to employees via email or integrated into your intranet or HR platform. Acknowledgment tracking by employee with completion timestamps and policy version acknowledged. Automated reminders for employees who have not completed required acknowledgments. Completion reports for your compliance team showing acknowledgment rates by department and policy. Evidence export in the format auditors require: employee name, policy acknowledged, date, and version. The policy programme that produces audit evidence as a natural output rather than requiring manual assembly.
Control risk register and assessment
Risk register for your control framework: each control with its objective, implementation status, testing status, and associated risks. Risk assessment workflow for evaluating inherent and residual risk for each control area. Control gaps tracked from identification through remediation with owner assignment and target completion dates. Risk treatment decisions documented: accept, mitigate, transfer, or avoid -- with the business rationale recorded. Risk review scheduling and completion tracking. Vendor risk assessments for third parties with access to your environment or data. The risk documentation that demonstrates your compliance programme involves actual risk assessment, not just evidence collection.
Audit evidence library and portal
Structured evidence library organised by control: every piece of collected evidence tagged to the specific control it satisfies. Evidence metadata: collection date, source system, collection method, and the employee responsible for each control area. Auditor portal with controlled access to the evidence library -- auditors see what they need without requiring your team to respond to each evidence request individually. Evidence requests tracked: auditor submits a request, your team reviews and approves access to the relevant evidence package. Gap reports showing controls with insufficient evidence coverage before the audit window opens. The library that turns audit evidence requests from multi-week collection exercises into a same-day access provision.
Multi-framework compliance mapping
Control mapping across multiple frameworks: SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A controls, NIST CSF subcategories, CIS Controls, and custom internal control frameworks. Cross-framework mapping that identifies where a single control or piece of evidence satisfies requirements in multiple frameworks simultaneously -- so a single MFA configuration check satisfies your SOC 2 CC6.1 requirement and your ISO 27001 A.9.4 requirement from the same evidence. Framework gap analysis that shows which controls from a new framework you are already satisfying versus which require additional implementation. The mapping layer that makes multi-framework compliance manageable rather than multiplicative in effort.
Frequently asked questions
We build compliance automation for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls v8, NIST 800-53, HIPAA Security Rule, and custom internal control frameworks. The degree of automation achievable depends on where your evidence lives: controls that can be verified by querying a system API (cloud configuration, access logs, patch status) are fully automatable. Controls that require human judgement or physical verification (physical security, workforce training quality) produce automated reminders and tracking, with evidence manually attached. We map your specific control framework during scoping to identify which controls are automatable and which require workflow support, and design the platform accordingly.
Off-the-shelf compliance platforms work well for organisations whose control environment maps cleanly to standard SaaS integrations. They are limited when your environment includes proprietary data sources the platform doesn't integrate with, internal systems without standard APIs, custom control frameworks that don't map to the platform's control library, or a requirement to embed compliance tooling into an existing internal platform rather than adopt a new standalone tool. Custom compliance software makes sense when your environment is too complex or specific for a generic platform, when you need compliance tooling that reflects your actual control framework rather than a vendor's interpretation of the standard, or when you are building compliance capability into a product you sell to customers.
Audit findings typically come from two sources: controls that were never fully implemented and controls that were implemented but drifted. Continuous monitoring catches the second category. A control that passes the point-in-time audit check but drifts out of compliance before the next audit will be found by the auditor next cycle. Continuous monitoring finds it immediately when it drifts -- when MFA is disabled for an account, when a security group rule is misconfigured, when a vulnerability scan hasn't run on schedule -- and alerts your compliance team before the auditor does. The cost of correcting a control between audits is far lower than the cost of explaining a finding during one.
A focused compliance tool -- automated evidence collection for a single framework with a control monitoring dashboard -- typically runs $25,000 to $70,000. A full compliance platform spanning multiple frameworks, continuous monitoring, policy management, risk register, and an auditor evidence portal runs $70,000 to $150,000 depending on the number of integrations, frameworks, and the complexity of your control environment.
