How much of your compliance team's time goes into collecting evidence your systems already have?
Are you discovering control failures during audit preparation rather than when they occur?
Your compliance team spends 30% of their time collecting evidence that your systems already have.
HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 all require the same thing: demonstrate that your controls work, continuously, with documented proof. Most companies do this manually: someone collects screenshots, exports logs, fills out questionnaires, and compiles audit reports by hand every quarter. The evidence exists in your systems. The work is fetching it, formatting it, and delivering it on a schedule.
We build compliance automation that does the evidence collection, control monitoring, and report generation automatically. Your compliance team reviews the output and handles the decisions that require judgment. The manual assembly work disappears.
Automated evidence collection from your systems, eliminating the manual screenshot and log export cycle
Continuous control monitoring that flags failures in real time instead of discovering them during audit prep
Policy management with version control and employee acknowledgment tracking
Audit report generation on demand rather than two weeks of manual report assembly before every audit
RaftLabs builds compliance automation systems for regulated industries including automated evidence collection from cloud infrastructure, SaaS tools, and internal systems, continuous control monitoring with real-time alerting on failures, policy management portals with version control and employee acknowledgment tracking, risk assessment workflow automation, automated audit report generation, and compliance dashboard visibility for CTO and compliance teams. We support HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and industry-specific regulatory frameworks. Engagements are scoped at a fixed price after a discovery phase that assesses your current compliance program, control framework, and evidence collection processes.
Compliance is an ongoing operational burden, not a one-time project
A SOC 2 Type II audit covers a 12-month observation period. Every control must be operating continuously, with documented evidence, for the full period. Every employee must acknowledge every policy update. Every access review must happen on schedule. Every vendor must have a completed assessment on file.
Most companies manage this with spreadsheets, calendar reminders, and a compliance team that spends two weeks before every audit scrambling to collect evidence and fill gaps. The evidence exists in the systems. The problem is the collection is manual.
Automation does not replace the judgment that compliance requires. It removes the manual assembly work that currently occupies the people who should be exercising that judgment.
What we build
Automated evidence collection
Automated pipelines that pull control evidence from your infrastructure and SaaS tools on a defined schedule. AWS CloudTrail and Config, Azure Activity Logs and Policy, Google Cloud Audit Logs, Okta and Azure AD access records, GitHub and GitLab deployment logs, and third-party tool APIs. Evidence stored with control mapping, collection timestamp, and source metadata. Gap detection that surfaces missing evidence and failed evidence collection jobs. Audit evidence libraries that arrive pre-populated for auditors rather than assembled under deadline pressure.
Continuous control monitoring
Real-time monitoring of your control environment with alerting when controls fail. IAM policy monitoring: MFA enforcement, privilege escalation, stale access. Infrastructure configuration monitoring: public exposure checks, encryption state, backup job completion. Access review automation: alerts when scheduled access reviews are overdue, automated access summary reports for reviewers. Vendor access monitoring: alerts when third-party access exceeds approved scope or approved time window. Control failures caught when they happen, not during audit preparation.
Policy management portal
A centralised policy library with version control, approval workflows, and employee acknowledgment tracking. Policies are stored in a searchable portal with their current version, effective date, and approval history. When a policy is updated, affected employees receive an acknowledgment request automatically. Acknowledgment completion tracked per employee and per policy with documented timestamps. Reports for auditors showing current acknowledgment status across your entire policy library. Eliminates the email chains and spreadsheet tracking that policy management currently requires.
Risk assessment workflows
Structured risk assessment workflows for new vendors, new systems, and periodic risk reviews. Vendor questionnaires distributed and tracked automatically. Risk scoring models that calculate inherent and residual risk from structured responses. Risk register maintained automatically from completed assessments with ongoing monitoring of high-risk vendors and systems. Periodic review reminders triggered on schedule. Audit evidence showing that risk assessments are conducted systematically and on time, not reactively when auditors ask.
Audit report generation
Automated generation of audit evidence packages from the evidence library. For SOC 2: control matrices populated with evidence references and testing notes. For HIPAA: security rule documentation with implementation evidence. For PCI DSS: requirement-by-requirement compliance status reports. Reports generated in auditor-ready format with control evidence linked to requirements. Custom report formats for internal compliance reviews, board reporting, and customer security questionnaire responses. Report generation that takes minutes from the evidence library rather than two weeks of manual assembly.
Compliance dashboard
A real-time compliance posture dashboard for your CTO, CISO, and compliance team. Current control status across your entire framework: passing, failing, and not yet assessed. Evidence collection completeness for the current audit period. Policy acknowledgment completion rates by team. Upcoming review deadlines and overdue items. Risk register summary with high-risk items highlighted. The operational visibility into your compliance program that currently requires compiling status from multiple spreadsheets.

Frequently asked questions
The evidence collection and monitoring patterns we use apply across most major frameworks: SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and CCPA. The specific controls differ but the underlying automation -- pulling access logs, monitoring configuration state, tracking policy acknowledgments, generating control evidence -- is the same pattern applied to different control families. We have the most production depth in SOC 2 Type II (common for SaaS companies) and HIPAA (healthcare and health tech clients). For frameworks with custom control sets, we scope the automation against your specific control requirements during discovery rather than assuming a generic framework map applies.
Evidence collection automation pulls proof of control operation from the systems your controls depend on. For access control evidence: user access logs from your identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace), system access logs from your cloud provider, and privilege escalation logs. For configuration management evidence: infrastructure-as-code state, cloud configuration snapshots using AWS Config or Azure Policy, and security baseline compliance checks. For change management evidence: deployment logs, pull request approvals, and code review records from your source control system. For vendor management evidence: vendor access records and contract metadata. The automation runs on a defined schedule, stores the evidence with metadata (what was collected, when, from which source, for which control), and surfaces gaps where evidence is missing or a control has failed. Your compliance team reviews the populated evidence library rather than assembling it.
Continuous control monitoring watches your control environment in real time and fires alerts when a control fails. Examples: an IAM policy that should have MFA enabled is changed to allow password-only login. A production database that should not be publicly accessible has a security group rule added that exposes it to the internet. A user who was offboarded two weeks ago still has active access to a system they should not. A backup job that runs nightly did not complete last night. Without continuous monitoring, these failures are discovered during audit preparation -- weeks or months after they occur. With monitoring, they are caught when they happen and can be remediated before they become findings. Continuous monitoring also produces the monitoring evidence that auditors require, demonstrating that controls are checked on an ongoing basis and not just at audit time.
Neither. Compliance automation tools like Vanta, Drata, and Tugboat Logic are excellent products for standard control frameworks and are the right choice for many organisations. We build custom compliance automation for organisations whose compliance requirements do not fit the standard platform templates: heavily regulated industries with custom control sets, organisations with complex legacy infrastructure the platforms cannot integrate with, or companies that need compliance workflows embedded in their existing internal tools rather than managed through a separate SaaS platform. We also build compliance automation components that sit alongside existing platforms: custom evidence collection for systems the platform does not support, custom risk assessment workflows, and compliance reporting that aggregates across multiple frameworks. If your situation fits a standard platform, we will tell you. We do not build custom systems to replace tools that would serve you better.
