Overview

Compliance as Code translates complex regulatory requirements (like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or GDPR) into automated tests and configurations. This allows organizations to maintain a 'continuous compliance' state rather than preparing for periodic audits.

Key Concepts

  • Automated Auditing: Continuously scanning infrastructure for compliance violations.
  • Self-Healing: Automatically fixing non-compliant resources.
  • Audit-Ready Reports: Generating documentation directly from the code and scan results.

Benefits

  • Reduced Risk: Identify and fix compliance gaps in real-time.
  • Lower Costs: Automate the time-consuming manual audit process.
  • Increased Trust: Provide verifiable proof of compliance to stakeholders.
