Use Case
Continuous Visibility into Compliance Violations, Automatically
Tackle your compliance efforts head on with direct mapping of assets and issues tied to major compliance frameworks.
Common Compliance Challenges
IT security, IT operations and GRC teams are often challenged during audits to produce timely results with a clear evidence chain.

Modern organizations have constantly changing asset inventories and infrequent/incomplete security testing - both work against a streamlined compliance exercise.
Evidence Collection Difficulties
Manually generating the reports auditors require can be time consuming for staff - even with access to all of the relevant records.
Lack of Accountability
Multiple teams with multiple agendas makes it difficult to coordinate, track and align with audit requirements.

Frameworks
MITRE ATT&CK and NIST Cybersecurity Framework
In addition to dashboard based visibility into major compliance frameworks, CyCognito natively assists in compliance with MITRE ATT&CK and NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
MITRE ATT&CK
MITRE ATT&CK, a free and open knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques, is often used as a security reference architecture.
While the majority of the ATT&CK framework is geared to providing insight into detecting attackers in real-time during an attack, its Reconnaissance and Resource Development tactics are focused on attacker preparation. The CyCognito platform preempts attacks by addressing these two tactics.
CyCognito also offers support for the ATT&CK tactics such as Initial Access, Execution, Persistence, Privilege Elevation, Defense Evasion, Credential
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework is voluntary guidance, based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices for organizations to better manage and reduce cybersecurity risk.
The CyCognito platform helps organizations follow this standard by mapping closely to the Identify and Protect functions and contributing to Detect, Respond and Recover functions.
