Insights and guides on automating compliance evidence collection
Screenshot-based access controls, workflow documentation, application testing, and UI validations can be automated across all major frameworks—covering 20-30% of evidence that traditional GRC tools cannot capture.
Automate SOC 2 CC6.1 (logical access) evidence by capturing user permission matrices, role-based login tests, access denial screenshots, and audit logs. This guide shows how to document RBAC effectiveness with automated screenshot collection, reducing manual testing from 60 minutes to 5 minutes per quarter.
Browser extensions, RPA tools, and screen recorders can automate SOC 2 screenshots. This comparison shows which tools work best for SOC 2 evidence collection: browser extensions offer the best balance of ease-of-use (no IT setup), accuracy (90%+ vs 70% for RPA), and cost for compliance teams.
Install a browser extension that records your application workflows, automatically captures screenshots at each step, and uses AI to generate evidence descriptions mapped to SOC 2 controls (CC6.1, CC6.2, etc.). This approach reduces documentation time by 93%.
Yes, screenshot automation integrates with Drata and Vanta via PDF uploads, CSV imports, or API sync. This guide shows how to connect screenshot automation tools to your GRC platform, creating complete SOC 2 automation where Drata/Vanta handles infrastructure (80%) and screenshot tools handle application evidence (20%).
Automate SOC 2 PDF evidence pack generation by configuring tools to capture screenshots, generate AI descriptions, map to controls, and format with timestamps. This guide shows how to automatically create audit-ready PDFs from test execution, eliminating manual formatting and reducing documentation time by 90%.
Automate SOC 2 evidence collection beyond what Drata can do alone. Capture screenshots, generate audit-ready documentation, and integrate with your Drata workspace.
Compliance evidence automation uses AI agents and browser extensions to automatically capture screenshots, generate documentation, and organize audit evidence—transforming 60-minute manual processes into 3-minute automated workflows.
Vanta and Drata automate 80% of SOC 2 through infrastructure APIs but cannot capture application screenshots, workflow documentation, or UI testing evidence. This article explains exactly what remains manual with Vanta and Drata—the 20% gap requiring 40–60 hours of screenshot collection per audit—and how to automate it.
AI agents can automate 80% of SOC 2 compliance testing, evidence collection, and control monitoring autonomously. This reduces manual audit preparation from 200+ hours to under 20 hours annually while improving accuracy from 85% to 99%+. This article explains how autonomous SOC 2 testing works, what controls can be automated, and how to implement AI-powered evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA audits.
