About ComplianceCow: Security GRC Automation for Hybrid & Cloud Environments

Automated Evidence Collection & Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM)

ComplianceCow’s CCM turns control testing into a continuous signal. Machine-collected evidence and automated checks keep control status current across cloud, on-prem, and Kubernetes.
ComplianceCow is an API-first compliance automation platform that helps Security, GRC, and DevOps teams collect and verify evidence, such as policy settings, access controls, and config baselines, across hybrid cloud, on-prem, proprietary, and Kubernetes systems.
Being API-first means ComplianceCow fits cleanly into modern DevOps pipelines and custom environments, reducing friction for engineering teams.
We integrate with tools like GRC platforms, AWS, Jira, and Slack to enforce and monitor security controls, support leading frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and enable Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) and audit assurance at scale.
Unlike traditional GRC platforms, ComplianceCow focuses on automating evidence at the control layer, not just managing tasks.
We help teams reduce audit fatigue, shorten compliance cycles, and eliminate the hidden costs of manual evidence collection.

Mission

Mission

Our mission is to help security, GRC, and engineering teams automate control evidence and verification across cloud, on-prem, proprietary systems, and Kubernetes so assurance is continuous and audits are predictable.

We serve GRC leaders, security teams, and engineering leaders who need to ship without ticket ping-pong. ComplianceCow plugs into pipelines and GRC platforms to collect machine evidence, verify custom controls, and cover systems most vendors skip. Automation removes manual chases and spreadsheet labor. It scales with AI-accelerated development and adversaries moving at AI speed. Result: reliable control signals, fewer interruptions, and workflows that fit how teams build and operate.

Vision

Vision

Our vision is a control layer that reports its own state, with evidence collected by machines and verified continuously across cloud, on-prem, and Kubernetes.

Teams see the status of controls in near real time, mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI DSS (and others), as well as internal policies. Signals move into the tools people already use, so work flows without side channels and cross-team chases. AI now raises both development throughput and risk surface, so GRC systems must match that pace.

You get measurable trust, faster audits, and confidence your estate stays within defined guardrails; GRC leaders get program visibility and automated evidence. Security teams get fewer interrupts and verified safeguards. Engineering gets pipeline-friendly checks. Auditors get complete, time-stamped artifacts.

Values

Values

Our values guide how we build and support evidence automation and CCM. These are how we work at ComplianceCow.|

Trust. We earn it by verifying outcomes, operating transparently, and keeping audit-ready artifacts.

Collaboration. We work as one team, invite different viewpoints, and share ownership end-to-end.

Fun. We keep the process sane so we can do our best work. We put TCF — Trust, Collaboration, Fun — into Security GRC at ComplianceCow and we verify with Assurance.

Leadership Team

We’re led by operators with deep experience in security, GRC, and enterprise software, focused on evidence automation and continuous controls monitoring.
