Even as organizations modernize their IT infrastructure and associated security requirements, compliance reporting has lagged behind. Manual spreadsheets, scattered emails, and endless evidence-gathering sessions are unfortunately still the norm.

That shift is automapping, or an automation capability within compliance reporting platforms that translates system data, cloud configurations, and organizational artifacts directly into mapped compliance controls.
This article explores what automapping is, why it matters, how it works behind the scenes, and how it changes compliance (and security) outcomes for cloud-first organizations.
