For decades, compliance has meant preparing for an audit, gathering evidence, reviewing documentation, and waiting for the auditor’s assessment. It’s a cycle that drains resources, disrupts operations, and often delivers results that are already outdated the moment they’re published. That’s where continuous assurance comes in.
Rather than treating compliance as a point-in-time exercise, continuous assurance integrates automation, monitoring, and analytics to provide ongoing, real-time evidence that controls are in place and effective.
It’s a shift with wide-ranging implications for how organizations manage risk, prepare for audits, and build trust with regulators and customers.
