Organizations wanting to reduce compliance operations costs will find AI automation a precious partner in this journey. AI automation for compliance continues to make strategy end roads in many elements, including many spelled out in ISO27001.
Compliance automation removes several manual workflows, including documentation review against updated IS027001, which mandates updating the master compliance and security policy documentation based on an AI-powered review process. These automated steps alone help reduce the time and costs of organizations as part of the ISO 27001 requirement for continuous improvement as part of their compliance sustainability plan.
How does AI automation reduce cost for ISO 27001?
Achieving and sustaining ISO27001 is detailed, costly, and highly manual. Organizations leveraging ISO27001 to meet compliance and privacy mandates understand with the proper certification and validation of what regulated markets they can conduct business in.
Knowing this, CISOs and CIOs struggling with retaining qualified and experienced IT, compliance, and cybersecurity talent view automation as critical to reducing employee burnout and lowering their efforts toward ISO 27001 upkeep. Compliance automation converts overly repetitive and manual processes into predictable automation workflows capable of learning and auto-adjusting.
Upside in compliance automation leads to a more secure enterprise
Taking a page out of the SecOps playbook, CISOs and CIOs already gain huge benefits regarding automation and incident response, threat research, and remediation based on AI-powered extended detection and response (XDR) solutions. Similarly, automation for compliance ensures every aspect of the IS027001 framework, including risk assessments, document hygiene, and policy validation, stays current and consistently delivers updates to the audit questionnaire. It provides executive notification and reporting consistently and securely, giving the same or better functionality.
Ultimately, AI automation that executes 24 hours a day with no breaks, vacations, or internal conflicts helps keep the organization secure and compliant.
