Use automation confidently and stay audit-ready every day, not just once a year.

Staying compliant today isn’t just about passing a once-a-year audit. With increasing regulatory demands from frameworks like NIS2, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, compliance now requires constant attention to cybersecurity and risk management across your entire organisation. That’s where continuous compliance automation comes in.

But what is continuous compliance?

It’s the shift from reactive, stressful audit seasons to an always-on approach, powered by intelligent automation tools (including AI), that helps you meet regulatory obligations consistently and efficiently. 

In this free webinar, our expert panel explores how continuous compliance automation is transforming compliance workflows today and what pitfalls to watch out for when introducing AI into the mix.

What you’ll learn:

  • A detailed understanding of what continuous compliance is and why traditional, periodic audits no longer cut it
  • How to shift from reactive audits to ongoing, integrated compliance across frameworks like NIS2, SOC 2, and ISO 27001
  • How to use AI to automate control monitoring, identify gaps in real time, and reduce manual workload
  • Why full automation isn’t always the answer: learn how to balance efficiency with human oversight and regulatory transparency
  • What to look for in continuous compliance tools that support both scale and accountability
  • How to explain AI-driven compliance to auditors and maintain trust, even with ‘black box’ technologies
  • Insights from CISOs leading real-world continuous compliance programmes, including navigating NIS2 requirements

Speakers:

  • Izabella Stueflotten – VP of Revenue, Elasticito
  • Brett Hardman – CISO, CabOnline Group
  • Daniel Schlegel – CISO, Berlitz Languages
  • Wesley van Zyl – Auditor & Tech Expert, Scytale

Whether you’re starting your compliance journey or scaling an existing programme, this session will show you how to build continuous compliance that supports your business every day, not just audit day.

FAQs

In essence, continuous compliance under NIS 2 and DORA is about building and maintaining a living security and resilience posture that can adapt and respond effectively over time.

Point-in-time compliance, often associated with standards like SOC 2 (System and Organisation Controls 2) and ISO 27001, focuses on the status of an organisation’s security controls at a specific moment or over a defined period for an audit.

AI acts as a powerful enabler for continuous compliance by providing the capabilities for automation, real-time analysis, scalability, proactive identification, and adaptive response. 

By leveraging these capabilities, organisations can move beyond point-in-time assessments and establish a truly continuous state of compliance with the evolving requirements of NIS 2 and DORA.

AI plays a pivotal role in enhancing Intelligent Automation (IA), which goes beyond basic Robotic Process Automation (RPA) by incorporating cognitive abilities to handle more complex tasks, learn, and make decisions.

By integrating AI into their automation strategies, organisations can build more robust and adaptive continuous compliance frameworks that align with the demands of regulations like NIS 2 and DORA and also enhance the effectiveness of their security and governance practices under standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Yes, there are significant cost benefits associated with using AI and Intelligent Automation (IA) for Continuous Compliance, particularly in the context of regulations like NIS 2 and DORA, and also for improving efficiency in adhering to standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Several EU regulatory frameworks are applicable to the use of AI for Continuous Compliance and Intelligent Automation. The most prominent ones are:

  • The EU AI Act: The most direct regulation, imposing various obligations depending on the risk level of the AI application.
  • The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Crucial when personal data is processed.
  • NIS 2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2): Applies if AI is used for cybersecurity within essential and important sectors. 
  • DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act): Has specific requirements for the financial sector’s operational resilience, including the use of AI.
