Understanding How Complyan Works
Complyan is a cybersecurity GRC platform designed to automate compliance, risk management, and audit processes across multiple frameworks. This section outlines the core components and workflow of Complyan, explaining how each feature contributes to building a seamless compliance program.
How Complyan Works: Step-by-Step
1. Select a Compliance Framework
Complyan supports 30+ frameworks, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, GDPR, and more.
The Cross-Mapping feature links overlapping controls from different frameworks to reduce redundancy.
Users can select multiple frameworks to monitor compliance in a unified view.
2. Set Up Controls Using the Compliance Wizard
The Compliance Wizard guides users through the setup process by adding:
Implementation details for each control.
Control custodians and their responsibilities.
Maturity levels for tracking progress.
Automated test cases help validate controls and ensure compliance throughout the lifecycle.
3. Automated Evidence Collection and Integrations
Complyan integrates with Azure, Office 365, Okta, and other platforms to automate evidence collection.
This ensures real-time tracking of compliance status by continuously syncing data from external services.
Automated test cases verify control status with minimal manual intervention.
4. Vendor Risk Assessment and Management
Complyan simplifies third-party risk management with automated vendor assessments.
Vendors receive customized questionnaires to ensure they meet security requirements.
Vendor risks are tracked in a dedicated vendor risk register with real-time scores and insights.
5. Risk Management Automation
Users maintain a risk register to log and manage risks with key metadata such as impact, likelihood, and treatment status.
4x4 and 5x5 risk matrices visualize the severity and probability of risks.
Complyan offers risk mitigation options: Accept, Transfer, Treat, or Terminate, with timelines for each.
6. Manage Audits with the Audit Hub
The Audit Hub provides a centralized space for managing both internal and external audits.
