Safetybits introduces Seamless Compliance to help you comply with security standards and regulations. It continuously checks your security requirements so you can act as soon as you fall out of compliance or new risks appear, uses multi-domain correlation to provide rich context that enables guidance through mitigation actions, and reduces noise by documenting accepted risks.
Everyone we know sighs when compliance is mentioned in the conversation, as compliance has a bad reputation in the security community for being too bureaucratic.
We’ve identified some of the main issues people have.
Mainly, security requirements are written in lawyers’ language. You need some security expertise to interpret them without missing anything important, and it can be overwhelming if you are just getting started in cybersecurity.
In addition, these checks are usually run manually, and only once a month. That’s not enough to feel safe or provide value to daily operations.
But things don’t need to be this way.
Let’s see how we have solved these issues by approaching compliance from an OTSPM philosophy.
Out-of-the-box Control Mappings
Safetybits Seamless Compliance ships with support for the industry’s most common security standards, so you can immediately start implementing compliance.
Each requirement is already mapped to reusable controls for OT security, which are checked automatically.
Implementing compliance has always been a pain point for us.
It required several man-hours to check every requirement of a security standard. And most of that work had to be repeated for each new standard we had to comply to.
With Safetybits OTSPM Platform, our security controls were unified out-of-the-box and mapped to the appropriate requirement for each security regulation. This means we only have to tune each control once, and fixing one security risk is reflected in the progress across all the standards. With this, we reduced considerably our workload.
Guided Remediations and Prioritization
Safetybits summarizes all the controls that are failing, across all security standards, into the Findings view:
This way, security teams can prioritize the most critical risks and quickly decide where to start acting.
Safetybits will provide a list of offending resources:
And will also educate about the findings, providing remediation steps to solve the issue:
With this approach, our customers have found that implementing compliance with Safetybits feels as rewarding as playing a video game.
Continuous Compliance
Our clients have found that the key to this engagement is the quick feedback loop.
As our controls are fully automated, Safetybits can run them several times a day instead of once a month. In addition, some actions, like enabling detection rules, trigger re-evaluation of the compliance controls.
As a result, you’ll always have an accurate view of your security posture and see the immediate effect of your actions. This makes Safetybits Seamless Compliance an ally in daily security operations.
Compliance hasn’t been fully useful for us but rather a chore, by the time we realized something was out of compliance we had been at risk for too long.
Adopting Safetybits OTSPM Platform has completely changed the game. Our security posture is always up-to-date so our security team can act as soon as something falls out of compliance.
Compliance is now a core practice in our security strategy, we feel more confident overall, and security audits are a bit less scary.

Best Practices Advisor
The MITRE ATT&CK and CIS benchmarks can be used to harden your OT infrastructure. They will help you implement security best practices and motivate you to secure your infrastructure proactively.
Document Manual Evidences
Some security requirements ask you to document procedures or perform a manual check. In those cases, you can provide evidence of meeting the requirement, including links to other compliance documents.
Accept Risks
Safetybits allows you to accept some risks and log the reasoning behind the decision, reducing the noise. This is especially useful for vulnerable devices that you cannot upgrade but are secured in other ways.
Conclusion
Safetybits Seamless Compliance is a fresh approach to risk management and cybersecurity regulations that turns a chore into an ally in daily operations. It continuously checks your security requirements and guides you through mitigation actions.
