The Future of Compliance Automation

Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video conversation between Bright Defense’s Co-Founder, Tim Mektrakarn, and Drata’s Head of Product Marketing, Topher Stephenson.

Tim: “What does the future of compliance automation look like?

Topher: “We’re just at the beginning of the journey. If we’re running a marathon, we just passed mile marker one. The future of compliance automation is going to be ubiquitous. I think we are going to see mass adoption of compliance automation, even more than we have already seen, because the old way of doing compliance just doesn’t work. Manual compliance doesn’t work. It slows you down. That point-in-time compliance is just not the best-in-class way to managed a compliance program.

In the future, it is going to be ubiquitous. I foresee more companies adopting compliance automation. And, adopting the mindset that Drata has which is how can we shift compliance further left in your organization so you’re not introducing risk into your production environments. It’s really only us that does that, and I think it’s the future because we are thinking about automating the process from the beginning.”
