RegScale earns multiple 2026 Cybersecurity Awards as demand for Continuous Controls Monitoring accelerates at RSA Conference. 25 Marzo 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Gold and Globee Gold Best of Category recognition underscore industry shift toward continuous controls monitoring TYSONS CORNER, Va.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-RegScale, the AI-powered continuous controls monitoring (CCM) platform, today announced it has been recognized with multiple 2026 cybersecurity industry awards as organizations increasingly prioritize automated, real-time GRC outcomes. The company has received a Gold Award for the Continuous Controls Monitoring category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, and earned Gold, Best of Category for Continuous Controls Monitoring in the 2026 Globee Cybersecurity Awards. The recognition comes as security and compliance leaders gather at RSA Conference 2026 amid mounting pressure to modernize outdated compliance and risk processes. Across industries, teams are grappling with rising regulatory demands, increasing audit complexity, and resource constraints that make traditional, manual approaches unsustainable. These recognitions reinforce RegScale's position at the forefront of a major shift in how organizations approach security, risk, and compliance. As regulatory pressure increases and environments become more complex, traditional, manual processes are proving too slow, costly, and error prone. Organizations are increasingly adopting continuous controls monitoring to automate evidence collection, validate controls in real time, and maintain constant audit readiness. "Compliance can no longer be treated as a periodic exercise," said Travis Howerton, Co-Founder and CEO, RegScale. "These awards reflect a broader shift in the market toward continuous, automated assurance driven by AI and compliance as code. We're fundamentally changing how organizations approach compliance by transforming it from a manual, point-in-time process into a real-time, intelligent system. RegScale enables teams to eliminate manual effort, gain continuous visibility into control performance, and turn compliance into a strategic advantage rather than a bottleneck." RegScale transforms compliance into a living, intelligent system by automating control validation, integrating with existing security and IT environments, and enabling organizations to continuously assess and improve their posture across frameworks such as FedRAMP, RMF, SOC 2, and CMMC. By reducing the burden of evidence collection and streamlining audit processes, RegScale helps organizations accelerate authorization timelines, lower costs, and improve operational resilience.

RegScale recognized in the 2026 Gartner(R) Market Guide for DevOps Continuous Compliance Automation Tools. March 19, 2026 | By Alex White RegScale has been named a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner(R) Market Guide for DevOps Continuous Compliance Automation ToolsLink opens in a new tab! In the guide by Daniel Betts, George Spafford, Chris Saunderson, and Hassan Ennaciri, published 2 March 2026, Gartner recognized RegScale as a Representative Vendor in the DevOps Compliance Automation Tools category, marking another consecutive year of recognition in this rapidly evolving market. Heads of Infrastructure & Operations (I&O) can leverage this guide to understand the critical importance of investing in a compliance platform that integrates AI and automation seamlessly into existing security, compliance, and DevOps workflows - ensuring continuous, auditable compliance coverage across the entire software delivery life cycle (SDLC). Although only Gartner subscribers can access the complete Market Guide, RegScale, Inc. has put together some of its key takeaways from the publication. From periodic to continuous: the compliance shift. As regulatory obligations expand and software delivery accelerates, traditional compliance approaches can no longer keep pace. Manual processes are slow, error-prone, and too often surface compliance issues late in the development cycle - or not until an audit - resulting in costly remediation and delivery delays. The answer is automation and AI. Gartner predicts that "By 2028, 65% of organizations will have integrated compliance automation into their DevOps workflows, reducing compliance risk and improving lead time by at least 25%" - and that "75% of all DevOps continuous compliance automation (DCCA) processes will leverage AI technology to drive efficiencies in auditing, reporting, validating and remediating regulatory compliance." Central to achieving this is where compliance checks happen in the first place. Gartner suggests, "DevOps pipelines should serve as a centralized control point for compliance enforcement, enabling continuous compliance, reduced manual effort, and real-time, auditable evidence to support regulatory requirements" which shifts compliance from a periodic burden to a continuous, automated output of the delivery process itself. The automation advantage in compliance. According to Gartner, by leveraging compliance automation tools to enforce and automate complex regulatory requirements, "heads of I&O can achieve greater consistency, repeatability, and throughput in delivery processes while minimizing compliance risks and policy breaches," and stakeholders such as GRC teams "benefit from the early identification and remediation of compliance drift, enhancing overall organizational resilience." The most impactful capabilities enabling these outcomes include, but are not limited to: * "Real-time continuous reporting and audit capabilities: Visibility end to end into audit data and compliance status across all phases of the SDLC. This comprehensive visibility eliminates the need for time-consuming refactoring to address audit findings and significantly reduces manual effort associated with generating reports and collecting audit evidence." * "AI and AI agent capabilities: The integration of AI and AI agents into workflows not only enhances the ability to detect and continuously monitor for noncompliance but also automates remediation, reducing manual workloads and error rates. These capabilities generate policy, documentation, audit reports and controls from compliance documentation, and perform audit governance checks, providing improvements, predictive compliance, automated remediation and suggestions." * "Broad integration and plug-ins: Integrate with existing security, compliance and DevOps tools to ingest control evidence, collect documentation and demonstrate a unified view of the compliance posture of all products." * "Automated remediation: In risk-assessed cases, automatic AI-assisted recommendations for and remediation of compliance issues with a full audit trail." Each of these capabilities compounds the others - real-time visibility informs smarter remediation, broad integration ensures no part of the delivery pipeline is a blind spot, and AI agents act on compliance gaps at a speed and scale no manual process can match. Gartner notes that AI capabilities in particular "will continue to expand, encompassing a broader range of activities and increasing levels of autonomy," and ultimately "this evolution will drive greater autonomy and a balanced integration between human staff executing tasks and AI systems evaluating those activities against compliance frameworks." For I&O leaders evaluating vendors, Gartner is explicit: "Evaluate the potential of AI and agents in vendors' solutions to enhance compliance automation, such as for automated policy generation, continuous monitoring or code remediation suggestions." Gartner's recommendations for I&O leaders. The 2026 Market Guide provides clear guidance for heads of I&O who want to achieve continuous compliance: * "Implement continuous compliance automation tools in close collaboration with risk, security, and compliance subject matter experts to ensure the automated enforcement of regulatory, organizational, and security policies across every phase of the DevOps life cycle." * "Balance speed and risk by implementing compliance tools into the DevOps toolchain to enforce policy, report and trace compliance violations, and provide continuous remediation and feedback." * "Evaluate the potential of AI and agents in vendors' solutions to enhance compliance automation, such as for automated policy generation, continuous monitoring or code remediation suggestions." * "Automate compliance remediation issues with full logging wherever possible to reduce manual effort and speed up the process." RegScale: built for I&O leaders. As a Gartner-recognized platform, RegScale is purpose-built around exactly the capabilities this market is converging on. At the core is OSCAL (Open Security Controls Assessment Language) - the standard that makes compliance machine-readable - which means RegScale doesn't just support continuous compliance, it's structurally designed for it. By embedding compliance directly into the DevOps lifecycle, RegScale automatically enforces policies across frameworks like NIST, FedRAMP, and CMMC - from code to operations - so regulatory and security requirements are met continuously, not just at audit time. Agentic AI capabilities go beyond basic automation by looking for compliance gaps, generating audit-ready documentation, and delivering real-time remediation recommendations, all tied to the relevant controls. The result is a platform where development teams stay audit-ready without slowing down operations. Together, OSCAL-native structure and agentic AI capabilities mean RegScale customers don't face the traditional tradeoff between speed and compliance. Compliance becomes continuous, intelligent, and embedded - not a gate at the end of the delivery cycle, but a constant, automated signal throughout it. As regulatory frameworks grow more complex and the expectations on I&O leaders intensify, RegScale's OSCAL-native, AI-powered approach is designed to turn that complexity into a competitive advantage.
