Compliance & Governance

We help compliance officers, CISOs, GRC teams, and regulated enterprises modernize policy management, audit automation, and risk operations — with AI-powered, regulator-ready software built for the realities of multi-jurisdiction governance.

TRUSTED. CERTIFIED. PROVEN.

What you get

Engineering built for regulated enterprises

Six advantages that come standard with every ZAPTA compliance and governance engagement — combining deep regulatory domain expertise with modern AI engineering.

Compliance-native engineers

Our teams have shipped systems for banks, insurers, healthcare, energy, and government. They speak NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, DORA, MiFID II, and SOX — not generic workflow tools repurposed for compliance.

Built around the property journey

Risk owners, compliance teams, internal audit, and the board each see the system through different eyes. Every architectural decision starts with how each line of defense actually works — not just where data lives.

Evidence produced as a continuous output

Audit trails, evidence capture, and control attestations generated by the system — not assembled by hand at quarter-end. Regulators and external auditors get machine-readable artifacts on demand.

From spreadsheet chaos to platform in weeks

Cloud-native foundations, configurable control libraries, and AI-assisted engineering ship pilots in 8–14 weeks. Compare that to typical GRC implementations stretching 12–24 months for the same scope.

One truth across risk, policy, and controls

ServiceNow GRC, MetricStream, Archer, OneTrust, and custom systems integrated into a unified data model. We don't add another silo — we wire your existing stack into a coherent whole.

100% IP stays with you

ource code, ML models, control libraries, and documentation transfer fully on day one. No vendor lock-in, no per-control surcharges, no renegotiation when you scale into new frameworks or jurisdictions.

Our services

Compliance & governance software services

Nine core service lines — each delivered as standalone engagements or as part of a full GRC platform build.

Discovery & GRC strategy

Regulatory mapping, control framework design, target operating model, and reference architecture. Output: fixed-scope proposal in 48 hours.

Explore service

Policy & control platforms

Custom policy management, control libraries, attestation workflows, and exception handling. Built on cloud-native foundations and tied directly to evidence collection from day one.

View Details

Regulatory change management

Real-time horizon scanning, regulatory feed ingestion, impact assessment, and obligation mapping. Built to track 300+ global frameworks against your business and surface what actually matters.

View Details

AI compliance copilots

GenAI assistants for policy drafting, regulatory Q&A, control narrative review, and audit response. Trained on your obligations library with explainability and human-in-the-loop oversight.

View Details

Audit & evidence automation

Continuous controls monitoring, automated evidence capture, walkthrough scheduling, and audit workpapers—turning internal audit and attestation into a documentation exercise, not a quarterly fire drill.

View Details

Third-party & vendor risk

Vendor onboarding, due diligence, ongoing monitoring, contract risk scoring, and TPRM workflows. Plus integration with vendor questionnaire libraries (CAIQ, SIG) and threat intelligence feeds.

View Details

Data privacy & DSAR engineering

GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy program engineering — RoPA, consent management, DSAR fulfillment automation, and data discovery across structured and unstructured systems.

View Details

Legacy GRC modernization

Phased migration off spreadsheet-driven processes, aging on-premise GRC, and bespoke compliance systems. Strangler-fig patterns and zero-downtime cutovers — with audit continuity preserved.

View Details

Continuous controls & SRE

Automated control testing, observability for compliance posture, real-time risk dashboards, and 24/7 SRE — turning compliance into a continuous operational discipline rather than a periodic event.

Need just one of these?

Or a full platform build? Both work — let's scope.

What we focus on

The outcomes that matter

Six outcomes our compliance and governance clients consistently realize — the ones that move regulator confidence, audit cycle time, and risk posture in the right direction.

01 Audit cycle time compresses

Regulatory mapping, control framework design, target operating model, and reference architecture. Output: fixed-scope proposal in 48 hours.

02 Compliance teams focus on judgment

Routine attestation, evidence routing, and regulatory tracking move into the platform. Compliance officers spend their time on the calls that need human judgment — not on chasing screenshots and signatures.

03 Risk visibility across the enterprise

Risk owners, second-line teams, and executives see the same picture — at the same time, in the same format. Surprises stop showing up in board reports because they surface in the dashboard first.

04 Regulatory change lands faster

New rules, amendments, and guidance flow into the obligations library, get mapped to controls, and trigger remediation tasks automatically. Time from regulator publication to operational response shrinks.

04 Vendor & third-party risk stays current

Vendor risk stops being a once-a-year questionnaire. Continuous monitoring, contract intelligence, and threat feeds keep the third-party portfolio accurate between formal reviews — and through the year-end pus

Frequently asked questions

Compliance & governance development FAQs

Structured for AI search engines and Google rich results. Implement FAQPage JSON-LD.

How long does a typical compliance or GRC project take?

Pilots and integrations ship in 6–10 weeks. Full-scale platform builds run 12–20 weeks for focused programs and 9–18 months for enterprise GRC modernization. After a 30-minute discovery call, we provide a detailed milestone-driven timeline before you commit.

Do you build custom GRC platforms, or work with ServiceNow GRC, MetricStream, and Archer?

Both. We build custom cloud-native GRC platforms when off-the-shelf tools don’t fit, and we extend ServiceNow GRC, MetricStream, Archer, OneTrust, and LogicGate when those platforms anchor your stack. Most successful programs blend custom AI layers on top of stable GRC cores.

How do you handle multi-jurisdiction compliance — GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA, DORA, and beyond?

Compliance is engineered, not retrofitted. Every engagement starts with regulatory mapping for your industries and geographies. We build obligation-to-control maps that translate 300+ global frameworks into a unified control library — so the same evidence satisfies multiple regulators simultaneously.jjhu

Can you integrate with our existing risk, security, and audit tools?

Yes. We integrate with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Sentinel), vulnerability scanners, IAM systems (Okta, SailPoint), ticketing (Jira, ServiceNow), HRIS, ERPs, and cloud security posture tools. Compliance evidence flows from operational systems into the GRC layer — not collected by hand.

Who owns the source code and intellectual property?

You own 100% of the source code, ML models, control libraries, and documentation from day one. Full IP assignment is signed before sprint one. Your codebase lives in your GitHub organization — operable entirely by your team after handoff.

What engagement models do you offer?

Fixed-scope projects, dedicated teams, nearshore development centers, and time-and-materials. Most compliance engagements run as dedicated teams with fixed milestones. We’ll recommend the right model during discovery based on your scope, regulatory calendar, and audit cycles.
