Secureframe Unveils Custom Automated Tests, Enhancing AI-Driven Compliance Flexibility

The most comprehensive automated testing solution delivers industry-leading cloud validation capabilities, external data integration and enhanced compliance insights for organizations looking to strengthen their security posture

October 29, 2024—SAN FRANCISCO, C.A.—Secureframe, the leading provider of security compliance automation, today announced the launch of Custom Automated Tests. This powerful new feature allows direct customers and managed service providers (MSPs) to create, modify and customize automated compliance tests for cloud resources, addressing the growing need for flexibility in compliance programs.

As organizations face increasing regulatory demands, the need for adaptable compliance solutions has never been greater. In 2023, almost 70% of service organizations reported needing to demonstrate compliance with at least six frameworks spanning information security and data privacy taxonomies, and that number continues to grow. 

"As compliance requirements become more complex, organizations need tools that can adapt to unique systems and processes," said Shrav Mehta, CEO of Secureframe. "We developed Custom Automated Tests to empower teams to take control of their compliance automation, and to ensure their testing aligns perfectly with specific needs and regulatory obligations."

Understanding the need for Custom Automated Tests 

While Secureframe's out-of-the-box (OOTB) automated tests have streamlined compliance for many small to medium-sized businesses, the company recognized that there are unique cases that go beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. Custom Automated Tests address this challenge by allowing businesses to create and modify compliance tests that align precisely with their unique infrastructure and regulatory requirements.

Key Features of Custom Automated Tests

  • Search Resources: Locate any cloud resource in an organization’s environment.
  • Adjust Test Scope: Specify which resources or subset of resources should be included or excluded from tests.
  • Create New Tests: Leverage existing integrated data to build custom tests addressing unique compliance requirements.
  • Edit Tests: Modify the logic of published Custom Automated Tests as compliance and security needs evolve.

Key Benefits

  • Reduce Manual Work: Minimize the need to pass tests through manual uploads or ignore failing tests due to misalignment with standard tests.
  • Increase Automation Coverage: Expand automated testing scope that captures more compliance requirements without additional effort.
  • Enhanced Resource Visibility: Discover and resolve nuanced asset misconfigurations.
  • Strengthen Compliance Posture: With more accurate and comprehensive testing, teams can confidently demonstrate compliance to auditors and stakeholders.

Early Adopters See Immediate Impact 

Leading organizations like Fivetran are already leveraging Secureframe's Custom Automated Tests to transform their compliance processes.

"We initially chose Secureframe for their ability to help us efficiently manage multiple custom frameworks while maintaining control over our compliance environment," said Chris Chew, Director of GRC at Fivetran. "The launch of Custom Automated Tests takes this flexibility even further, giving us a powerful tool to build targeted, informative tests for high-risk areas. This capability has been instrumental in strengthening our compliance program."

"The success our early adopters have achieved validates our vision for Custom Automated Tests," added Mehta. "By providing this level of flexibility and customization, we're helping organizations transform compliance from a checkbox exercise to a seamless part of their operations."

Leading the Way in Compliance Automation

The launch of Custom Automated Tests builds on Secureframe's momentum in leading the industry and empowering organizations to fortify their security postures. Secureframe's AI-driven approach to compliance automation sets it apart in the market, offering unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in managing complex regulatory requirements.

Secureframe was recently recognized on Inc.’s 2024 Power Partners List as one of the best B2B providers for organizations in the Privacy and Security category, continuing to set the standard for innovative compliance solutions. In September, the company introduced a free Gap Assessment tool, helping service partners identify security and compliance gaps for their clients. Additionally, June saw the launch of Secureframe's comprehensive Service Partner Program and expansion of EMEA support, further solidifying its commitment to the channel and international markets.
