DOC PROVENOUS‑003 STATUS ARCHITECTURE READY REV 2026.08 VERTICAL ENTERPRISE RISK & REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Enterprise Risk & Regulatory Compliance

Every policy, control, and system —
mapped and monitored live.

Risk and compliance teams maintain a single source of truth across thousands of policies, controls, and infrastructure configurations by hand. Provenous keeps that map current automatically, and flags drift before an audit finds it.

The problem

Compliance evidence gets compiled ad-hoc, and non-compliance is found during audits — not in real time.

Risk and compliance teams struggle to maintain a single source of truth across thousands of policies, controls, and infrastructure configurations. When a regulation changes — GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST — they manually map it to existing controls, a process that can take weeks.

Compliance evidence is compiled ad-hoc during audits, often missing critical links between policies and the infrastructure that's supposed to enforce them. Non-compliance is discovered during the audit itself, not before it.

How Provenous changes this Policies, controls, and infrastructure are all facts in the same living map. A configuration drifts from a compliant state, and the map — not next quarter's audit — is what notices.
Capabilities

Wherever this vertical's truth already lives.

Layer 1A — the connectors below — is the only piece built specifically for risk & compliance. Everything else is the same Provenous Core already live in production for another vertical.

Connects to

Policy & Regulation

GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, HIPAA and internal policy documents, normalized into the same canonical event.

Connects to

Control Frameworks

Control libraries and framework mappings (SOC 2, NIST CSF) that define what "compliant" actually means.

Connects to

IT & Cloud Inventory

Terraform, cloud config, and infrastructure inventory — the actual state a control is supposed to govern.

Connects to

Incident & Risk Events

Security incidents and risk register entries, linked back to the control that should have caught them.

Connects to

Audit & Evidence

Prior audit findings and evidence artifacts, kept as first-class facts instead of a folder of PDFs.

Agents

Continuous control monitoring

Router Agents resolve policy and control IDs deterministically; Reasoning Agents flag gaps between a policy and the infrastructure meant to enforce it.

Governance

HITL-gated remediation

A drifted configuration can trigger an alert or a proposed remediation — never an automatic change — until a human signs off.

Provenous Lens

Policy-to-infrastructure map

One dashboard answers "which controls does this change violate?" before the change ships, not after the next audit.

How it works

Same engine, a compliance-shaped ontology on top.

Continuous Control Monitoring

Same mechanism as every other Provenous deployment — Kafka-class event sourcing, deterministic ID resolution, a bi-temporal context projection, and HITL-gated agents. Only Layer 1A (the connectors on the left) and Provenous Lens, the dashboards on the right, are specific to risk & compliance.

Built for regulated industries

Speaks the standards your auditor already speaks.

GDPREU data protection law — governs how personal data is collected, processed, and erased on request. ISO 27001International standard for information security management systems — controls, risk treatment, and audits. SOC 2An auditor's attestation that a service organization's security, availability, and confidentiality controls actually work. NISTUS federal cybersecurity and risk-management frameworks (e.g. CSF, 800-53) widely adopted as a baseline control set. PCI DSSPayment Card Industry Data Security Standard — controls required to store, process, or transmit cardholder data. HIPAAUS law protecting patient health information — governs its use, disclosure, and required safeguards.

Architecture-ready, not yet built: the Provenous Core — event sourcing, the bi-temporal context layer, HITL governance — is already live in production for our Product Development deployment. Extending it here means building this vertical's ontology and connectors on that same core, not re-platforming.

What's different

Not a nicer report. A different source of truth.

A regulation changes; mapping it to existing controls takes weeks.
The control map updates as policies and controls are ingested — no separate mapping project.
A misconfigured resource sits undetected until the next audit.
Infrastructure state is part of the same map a control lives in — drift is visible immediately.
Audit evidence is assembled by hand from a dozen systems.
Evidence is a queryable fact, tagged to the moment it was true.
