Axiom Refract for Compliance Officers
Replace self-assessment checklists with evidence-backed architectural compliance mapping
The Challenge
You are responsible for ensuring the organization meets compliance requirements — SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and others. For infrastructure and process controls, you have established evidence collection workflows. For architectural controls, you depend on engineering self-assessments.
Engineering self-assessments are well-intentioned but structurally unreliable. They reflect what engineers believe the architecture looks like, not what it actually looks like. They are updated when someone remembers to update them, which is rarely aligned with audit timelines.
You need compliance evidence that is extracted directly from the codebase — automatically generated, independently verifiable, and current as of the most recent scan.
How Axiom Refract Helps
Evidence-Backed Compliance Mapping
Axiom maps architectural findings to SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST SSDF, GDPR, CCPA, and three additional frameworks. Evidence is extracted from code, not self-reported.
Audit-Ready Deliverables
Receive compliance artifacts in DOCX and Markdown formats ready for auditor review. No reformatting, no manual compilation, no last-minute scrambles.
Continuous Compliance Posture
Run scans continuously to maintain a current compliance posture. When the auditor asks for evidence, it is already generated and up to date.
What You Get
- Compliance mapping reports for nine frameworks — SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST SSDF, GDPR, CCPA, and more
- Evidence chains linking architectural findings to specific compliance controls
- DOCX reports formatted for auditor consumption
- Architectural risk assessment aligned with compliance risk categories
- Historical scan records demonstrating continuous compliance monitoring
Imagine your SOC 2 Type II auditor asks for evidence that architectural single points of failure are identified and mitigated. You open Axiom, pull the latest scan, and hand them a SPOF manifest with mitigation status — generated automatically from the actual codebase, not from a spreadsheet an engineer filled out three months ago.
