SISA Pulse - Forensics-driven Continuous Compliance Automation

Automate audit readiness with controls shaped by real-world breach intelligence.

The compliance process is broken before the audit begins

Compliance teams struggle with unclear implementation guidance, fragmented evidence, static frameworks and unstructured workflows resulting in longer audits, higher costs, and controls that fail to address real threats.

The Pulse advantage

Pulse is architected around the real organisational structure of compliance from internal review and implementation to external audit and leadership oversight.

Pulse uses a four-way evidence collection model designed for diverse and complex enterprise environments

Lightweight agents capture configuration states, logs, and control outputs continuously from in-scope systems.

Clients upload existing evidence repositories. Pulse automatically reads, classifies, and maps uploaded files to relevant controls.

API-based connectors pull evidence from cloud platforms, SaaS tools, and network infrastructure without requiring local agents.

Dedicated collectors for regulated, air-gapped networks where cloud connectivity is not permitted.

Pulse combines enterprise-grade automation, AI-driven evidence review, multi-framework mapping and audit-ready documentation for unified audit and compliance

Continuous control monitoring across hybrid environments, not just cloud-native SaaS

Automated evidence mapping across all active frameworks

AI-powered forensic intelligence engine for control prioritization, attack path awareness and dynamic risk scoring

AI-based review and validation of evidence quality, completeness and audit-readiness

Breach simulation to test controls against real-world attacks and control gap insights benchmarked by industry, framework and region

Continuous validation of controls using new threat intelligence and forensic insights

Full audit lifecycle management from evidence staging and auditor reviews to remediation workflow and final reporting

End-to-end policy governance with pre-built templates and control libraries within a single workflow

Control risk weighting

Each control is weighted by risk significance within its framework.

Evidence quality & recency

Factors in how current, complete, and audit-grade the evidence is.

Operational effectiveness

Reflects whether controls are operating, not just documented.

Continuous refresh

Updates automatically as evidence is collected and findings remediated.

FAQs

SISA Pulse is a cyber resilience scoring and continuous compliance platform. It automates evidence collection, maps technical controls across multiple frameworks, and provides a unified, risk-weighted compliance score for CISOs.

Pulse is critical for fintech, healthcare, and SaaS providers. Ultimately, any industry doing business that requires managing multiple overlapping regulatory frameworks (like PCI DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR) needs Pulse to eliminate audit fatigue.

Pulse uses a four-way collection model: lightweight agents, API-based agentless connectors, automated bulk ingestion (powered by AI), and dedicated offline collectors designed for secure, air-gapped environments.

Instead of treating compliance as an annual checkbox, Pulse continuously validates that security controls are configured correctly and operating effectively between audit cycles, preventing critical compliance drift.

Yes, Pulse intelligently maps a single piece of gathered evidence across all active frameworks (e.g., applying a firewall config log to both PCI DSS and ISO 27001), eliminating duplicate work for security teams.

Pulse generates a proprietary 0–100% risk-weighted metric. It evaluates control significance, evidence quality, and operational effectiveness to give security leadership a single, actionable number representing their true compliance posture.

Yes, while available as a SaaS solution, Pulse is fully architected to support on-premises or client-cloud deployments, catering to highly regulated institutions that cannot push sensitive audit data to external clouds.

Unlike generic GRC tools, Pulse dynamically weights control risks based on live forensic insights and breach intelligence gathered by SISA’s incident response teams, ensuring audits focus on real-world threats.
