Solutions for enterprise
Hundreds of controls. Dozens of systems.
Automate the evidence, not the judgment.
At enterprise scale the problem stops being expertise. It becomes volume. Compliance as a Service from Nank.ai pulls the evidence out of your systems and watches every control between audits. The decisions stay with your people.

What breaks at scale
Three things that break when a compliance program gets large
None of these is a knowledge problem. Each one is a throughput problem, which is why automation is the answer rather than more people. Compliance as a Service pairs the platform with a compliance manager who owns the program across every entity. Earlier stage problems look different, and we cover those in compliance for SMEs.
Evidence volume outruns the people collecting it
Two hundred controls across forty systems, tested four times a year, is tens of thousands of records. Nobody fails at this. They fall behind, and the sample the auditor tests gets thinner each cycle.
One program, many entities
A subsidiary with its own cloud tenancy. An acquisition still on its own stack. Three business units, two auditors and a group certificate with carve-outs. Each one has its own calendar, and the program spends the year lining them up.
Your buyers want current status, not last year’s report
An annual report covers a window that closed months ago. Bridge letters paper over the gap. Buyers and regulators now ask what your controls are doing today. An annual cadence has no answer to that.
Automation
What the platform does without asking anyone
Automation earns its place where work is high volume, repetitive and checkable. That covers most of the evidence layer and none of the judgment layer. Here is the split. The platform itself is described on the agentic AI compliance platform page.
01
Evidence collection
The platform reads your cloud, identity, code and device systems on a schedule. Control status shows how things are set today. Nobody takes a screenshot in March and calls it proof.
02
Continuous control monitoring
Every control carries an expected state. When reality moves away from it, the platform flags it that day. Not the week before fieldwork.
03
Cross framework testing
One control library sits under all twelve frameworks. An access review tested once answers SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and every other framework that asks for it. Adding a framework does not add a round of testing.
04
Auditor workspace
Your auditor gets a scoped workspace with evidence already attached. Every request is tracked to a close, and none of them route through your engineers.
05
Security questionnaires
Answers come from the same control library that feeds your audits, so what you tell a buyer matches what you told your auditor.
06
Vendor and third party reviews
Suppliers get tiered, reviewed on a cycle and evidenced against the same library. OSFI B-10 asks this of your customers. They pass it down to you.
Limits
Four things no platform can do for you, and we will not pretend otherwise
Every compliance vendor sells automation. Few are clear about where it stops. These are the limits. If a vendor tells you one of them is solved, ask harder questions.
01
It cannot make a control decision
The platform can tell you an access review did not happen. It cannot decide who should have had access. That call belongs to a person who answers for it.
02
It does not remove the auditor
Your auditor still samples and tests. A machine collected record tells you how a system is set. It does not tell you the setting is right. That is the auditor’s opinion to form.
03
It cannot fix a broken process
Automate a control nobody owns and you get faster proof that nobody owns it. Design comes first. That is why a compliance manager sets the control objectives before the connectors go in.
04
It does not write your scope
Entity boundaries, carve-outs and system descriptions are judgment calls. An auditor will challenge them. A person makes them and defends them.
AI governance
Your AI estate is the next thing your auditors ask about
Enterprises adopted AI faster than they governed it. The numbers say so.
Workers using unapproved AI tools showed up in 43 percent of security incidents in 2026. That is more than double the year before. Close to seven in ten breached companies had no policy for governing AI at all. Fewer than one in five had their governance and security teams working together.
One company in five reported an incident involving an AI model or app, up from one in eight. In 92 percent of those, the basics were missing: role based access, multifactor, and the like. If you want the groundwork, start with AI risk assessment versus AI system impact assessment.
ISO/IEC 42001:2023
The answer that exists today
It came out in December 2023, the first certifiable management system standard for AI. It works the way ISO 27001 works.
- Scope and context
- Risk assessment
- Controls and objectives
- Internal audit
- Certification audit
- Continual improvement
It sits on the same control library as everything else you hold, so an enterprise already certified to ISO 27001 starts well ahead.
How it runs
What the engagement looks like from your side
A dedicated compliance manager runs this. Enterprises that want a compliance executive rather than a project lead take the virtual Chief Compliance Officer plan, which adds board reporting, vendor risk and incident advisory year round. Timelines are set out in how long a SOC 2 Type 2 takes.
Design
Control objectives, owners and evidence requirements set across every entity in scope, mapped once across frameworks. Your compliance manager writes the boundary and the reasons for it.
Implement
Connectors go into the systems that hold the evidence. Rollout tasks route to the teams that own them, with policies drafted for your environment.
Operate
Reviews, approvals, scans and training run on schedule and record themselves. Drift raises an alert rather than a surprise.
Verify
Internal audit with documented sampling across entities. Findings route to an owner and retesting runs to closure.
Audit
Each auditor gets a scoped workspace. Your compliance manager runs the engagement and sits in the audit with your team.
Framework coverage
Twelve frameworks, one control library, one set of evidence
A test result recorded once answers every framework that asks for that control. That is what makes a multi framework program affordable to keep running, not just possible to reach. It is why an enterprise holding SOC 2 and ISO 27001 can add ISO 42001 without standing up a third program. See the difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 27002, or start with what SOC 2 is.

Built for Canada
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 in Toronto, Ontario and across Canada, with data residency answered
OSFI’s Guideline B-13 on technology and cyber risk took effect on 1 January 2024 for federally regulated financial institutions. B-10 covers their third party arrangements. If you are an FRFI, both apply to you. If you sell to one, both reach you through the contract.
Canadian data residency compliance is a separate question from SOC 2. Nothing in the Trust Services Criteria asks where your data sits, so a clean report tells a Canadian buyer nothing about residency. We host your data in the country your company resides in, and we handle the residency answer in your system description and in your ISO 27001 supplier and transfer controls.

“AI is making attacks faster and cheaper, while breaches keep getting more expensive.”
Suja Viswesan, VP, IBM Security Software, on the 2026 Cost of a Data Breach findings
The gap between finding a breach and fixing it is where the cost piles up. Companies using AI and automation across prevention, detection, investigation and response close breaches about two months faster. They pay close to two million dollars less than companies using none.
Compliance automation makes the same argument. The value is not that a control gets checked faster. It is that the gap between a control failing and somebody knowing shrinks from a quarter to a day.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Each entity gets its own scope and its own evidence, mapped onto one control library. You see a group view. Each auditor sees only their entity. An acquisition comes in as a new scope, not a new program, so the controls you already run carry over.
The evidence layer and the framework mapping, so your team stops collecting and starts deciding. Some enterprises take the platform alone for that reason. Others take Compliance as a Service for a dedicated compliance manager, or add a virtual Chief Compliance Officer for board reporting and vendor risk.
The evidence layer, almost all of it, once the connectors are in. The judgment layer, none of it, by design. We show you the split for your own environment during the gap analysis. A percentage quoted without your system list means nothing.
Control status is current at all times, which is what a buyer asking about today needs. The report still follows its own cycle. A SOC 2 Type 2 covers a defined window, and an ISO 27001 certificate runs three years with annual surveillance.
Yes. Suppliers get tiered so the effort matches the exposure, then reviewed on a cycle and evidenced against the same library. That is what OSFI B-10 asks for and what your enterprise customers ask about.
ISO 42001 is a certifiable management system standard and it sits on the same control library. If you hold ISO 27001 already, much of the ground work is done. What you add is the AI specific controls.
In the country your company resides in. For Canadian clients that means Canada.
