A compliance audit is a systematic review of an organization’s SaaS configurations, processes, and policies to ensure adherence to industry regulations and internal standards. These audits focus on critical areas such as data privacy, access controls, and incident response readiness, aligning operations with frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2. Effective compliance audits help organizations identify and remediate vulnerabilities, avoid fines, and maintain trust with customers and stakeholders. Automating compliance audits with SaaS security tools ensures continuous monitoring and streamlined reporting.
