Annual Audits Are a Ticking Time Bomb
If you only think about compliance once a year, you're exposing your business to breaches, penalties, and lost contracts every single day in between.
Point-in-Time Audits Create False Confidence
Most businesses in Raleigh, Durham, and across the Triangle treat compliance like a checkbox exercise. They pass their annual audit, breathe a sigh of relief, and go back to business as usual. But compliance drift begins the moment the auditor leaves. New employees are onboarded without proper training. Patches are delayed. Configurations change. By the time the next audit cycle rolls around, organizations often discover they've been out of compliance for months — leaving them vulnerable to breaches and exposed to regulatory action they never saw coming.
Regulatory Complexity Is Accelerating
HIPAA enforcement is intensifying with OCR issuing record fines. CMMC 2.0 is now mandatory for Defense Industrial Base contractors. SOC 2 expectations continue to expand. PCI DSS 4.0 introduced new requirements. The FTC Safeguards Rule tightened controls for financial services. Each framework evolves independently, and organizations subject to multiple frameworks face an almost impossible task of tracking every control across every standard without automated, continuous monitoring. The average cost of non-compliance has reached $14.82 million per organization.
Manual Compliance Is Unsustainable
Spreadsheets, shared drives full of policy documents, and quarterly vulnerability scans simply cannot keep pace with modern threat landscapes and regulatory timelines. Companies in the Research Triangle Park and across North Carolina are learning that manual compliance processes consume hundreds of staff hours, produce incomplete evidence, and create gaps that attackers exploit. The organizations that thrive are the ones that automate compliance monitoring and treat it as a continuous business function, not a periodic project.
Continuous Compliance in Five Steps
PTG's approach transforms compliance from a reactive scramble into a proactive, automated process that runs 24/7/365.
Baseline Assessment
We evaluate your current security controls, policies, and documentation against every applicable framework to establish your compliance baseline and identify gaps.
Control Mapping
Our ComplyBot AI maps your existing controls to HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, NIST, PCI DSS, and other frameworks simultaneously, eliminating duplicate effort across overlapping requirements.
Automated Monitoring
Continuous scanning detects configuration drift, missing patches, policy violations, and control failures in real time. Alerts trigger before gaps become audit findings.
Gap Remediation
When issues are detected, our platform automatically generates remediation tickets, prioritizes them by risk, and tracks them to resolution with documented evidence.
Audit-Ready Reporting
Real-time dashboards and automated report generation keep your compliance documentation current. When auditors arrive, your evidence package is ready to deliver in minutes.
What makes PTG's approach different is the integration of our proprietary AI agent ComplyBot with experienced human compliance analysts. ComplyBot handles the continuous monitoring, control mapping, and documentation automation. Our human team interprets the results, manages remediation priorities, and provides the strategic guidance that ensures your compliance program isn't just technically accurate — it's operationally effective. This hybrid model delivers the efficiency of automation with the judgment that only seasoned compliance professionals can provide.
Everything You Need for Continuous Compliance
Real-Time Control Monitoring
Our platform continuously evaluates your technical controls, access management, encryption standards, and configuration baselines against framework requirements. When a control drifts out of compliance, you know within minutes — not months. The monitoring engine checks endpoints, cloud infrastructure, network devices, and applications 24/7, generating timestamped evidence that auditors require for continuous compliance verification.
Automated Evidence Collection
Stop spending weeks gathering screenshots and spreadsheets before every audit. Our system automatically collects, organizes, and timestamps compliance evidence as your controls operate. Access logs, vulnerability scan results, patch deployment records, training completion certificates, and policy acknowledgments are archived continuously and mapped to the specific framework controls they satisfy. Your audit evidence package builds itself.
Multi-Framework Control Mapping
Most organizations must comply with multiple frameworks simultaneously. Our ComplyBot AI identifies overlapping controls across HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, NIST, and PCI DSS so you implement each control once and satisfy multiple requirements. This eliminates the duplicate effort that inflates compliance budgets and streamlines the entire program into a single, unified dashboard with framework-specific views for each auditor.
Automated Remediation Workflows
When our monitoring detects a gap, the platform automatically creates a prioritized remediation ticket with step-by-step resolution instructions. Tickets are assigned to the appropriate team member, tracked through resolution, and documented with before-and-after evidence. Our risk-scoring algorithm ensures your team addresses the most critical gaps first, reducing your window of exposure and creating an auditable remediation trail.
Executive Compliance Dashboard
Your leadership team and board of directors need visibility into compliance posture without wading through technical details. Our executive dashboard provides real-time compliance scores by framework, trend analysis, risk heat maps, and remediation progress tracking. Generate board-ready reports with one click that demonstrate due diligence and communicate the business value of your compliance investments.
Policy Lifecycle Management
Policies are the foundation of every compliance framework, but most organizations let them gather dust after initial creation. Our platform manages the complete policy lifecycle — drafting, review, approval, distribution, acknowledgment tracking, and version control. When regulations change, our compliance team updates your policy templates and pushes revision workflows automatically, ensuring your documentation always reflects current requirements.

Continuous Compliance Questions Answered
What is continuous cybersecurity compliance?
Continuous cybersecurity compliance is an approach that replaces periodic, point-in-time audits with 24/7 automated monitoring of your security controls, policies, and documentation. Instead of discovering compliance gaps once a year during an audit, continuous compliance identifies and remediates issues in real time — ensuring your organization meets regulatory requirements every day, not just on assessment day. PTG's platform combines AI-driven monitoring with human expertise to deliver this capability to businesses in Raleigh, Durham, and across the Triangle.
How much does continuous compliance monitoring cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your organization, the number of compliance frameworks you need to satisfy, and the complexity of your IT environment. PTG offers monthly subscription models that typically cost less than hiring a single full-time compliance analyst. Every engagement starts with a free compliance assessment so we can scope the right solution for your budget. Call 919-348-4912 for a custom quote tailored to your business.
How is this different from annual compliance audits?
Annual audits evaluate your compliance posture at a single point in time. They tell you where you stood on audit day, but they can't tell you whether you maintained compliance during the other 364 days. Continuous compliance monitoring fills that gap by evaluating your controls around the clock, detecting drift immediately, and creating a documented trail of evidence that proves ongoing compliance to regulators and auditors. Think of it as the difference between an annual physical and a continuous health monitor.
Which compliance frameworks does PTG support?
Our continuous compliance platform supports HIPAA, CMMC 2.0 (all levels), NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, SOC 2 Type I and Type II, PCI DSS 4.0, DFARS, FTC Safeguards Rule, GDPR, FERPA, and ITAR. Our ComplyBot AI agent maps your controls across multiple frameworks simultaneously, so you can satisfy overlapping requirements without duplicating effort. We continuously update our framework mappings as regulations evolve.
How long does it take to get started?
The initial onboarding process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of your environment. During this period, we perform a baseline compliance assessment, deploy monitoring agents, configure your framework mappings, and establish remediation workflows. Most clients see their first compliance dashboard within the first week, with full continuous monitoring operational by the end of the onboarding period.
Do you provide on-site compliance support in the Raleigh-Durham area?
Yes. PTG is headquartered in Raleigh, NC, and our compliance consultants provide on-site assessments, remediation support, and audit preparation throughout the Triangle, including Durham, Chapel Hill, Research Triangle Park, Cary, and Apex. We also deliver comprehensive remote support for organizations outside the region through our cloud-based compliance platform.
Can you help us prepare for a specific upcoming audit?
Absolutely. While our continuous compliance service is designed for ongoing monitoring, many clients initially engage us for audit preparation. We'll assess your current posture against the specific framework your auditor will evaluate, identify and prioritize gaps, guide your remediation efforts, and prepare your evidence documentation. After the audit, most clients transition to continuous monitoring to ensure they maintain their compliance posture and avoid the pre-audit scramble in future cycles.
What happens when a compliance gap is detected?
When our platform detects a control failure or configuration drift, it automatically generates a prioritized remediation ticket with detailed resolution steps, assigns it to the appropriate team member, and begins tracking time-to-resolution. For critical gaps, our team receives immediate alerts and can initiate remediation within minutes. All detection and remediation activities are logged with timestamps to create the audit trail that regulators require as evidence of your compliance program's effectiveness.
How does your AI agent ComplyBot work?
ComplyBot is PTG's proprietary AI compliance assistant. It continuously ingests data from your security controls, vulnerability scanners, access management systems, and policy repositories, then maps that data against the specific control requirements of every applicable compliance framework. ComplyBot identifies overlapping controls across frameworks, flags gaps, generates audit-ready documentation, and provides natural-language compliance status updates. It works alongside our human compliance analysts, handling the high-volume monitoring while our experts manage strategy and remediation priorities.
Is continuous compliance required by regulators?
While most regulations technically require ongoing compliance rather than point-in-time compliance, many organizations have historically treated annual audits as sufficient. That is changing. CMMC 2.0 requires continuous monitoring. HIPAA enforcement increasingly examines compliance program maturity. SOC 2 Type II evaluates controls over a period of time. PCI DSS 4.0 introduced ongoing security requirements. Organizations that adopt continuous compliance monitoring now are positioning themselves ahead of regulatory trends — and significantly reducing their risk of findings, fines, and breach liability.
