Secureframe CEO Discusses the Critical Role of Compliance Automation in Modern Business

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the importance of cybersecurity compliance cannot be overstated. Secureframe, a compliance automation platform, is at the forefront of helping businesses navigate the complexities of modern cybersecurity and privacy standards. Founded by Shrav Mehta, Secureframe has grown from addressing a personal frustration with manual compliance processes to serving thousands of businesses worldwide.

Secureframe automates the traditionally manual and resource-heavy compliance processes for standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and more. The platform significantly reduces manual effort by 75%, accelerates audit completion by 90%, and improves security visibility by 60%. For example, Manufacturing Consulting Concepts saved over 500 hours in achieving compliance with NIST 800-171 and CMMC through Secureframe.

The risks of non-compliance are severe, ranging from loss of contracts and hefty fines to erosion of public trust and operational disruptions. With the enforcement of CMMC 2.0 beginning as early as October 2025, the need for compliance solutions has never been more critical. Secureframe is aiding businesses, especially defense contractors, in preparing for these requirements through its CMMC.com platform, offering automation, policy templates, and expert guidance.

The advent of AI has introduced new complexities into the regulatory landscape, with companies facing a patchwork of state laws and global frameworks. Secureframe recommends adopting principles-based frameworks and conducting regular compliance gap analyses to navigate this uncertainty. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO 42001 are highlighted as valuable resources for building responsible AI systems.

Looking ahead, Secureframe is focused on continuous compliance, federal market leadership, and global compliance, aiming to help businesses adopt new technologies swiftly and securely. In an era where compliance can be a competitive advantage, Secureframe's mission is to ensure that it accelerates business growth rather than hindering it.
