“GravityZone Compliance Manager performed well for us during early access. The continuous monitoring and assessment feature reduced our reliance on manual scans, saving valuable time. Because it’s integrated into our existing security stack, we’ve avoided the additional cost and complexity of using external tools. It has simplified our operations by eliminating the need for multiple point solutions,” stated Alin Paunescu, chief information security officer at Patria Bank.
In recent research, Gartner® recommends that organizations, “Combine compliance and risk management effectively by prioritizing the implementation of impact-based assessments and automated, continuous monitoring capabilities.”¹ With regulations like GDPR, PCI DSS, NIS2 and DORA introducing stricter penalties, organizations can no longer afford fragmented or manual compliance approaches. The financial consequences of non-compliance are severe with fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover under GDPR and $100 thousand per month under PCI DSS. These penalties come in addition to significant reputational damage organizations face that often follows regulatory violations.
Regulatory demands are increasing, but most organizations still rely on fragmented tools and manual processes. Designed as an add-on to Bitdefender GravityZone, the company’s flagship unified security and risk analytics platform, GravityZone Compliance Manager minimizes complexity by unifying compliance, risk, and security operations in a single platform. It delivers real-time compliance scoring, automated reporting, and guided remediation, all without the need for specialized in-house expertise.
Key Benefits of GravityZone Compliance Manager:
- Automated Audit-Ready Reports in Seconds – Instantly generate compliance reports aligned with auditor requirements using existing Bitdefender tooling. GravityZone Compliance Manager simplifies audit preparation by automating evidence collection and removing reporting complexity. Reports are structured for auditor review and include an executive summary of the organization’s overall compliance score, a breakdown of compliant versus non-compliant checks, and a risk overview detailing the severity of high, medium, and low risks.
- One Platform for Security, Risk Management, and Compliance – GravityZone Compliance Manager builds on Bitdefender’s unified platform by adding compliance management to a foundation that already includes prevention, detection, response, and risk analytics. Combined with Bitdefender Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction (PHASR), which proactively reduces exposure by disabling unused or risky system tools, organizations can both harden their environments and stay continuously aligned with compliance requirements. When risks are resolved, compliance status updates automatically which streamlines operations and improves the organizations’ cybersecurity posture.
- Supports Major Industry and Geo Specific Compliance Standards – GravityZone Compliance Manager provides immediate visibility into endpoint compliance posture and streamlines regulatory alignment with out-of-the-box support for major frameworks—including region and industry-specific standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, DORA, NIS 2 Directive, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CISv8, CMMC 2.0 and more. Businesses quickly identify and remediate compliance gaps with a single click and can drill down further into specific standards or benchmarks to view detailed information on associated risks and affected assets.
