Navigating Regulatory Change at Scale
Navigating Regulatory Change at Scale: How Unified Compliance Delivered Clarity in 2025
2025 proved to be a pivotal year for compliance teams, marked by a wave of regulatory change alongside the rapid acceleration of AI adoption across industries. These shifts demanded not only vigilance, but speed, precision, and scale—qualities that are increasingly difficult to achieve with traditional, manual compliance approaches.
Throughout the year, we saw major regulatory developments take shape. The full implementation of CMMC 2.0 raised the bar for cybersecurity maturity assessments across Department of Defense contractors. NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 introduced important updates, with regulators such as the NCUA aligning their Automated Cybersecurity Evaluation Tool accordingly. In California, finalized CCPA regulations expanded requirements around cybersecurity audits, risk assessments, and automated decision-making technologies. Globally, organizations continued to prepare for the broader scope of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), while navigating the phased enforcement of the EU AI Act.
Behind the scenes, Unified Compliance was hard at work translating this complexity into actionable intelligence.
To illustrate the scale of that effort, we compiled a representative snapshot of our recent mapping work. Over the past several months, we mapped nearly 200 authority documents, approximately 70% of which were entirely new and 30% updated versions of existing sources. Collectively, these documents contained 72,137 citations and 60,049 mandates.
From this corpus, we identified just 512 new controls, meaning 59,537 mandates were successfully mapped to existing Unified Compliance Intelligent Controls—achieving over 99.1% control reuse. This level of reuse is not accidental; it is the result of years of investment in a normalized, durable control model designed to scale as regulations evolve.
For our hundreds of customers, this translates directly into meaningful time savings and stronger compliance outcomes. But what truly makes this work rewarding is the impact it has on day-to-day compliance operations—especially for teams using ControlSight.
Instead of spending days parsing dense regulatory texts, manually comparing new versions against old ones, or cross-referencing overlapping standards to avoid duplicative controls, our customers start with the analysis already done. Regulatory change arrives pre-mapped, normalized, and aligned to existing controls—allowing teams to focus on implementation, risk reduction, and assurance rather than document archaeology.
As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited to build on this momentum. Our Intelligent Insight Packs (IIPs) and Authority Document Families (ADFs) will continue to deliver timely, high-fidelity Intelligent Controls that keep pace with regulatory change, so compliance teams can stay ahead without burning out.
We’re grateful to our customers and partners for the trust you place in us, and we look forward to helping make your compliance work simpler, faster, and more resilient in the year ahead.
