How Compliance Automation Works
Four stages that turn raw endpoint data into audit-ready compliance evidence without manual effort.
Automated Data Collection
32 data pipelines feed compliance data from every managed endpoint. Hardware inventory, software state, configuration baselines, patch levels, account activity, and log streams are collected continuously without technician intervention.
Policy Enforcement
Configuration policies map directly to CIS Controls. Define your security baseline once and Breeze enforces it across every device in scope. Drift is detected in minutes, not quarters.
Posture Scoring
Real-time compliance scoring per device, per organization, and across your entire portfolio. Know exactly which controls are passing, which are drifting, and which need attention right now.
Evidence Generation
Audit-ready reports and evidence packages generated automatically. Timestamped enforcement records, configuration snapshots, and remediation logs ready for assessors without manual assembly.
