The problem with manual compliance

PCI DSS is one of the most demanding frameworks to manage by hand.

Teams spend 270–1,100 hours and €25k–€120k per cycle just to stay audit-ready.

Evidence, logs, and vendor AoCs scatter across spreadsheets and inboxes.

SIEM reports take days to compile, with data often outdated by the time it’s ready.

Coordinating scans, TRAs, and MFA updates drags multiple teams into chaos.

Compliance becomes less about control — and more about survival each PCI season.
