Compliance Framework Mapping

See how HailBytes SAT and HailBytes ASM map to major compliance frameworks and produce auditor-ready evidence.

Compliance framework mapping showing HailBytes ASM and SAT producing auditor-ready evidence (PDF reports, SBOM, SARIF scans, Cosign signatures, audit logs, training records) for 14 frameworks across three regions: eight North American (SOC 2 Type II, NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA Security Rule, GLBA Safeguards Rule, PCI DSS 4.0, FedRAMP Moderate, NYDFS 23 NYCRR Part 500, CIS Controls v8), four Latin American (LGPD, BACEN Resolução 4.893, LFPDPPP, Ley 25.326), and two global (ISO/IEC 27001:2022, GDPR Article 32). Chart distinguishes product capability from HailBytes' own vendor-side compliance posture.

ASM Compliance Reports

HailBytes ASM produces auditor-ready PDF reports mapped to eleven compliance frameworks. Organized below by region — North American first (the frameworks US Enterprise procurement most commonly requests), then Latin American, then global.
