Compliance Automation Revolution

About This Working Group

The Compliance Automation Revolution (CAR) Working Group focuses on advancing security and compliance automation, and continuous assurance through standardized, and machine-readable approaches to controls, assessments, and governance. CAR brings together industry stakeholders to develop strategies that reduce compliance burden while improving consistency, transparency, and scalability across cloud and emerging technologies.

As part of this effort, the Security Controls Catalog operates as a CAR subgroup responsible for maintaining a canonical set of technology-agnostic security controls and control metadata. The subgroup focuses on control harmonization, regulatory mappings, machine-readable control formats, and governance of control content to support automation and interoperability across CSA frameworks and external standards.
