Working Group

Regulatory Analysis and Compliance Engineering

Developing machine-readable mappings, automation tools, and methodologies to align cybersecurity controls with evolving regulations.
Regulatory Analysis and Compliance Engineering
Regulatory analysis in the context of the CAR Initiative involves systematically evaluating and mapping regulatory frameworks, standards, and industry requirements to cybersecurity controls. It aims to standardize compliance interpretation by creating machine-readable formats, identifying control relationships across frameworks, and defining logical mapping rules. This process helps organizations understand how various regulations align with their security controls, supports continuous monitoring and auditing, and enables automation by leveraging AI/ML-driven tools for compliance interpretation. Additionally, it fosters engagement with regulators to validate mappings and drive harmonization across global regulatory landscapes.

  • Develops best practices for regulatory mapping and compliance gap analysis.
  • Creates machine-readable formats for regulatory frameworks.
  • Establishes methodologies for analyzing and mapping regulatory requirements to control objectives.
  • Defines logical rules for regulatory interpretation and cross-framework mapping.
  • Identifies relationships between regulatory controls (e.g., One-to-One, One-to-Many, Many-to-Many mappings).
  • Develops protocols for engaging with regulators and standards bodies to validate and approve mappings.
  • Design regulatory analysis tooling leveraging AI/ML for automating compliance interpretation.
  • Produces a framework for aligning regulatory requirements with continuous control monitoring and auditing.
