The problem
Compliant and secure are not the same thing.
Frameworks like PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 set a floor, not a defense. Audits that stop at evidence collection leave cloud misconfigurations, IAM sprawl, and code-level risk untouched.
Breached companies pass audits every year — the binder was never the path.
Cloud and IAM findings live in a compliance tracker, separate from what security is actually closing.
The report maps controls to a framework and never asks whether those controls reduce attacker success.
