In this ROCon APAC 2025 session, Shailesh Athalye (Senior Vice President, Product Management, Qualys) and Shekhar Rana (Principal Subject Matter Expert, Compliance Solutions, Qualys) outline a modern approach to reducing compliance risk and eliminating audit failure across hybrid environments. Building on themes from the Risk Operations Conference, they break down how organizations can unify evidence, automate control validation, and move from reactive compliance to continuous, risk-driven assurance. This session covers: • Why manual evidence collection and control drift lead to hidden audit exposure • How to align compliance with risk through the TruRisk model • Continuous control monitoring to detect issues before auditors do • Automating evidence gathering across on-prem, cloud, containers, and apps • AI-powered quality checks for accurate, audit-ready data • Creating a single source of truth for security, IT, and compliance teams • Reducing SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO, RBI, and internal audit workload without sacrificing rigor If your teams struggle with fragmented tooling, spreadsheet chaos, or last-minute audit surprises, this session provides a blueprint for predictable, efficient, and defensible compliance outcomes.
