What is HANDD Compliance
as a Service?

A web-based compliance dashboard that connects directly to your MFT platform, compiles transfer logs, configuration audits, and user activity, then maps everything automatically against the compliance frameworks that matter to your business.
Native MFT Integration
A discovery script runs directly on your environment to automatically collect configuration data — no manual extraction required.
Compliance Scoring
Continuously calculates your compliance rate across each framework, requirement category, and individual control.
Non-Compliance Alerting
Proactively flags gaps, failed controls, and drifting configurations so teams can remediate before audit time.
Audit-Ready Reports
Generate point-in-time compliance reports mapped to specific framework requirements, ready for auditor submission.
