What is RegScale?
RegScale is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, with R&D in Knoxville, and reported a 70-plus-person team in 2025. It serves dozens of large-enterprise customers with continuous controls monitoring and compliance-as-code.
RegScale is a continuous controls monitoring platform that connects security and cloud telemetry, vulnerability scanners, ITIL systems, and CI/CD pipelines to compliance frameworks. Its compliance-as-code model uses machine-readable controls, automated evidence collection, cross-framework mapping, workflows, dashboards, and AI-assisted analysis to keep security plans and audit artifacts current. Organizations can operate it as a cloud service or deploy it on premises and in air-gapped environments, supporting federal and commercial programs.
The platform covers policy and compliance management, risk registers, third-party and enterprise risk, audits, issues and POA&M remediation, evidence management, reporting, control testing, authorization packages, and DevSecOps workflows. RegScale lists more than 60 natively supported frameworks and more than 75 connectors. The product is designed for complex, multi-framework programs, while G2 reviews identify challenges with reporting, filtering, and customization. These needs should be scoped during implementation.
RegScale is aimed at government agencies, defense contractors, financial-services organizations, technology companies, and other regulated enterprises rather than lightweight self-serve compliance teams. Public pricing is not offered on the vendor site, and the vendor does not publish a free trial. A Community Edition is described as free, while reseller listings show annual enterprise subscriptions from $133,900 for ATO Automation Base SaaS.
Key features
Continuous controls monitoring
Continuously assesses controls and connects live operational evidence to compliance requirements instead of relying solely on point-in-time audits.
Compliance as code
Uses machine-readable controls and standards such as OSCAL, with APIs, webhooks, and CI/CD integration for automated workflows.
Evidence automation
Collects evidence from cloud, scanner, DevOps, ITIL, and security tools and stores it in an evidence locker with hashing.
Framework mapping
Maps shared controls across more than 60 frameworks so teams can assess once and reuse work across programs.
Risk and remediation
Supports enterprise, system, third-party, and audit risk with issues, POA&M tracking, workflows, and remediation reporting.
Authorization packages
Builds and maintains security plans and authorization packages, including FedRAMP and OSCAL exports.
AI-assisted GRC
RegML AI agents assist with documentation, audits, risk assessments, evidence mapping, and control analysis.

How does RegScale work and how long does implementation take?
+
It connects security, cloud, scanner, ITIL, and DevOps data to machine-readable controls, then automates evidence, testing, workflows, and reporting. Implementation time depends on frameworks, integrations, deployment model, and authorization scope.
How does RegScale compare with Vanta?
+
Vanta is generally positioned around streamlined startup and mid-market certifications, while RegScale targets complex federal and enterprise programs with compliance-as-code, OSCAL, continuous controls monitoring, and on-premises or air-gapped deployment.
What integrations does RegScale support?
+
Named integrations include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, ServiceNow, Jira, Salesforce, Tenable, Qualys, Wiz, Axonius, QRadar, and CSAM. The company says it has 75-plus integrations, APIs, webhooks, and more than 2,000 REST API endpoints.
Who is RegScale for?
+
Its primary buyers are federal agencies, defense contractors, financial-services and technology companies, and other organizations with complex multi-framework compliance. It is less suited to a small business seeking a simple, low-cost SOC 2 checklist.
Is RegScale secure and accurate for audit work?
+
RegScale has FedRAMP High authorization and supports cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped deployment. Buyers still need to validate mappings, configure integrations, and review AI-assisted outputs; G2 feedback is limited to three reviews.
