Streamlined compliance at enterprise scale.
From spreadsheet chaos to audit-ready automation — with zero manual drudgery.
Security and compliance teams today face a brutal reality: audits are relentless, standards are multiplying, and most engineering orgs are moving way too fast for the traditional evidence model to keep up.
Whether you’re trying to maintain SOC 2, achieve ISO 27001, demonstrate NIST readiness, or pass a DORA audit, the fundamental blockers are the same:
- Evidence is scattered across 10+ tools
- You rely on screenshots and spreadsheets
- Proving “continuous compliance” means redoing the same manual work, every quarter
Smithy solves this by turning your engineering workflows into structured, auditable, live evidence — by default. Every action, every finding, every scan gets enriched with what controls are relevant from the standards and internal policies the user has selected.
Compliance by Design, Not Afterthought
Smithy integrates across your SDLC — code, CI/CD, cloud — and tracks security and compliance activities as they happen.
Here’s what that means in practice:
- Every scan, review, fix, and exception is logged with time, owner, and context
- Controls are continuously tested via policy-as-code (e.g., “no criticals go to prod”)
- Reports are generated per framework, per team, per service — instantly
So instead of asking “Did we do X?” every audit cycle…
You can show who did it, when, why, and how it aligns with your controls.
Real-Time Evidence for Any Framework
The Smithy team are the developers behind opencre.org the world’s largest security knowledge graph. We used the same data and knowhow to quickly, efficiently and flexibly map several standards.
Smithy’s compliance engine comes with out-of-the-box mapping for major standards:
- SOC 2
- ISO 27001
- NIST 800-53
- PCI-DSS
- DORA, NIS2, GDPR
And because it’s built on open control mappings (e.g., OpenCRE, OCF), we can extend it easily to your own policies or internal controls.
Every artifact — a passed check, a PR with a security fix, an exception workflow — becomes automatically structured evidence that aligns to the relevant control.
“Yes, we check dependencies weekly.”

Continuous Assurance, Not Point-in-Time Scrambles
Smithy replaces the “audit scramble” model with a live posture view.
- Real-time dashboards of control coverage across teams
- Timers and freshness indicators on evidence (e.g., last SCA run, last access review)
- GRC and audit users can log in and self-serve the current state
You don’t chase teams down for evidence. Smithy collects it continuously and stores it in a structured, reviewable format.
Flexibility for Your Stack and Your Standards
Smithy plays well with complex, hybrid environments:
- Works with both cloud-native and on-prem infrastructure
- Integrates with Jira, Linear and any evidence repository
- Supports custom attestations, e.g., “This control was tested via red team exercise #5”
- API access for downstream reporting or auditor export
Whether you run Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, or a mainframe — Smithy acts as the compliance nerve center.
Built for Product Security, Backed by Engineering
Smithy is not a checkbox tool — it’s a live bridge between GRC and engineering.
- Security teams get alerts, not nag lists
- Developers get guidance on how to pass controls without guesswork
- GRC teams get an up-to-date map of what’s done, what’s missing, and what’s stale
And your auditors?
They get a self-contained evidence bundle, exported in a click — with full traceability from control to activity to responsible team.
Achieve Continuous Compliance in Weeks, Not Quarters
With Smithy, teams have reported:
- A massive reduction in time spent gathering audit evidence
- Real-time coverage mapping for key frameworks
- Seamless alignment between engineering velocity and compliance accountability
You’re no longer choosing between secure, fast, or compliant.
You get all three.
