👉 A compliance weapon is a term used in cybersecurity to describe a tool or technique that enforces regulatory compliance by automatically ensuring that systems, processes, and data adhere to specific legal and industry standards. These weapons can be software solutions or automated scripts that monitor, detect, and remediate non-compliant activities in real-time, reducing the risk of penalties and data breaches. They often integrate with existing IT infrastructure to provide continuous compliance monitoring, generating alerts and reports for timely intervention. By automating compliance checks, these weapons help organizations maintain adherence to regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, thereby minimizing manual oversight and human error.
