Rapid7 is launching Cyber GRC, a product that integrates governance, risk management, and compliance directly into security operations workflows. The post argues that traditional point-in-time audit cycles are incompatible with today's threat landscape, where vulnerability exploitation rose 34% year-over-year and median time from CVE publication to mass exploitation is now zero days. Cyber GRC connects security telemetry, remediation activity, and compliance evidence into a continuous view, supporting frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, and HITRUST E1. The goal is to replace compliance theater with live, operationally grounded evidence that satisfies regulators (SEC, NIS2, DORA, CMMC) and board-level oversight.
