CASE STUDY

Control-to-Regulation Traceability Across Jurisdictions

Customer Type: Financial Institution / Wealth Manager / Regional Bank

Primary Framework(s): SOX + PCI DSS + Regional Banking Regulations

Workflow Type: Controls → Regulatory Mapping → Gap + Change Impact

Customer Profile

  • Financial institution operating under multiple regulatory regimes
  • Must demonstrate traceability of controls to regulations
  • Needs fast impact assessment as requirements evolve

The Challenge

  • Multiple overlapping regulatory requirements created heavy overhead
  • Manual mapping was resource intensive and slow to update
  • Risk of non-compliance and fines increased with regulatory change
  • Hard to quickly assess the impact of new or updated requirements

How They Used CMAI

  • Submitted control and policy documentation
  • Mapped internal controls to SOX/PCI and regional requirements
  • Identified gaps and duplicate efforts across regulations
  • Generated regulator-ready traceability artifacts
  • Ran rapid impact checks when regulations changed

Implementation Pattern

Controls + Policies → CMAI API → Regulation Mappings + Gaps → Regulatory Reporting + Change Workflow

Results Delivered

  • 30–50% Overhead Reduction in compliance mapping effort (typical target)
  • Auditable Traceability of controls to requirements
  • Faster Change Impact Assessment as regulations evolve

Why This Was a Fit

They needed a repeatable method to maintain mapping integrity across jurisdictions without scaling compliance headcount.

Drop-In Compliance Annotation (Universal Pattern)

CMAI is deployed as a stateless API inside existing pipelines to automatically tag findings, policies, and questionnaires with structured control mappings—without requiring platform migration or centralized data storage.
