Transform regulatory constraints into sustainable performance

Regulations such as DORA, NIS2, GDPR and France’s LPM are redefining how organizations must manage their operational, IT and cyber risks. They now require a continuous, evidence-based demonstration of compliance: the ability to prove at any time that controls exist, function effectively and deliver the expected outcomes.

This requirement is no longer limited to compliance teams. It now involves governance, security, business functions and executive management.
At the 2025 INNN Exhibition (Innovation, Insurtech and Risk), the joint approach of Ignimission and Kyndryl demonstrated how these regulatory obligations can be transformed into a sustainable and measurable performance driver.

From regulation to a structuring force

The growing number of regulations and frameworks marks a major shift: compliance is no longer a one-off exercise but an ongoing process.

Recent texts require companies to demonstrate their ability to maintain business continuity in the event of an incident, secure their systems and third parties, track and audit their controls, and involve executive management in oversight.

This evolution reflects the current context: more frequent cyber threats, greater technological dependencies and a rising expectation of resilience across both public and private sectors. The goal is no longer to tick boxes but to embed measurable, manageable and integrated practices into everyday operations.

From manual fragmentation to centralized data

In many organizations, compliance is still managed manually through scattered reports, Excel files, manual validations and unsecured data exchanges.
This fragmented and time-consuming approach makes consolidation slow and unreliable: discrepancies are poorly documented, evidence is scattered and data is often inconsistent.

As a result, demonstrating compliance becomes a complex, resource-intensive task with limited benefit. Management teams struggle to obtain a clear, up-to-date view of performance and resilience.

To overcome these limitations, data reliability and traceability must be strengthened.
Ignimission Platform enables organizations to unify information sources, automate consolidation and ensure consistency across controls. It integrates with existing systems (GRC, CMDB, IAM, patch management, backups, SOC, LMS or third-party repositories) and provides a shared framework for tracking actions, deviations and evidence.

When data is missing, it can be collected securely through automated campaigns with reminders and completeness tracking. Integrated workflows allow information to be validated, action plans to be monitored and responsibilities to be clearly assigned.
These mechanisms reduce manual workload, improve indicator reliability and make evidence immediately available to all stakeholders (IT, security, compliance and business teams alike).

Toward measurable, shared compliance

Shifting from declarative compliance to measurable performance management means transforming regulatory data into operational indicators. The goal is no longer to produce reports but to demonstrate the organization’s ability to prevent, detect, respond and recover.

This requires connecting data from multiple domains: asset inventories, identities and access rights, vulnerabilities, backups, continuity plans, third-party management, incidents and security controls.
By cross-referencing these datasets, organizations can identify correlations, detect weak points and prioritize corrective actions.

Compliance then becomes dynamic. Indicators reflect real conditions, are updated automatically and can be continuously analyzed. Teams benefit from shared dashboards built on historical, verifiable and auditable data that can be used by management, business units and auditors alike.

Implementing such governance requires not only technology but also stronger coordination and clear role definition:

• The CIO oversees system performance and availability
• The CISO manages security and vulnerabilities
• Risk and Compliance departments ensure transversal supervision
• Business units validate data and monitor action plans

Automation and traceability support this collective organization. Data is logged, deviations are tracked and remediation plans are monitored through to closure. Reporting is tailored to each profile and based on a single, coherent dataset.
Compliance thus becomes a shared tool for managing both risk and performance.

A progressive approach adapted to each maturity level

The path toward data-driven compliance maturity unfolds in stages:

1. Qualitative, when the organization formalizes its policies, procedures and awareness campaigns
2. Quantitative, when it measures actual control coverage (backups, patches, access reviews, remediation plans, correction timelines)
3. Correlated, when data from different domains is cross-analyzed to produce indicators of efficiency and performance

At this stage, compliance becomes a strategic management tool, enabling organizations to measure the real effectiveness of their controls and their impact on risk mitigation.

Implementing automated compliance follows a controlled, step-by-step evolution. Kyndryl promotes a progressive approach tailored to each organization’s maturity and priorities:

• Map data sources and reference systems
• Define relevant indicators based on regulatory requirements
• Gradually automate data collection
• Ensure full traceability between indicators, deviations and evidence
• Deliver clear and tailored reporting
• Continuously improve process coverage and quality

This method ensures steady progress without operational disruption and delivers tangible benefits from the very first steps.

Concrete indicators to measure compliance

Compliance monitoring relies on consistent, relevant and verifiable indicators.
Among those presented at the INNN event:

• Monitoring the update and enforcement of the Information Security Policy
• Completion rate of security awareness campaigns
• Periodic reviews of access to critical systems
• Cross-checks between application inventory and patch management
• Backup coverage and restoration test success rate
• Average response time to incidents or critical vulnerabilities

These metrics, aligned with DORA and NIS2 requirements, make compliance measurable, track progress and simplify audits.

Real-world applications already in place

Several organizations have already implemented this approach through applications built on Ignimission Platform, each dedicated to a specific process: TPRM (Third-Party Risk Management), ISSP (Information System Security by Design in Projects), BIA (Business Impact Analysis), PAM (Privileged Access Management), DORA and security awareness.

Deployed independently but interconnected, these modules automate data collection, ensure traceability of actions and centralize evidence. Together, they form an integrated GRC ecosystem, offering a consolidated view of IT, cyber, operational, compliance and supplier risks.

Highlights from the INNN event included:

• Allianz France manages its cyber posture and DORA alignment through a centralized portal gathering all security indicators
• CNP Assurances oversees privileged account compliance and automates remediation plan tracking
• Action Logement industrialized its BIA campaigns, cutting processing time by two-thirds and improving data quality

These examples show that a progressive, process-by-process approach enables organizations to build a comprehensive and coherent risk view without disrupting existing systems.

Toward actionable, sustainable compliance

Recent regulations have made compliance a cornerstone of organizational governance. They no longer ask companies simply to be compliant but to prove it continuously, in a traceable and auditable way.

The sustainable path lies in establishing a data-driven vision that unifies information, automates controls and engages all stakeholders.
By addressing compliance process by process, organizations can build an integrated, operationally grounded and scalable GRC model.

The INNN 2025 conference made it clear: well-structured compliance is no longer a constraint, but a driver of performance, trust and resilience.
