Meet your compliance obligations — continuously
Hakware maps your live security posture against the frameworks your organisation is required to comply with — giving you evidence-ready compliance reporting at any time.
General Data Protection Regulation
The GDPR requires organisations to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data. While vulnerability scanning is not explicitly mandated, organisations must demonstrate they are identifying and addressing security weaknesses that could lead to a personal data breach.
How Hakware helps:
- Continuous vulnerability scanning demonstrates due diligence
- Data breach risk identification and prioritised remediation
- Compliance evidence collection and reporting
- DLP integration to monitor personal data handling
- Incident response playbooks for breach notification scenarios
Protection of Personal Information Act
South Africa's POPI Act requires responsible parties to secure the integrity and confidentiality of personal information by taking appropriate, reasonable technical and organisational measures to prevent loss, damage, or unauthorised destruction. Like GDPR, it mandates a proactive security posture.
How Hakware helps:
- Technical security controls monitoring and evidencing
- Access governance for personal information systems
- Data movement monitoring via DLP Manager
- Incident response and breach documentation
- Compliance posture reporting for Information Officers
ISO/IEC 27001 — Information Security Management
ISO 27001 is the world's best-known standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It requires organisations to establish a comprehensive approach to managing information security risks through people, processes, and technology — with regular vulnerability assessments as a core requirement.
How Hakware helps:
- Live ISO 27001 Annex A compliance dashboard
- Continuous vulnerability identification (required control)
- Asset inventory management via Scout and Host Manager
- Audit-ready evidence reports with a single click
- Risk treatment tracking through Vulnerability Manager
PCI DSS — Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
PCI DSS explicitly includes vulnerability scanning in its list of requirements for organisations that process, store, or transmit payment card data. Requirement 11 mandates regular testing of security systems and processes, including internal and external vulnerability scanning.
How Hakware helps:
- Continuous internal and external vulnerability scanning
- Quarterly scan compliance evidence documentation
- Penetration testing support via Archangel
- Network segmentation testing and monitoring
- PCI DSS compliance posture dashboard
Live compliance dashboards built in
