RegScale Wins CyberSecurity Breakthrough Award for Third Consecutive Year

AI-powered continuous controls monitoring platform named “Compliance Software Solution Provider of the Year” in 2026 awards program

TYSONS CORNER, Va., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RegScale, the AI-powered continuous controls monitoring (CCM) platform, has been named as “Compliance Software Solution Provider of the Year” in the 10^th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards, marking the company’s third consecutive win in the category. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry.

Built on a Compliance as Code foundation, RegScale enables organizations to automate compliance, continuously validate security controls, and embed governance into everyday security and engineering workflows. The need for this approach is growing as compliance demands continue to strain existing resources and processes. According to RegScale’s 2026 State of Continuous Controls Monitoring Report, 88% of organizations spend at least 500 person-hours annually on evidence collection, 72% juggle six or more different compliance frameworks, and 31% still perform framework mapping manually. As software delivery accelerates and regulatory complexity continues to increase, that operating model is no longer sustainable.

“Organizations need to continuously validate that their controls are working and have the evidence to prove it as technology and regulatory requirements evolve,” said Travis Howerton, co-founder and CEO of RegScale. “That shift is turning continuous assurance into a foundational cybersecurity capability rather than a niche GRC function. We’re grateful for the continued recognition as we modernize compliance and build true operational resilience for highly-regulated enterprises.”

RegScale supports SaaS, on-premises, air-gapped, and hybrid environments across the U.S. federal government, financial services, energy, and other highly regulated industries. The platform continues to expand through its OSCAL-native architecture and AI-powered automation. With RegML, RegScale's proprietary AI engine, organizations can continuously monitor controls, automate evidence collection, and trigger remediation with minimal human intervention. The platform also makes it simple for companies to connect their security, DevOps, and ITIL stack.

For a decade, the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards have recognized breakthrough solutions and organizations advancing the global cybersecurity industry. The 2026 program received thousands of nominations from companies in more than 20 countries, with this year’s winners representing the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology and innovation.

“RegScale is redefining GRC and security with its automated solutions. Security teams have automated nearly all security operations, from vulnerability management to threat detection and response. However, GRC has remained largely manual by relying on periodic audits, spreadsheet-driven processes, and point-in-time assessments,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “RegScale is at the forefront of legacy and modern GRC transformation, bringing the same level of automation and operational visibility to compliance that organizations already expect across the rest of their security programs.”
