What is continuous product assurance?
Continuous product assurance is the practice of keeping security and compliance evidence current for a specific software product, release, and deployment. Instead of rebuilding proof for each questionnaire or audit, teams maintain source-backed evidence that reflects the product's current posture.
How is Kapsura different from Vanta or Drata?
Vanta and Drata help companies automate compliance programs, collect evidence, and prepare for audits across an organization. Kapsura focuses on product- and release-scoped continuous assurance, so teams can show current proof for the specific software systems, deployments, and customer-facing changes under review.
What is Kapsura different from a GRC platform like ServiceNow or Archer?
GRC platforms such as ServiceNow and Archer are designed for broad governance, risk, compliance workflows, policy management, and enterprise reporting. Kapsura is narrower: it connects product systems to source-backed evidence so software teams can prove the assurance state of a product or release without turning every request into a manual evidence project.
What compliance frameworks does Kapsura support?
Kapsura's current MVP scope supports HIPAA Security Rule and SOC 2 Common Criteria controls only. Other frameworks such as GDPR and ISO 27001 should be treated as roadmap items, not currently shipped support.
How does Kapsura collect evidence?
Kapsura collects evidence through read-only connections to the systems a product team already uses. The current connector scope includes GitHub, AWS, and Microsoft Entra ID, with evidence tied back to controls for the product or release being assessed.
Is Kapsura a certification body or auditor?
No. Kapsura is not a certification body, CPA firm, or independent auditor. It helps teams collect, maintain, and share current evidence, but formal certification or audit opinions must come from a qualified external auditor or assessment body.
