Regscale joins competitive Microsoft Pegasus Program

This development comes hot on the heels of RegScale's achievement of SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) Type II certification.

In a groundbreaking move, RegScale, the Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform, has announced its participation in the prestigious Microsoft Pegasus Program. The program, renowned for its stringent selection process, aims to empower promising technology companies to accelerate innovation by granting them access to cutting-edge AI services, expert guidance, and essential tools to expand their market reach.

This development comes hot on the heels of RegScale’s achievement of SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) Type II certification, a feature that has revolutionized compliance processes by condensing approximately 400 hours of manual labor into less than 25 hours over six months.

Travis Howerton, Co-Founder and CEO of RegScale, expressed his enthusiasm and gratitude for being accepted into the program.

“Joining forces with Microsoft represents a significant milestone for RegScale. Our mission has always been to simplify compliance and risk management for organizations of all sizes. This collaboration validates our unique technical approach and enables us to leverage Microsoft’s vast resources, technologies, and network to advance RegScale’s mission of freeing organizations of manual and burdensome processes,” Howerton said in a press release.

With RegScale, organizations achieve faster certification, proactively anticipate risks, and automate evidence collection, control mapping, and access reviews. Notably, customers have reported up to a 90 percent faster certification process and a substantial 60 percent reduction in audit preparation efforts, underscoring the efficacy of RegScale’s approach in fortifying security programs and reducing costs.

Tom Davis, Partner at Microsoft for Startups, lauded RegScale’s commitment to automating compliance measures and bolstering cybersecurity.

“RegScale’s dedication aligns with our mission to enable organizations to achieve more while maintaining a strong security posture. Their innovative approach can help businesses navigate today’s complicated regulatory landscape,” Davis said in a press release.
