Bitdefender Debuts Compliance Tool With Endpoint Security

Bitdefender

GravityZone Compliance Manager Reduces the Cost and Complexity of Regulatory Compliance Requirements Across All Environments and Industries

Bitdefender, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, unveiled GravityZone Compliance Manager, a powerful new extension to its GravityZone platform. Purpose-built to support organizations navigating today’s ever-evolving regulatory environment, this solution streamlines compliance efforts through real-time monitoring, automated remediation, and audit-ready reporting all seamlessly integrated with Bitdefender’s endpoint security and risk analytics ecosystem.

“GravityZone Compliance Manager performed well for us during early access. The continuous monitoring and assessment feature reduced our reliance on manual scans, saving valuable time. Because it’s integrated into our existing security stack, we’ve avoided the additional cost and complexity of using external tools. It has simplified our operations by eliminating the need for multiple point solutions,” stated Alin Paunescu, chief information security officer at Patria Bank.

As compliance requirements grow more stringent with frameworks like GDPR, PCI DSS, DORA, and the NIS 2 Directive increasing both complexity and potential penalties—businesses can no longer rely on siloed tools or manual processes. Gartner research emphasizes the importance of unified, continuous, and automated compliance strategies: “Combine compliance and risk management effectively by prioritizing the implementation of impact-based assessments and automated, continuous monitoring capabilities.”

Failing to comply can result in steep penalties, including fines reaching €20 million or 4% of global revenue under GDPR, and $100,000 per month under PCI DSS—alongside serious reputational harm.

GravityZone Compliance Manager addresses these challenges by integrating compliance capabilities directly within the GravityZone platform, which already provides robust security, risk assessment, and analytics. It empowers businesses to manage regulatory requirements with ease, without requiring extensive in-house expertise.

Key Features and Benefits:

Instant Audit-Ready Reporting: Quickly generate compliance reports aligned with auditor expectations using data already collected within Bitdefender tools. Reports include an executive summary, compliance scoring, risk categorization, and detailed evidence, all formatted to ease auditor review.

Unified Platform for Compliance, Risk, and Security: Building on Bitdefender’s integrated approach, GravityZone Compliance Manager brings compliance management together with existing capabilities such as prevention, detection, response, and risk analytics. When combined with Bitdefender’s Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction (PHASR) tools, organizations can reduce attack surfaces and maintain up-to-date compliance automatically as risks are addressed.

Comprehensive Framework Support: The platform offers built-in support for a broad range of international and industry-specific standards. This includes GDPR, HIPAA, DORA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CISv8, NIS 2 Directive, CMMC 2.0, and more. Organizations can quickly pinpoint and close compliance gaps, access detailed reports, and drill into specific control requirements with ease.

“The consequences of non-compliance, including financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational damage, rival those of a data breach or ransomware attack, yet most businesses lack the resources or specialized talent needed to manage compliance with confidence,” said Andrei Florescu, president and general manager of Bitdefender Business Solutions Group. “GravityZone Compliance Manager is a game-changer that consolidates compliance, risk management, and endpoint security on a single platform, enabling businesses to meet regulatory demands effortlessly and reduce complexity to strengthen cyber resilience.”
