Raeef Bediwi, Founder of CyberHeed, on how the company is simplifying cybersecurity compliance across frameworks.
CyberHeed supports multiple compliance frameworks. How does the platform manage cross-mapping between these standards?
Most organisations do not operate within a single framework. They may need to comply with ISO 27001, NIST, DESC-ISR or UAE IA, and others, often at the same time. Managing overlapping requirements manually can be time-consuming, repetitive and error-prone.
CyberHeed simplifies this process. The platform intelligently identifies overlaps and maps common controls across multiple frameworks. This allows users to work from a single, unified set of actions, knowing their efforts address all relevant standards. It reduces complexity, saves time, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
Can you elaborate on how CyberHeed’s AI-powered reporting enhances audit readiness and continuous compliance monitoring?
Audit time should not feel like a crisis. With CyberHeed, it does not. The platform helps you stay audit ready and provides real-time insights into where you stand. The data points that our platform continuously collects over time, allows us to harness modern AI capabilities to help generate accurate, context-rich reports on demand. These reports highlight gaps, strengths, and progress over time, giving teams and executives the clarity they need, to derive actionable insights with a click of a button
Who are the primary users of CyberHeed’s platform, and how do their needs differ?
Large enterprises often face the challenge of complying with multiple frameworks and regulatory requirements. In contrast, small and medium-sized businesses are typically focused on having a clear, straightforward security roadmap to strengthen their defenses and prevent serious breaches.
CyberHeed’s platform is designed to serve both groups effectively, and being built with oversight at its core, it also caters to regulators, equipping them with the visibility and tools they need to fulfill their mandate without the need for large expert teams.
With the increasing complexity of cybersecurity regulations globally, how does CyberHeed stay ahead in providing up-to-date compliance solutions?
Staying ahead means staying connected to how those frameworks are interpreted and enforced. CyberHeed platform is designed to be flexible and adaptive. New standards and amendments are incorporated in time. The platform is not static. It evolves continuously based on feedback and real-world needs.
On top of our own research and updates, our platform was strategically designed to cater for regulators and service providers, allowing them to “self-serve” by “Bringing their own” regulations while benefiting from the intelligence of unified workflows.
What are the most common misconceptions businesses have about cybersecurity compliance, and how does CyberHeed address them?
One common misconception is that compliance is a once-a-year painful exercise.. Another is that it is purely a technical responsibility. In reality, compliance is an ongoing process that requires coordination across people, processes, and technology. It should be built in from the outset, not addressed after the fact.
CyberHeed helps change this perception. By providing organisations with a starting point, a security roadmap, visibility, guidance, and automation, it makes compliance a continuous journey that fits into day-to-day operations.
The same applies to regulators, where auditing and enforcing regulations across many entities proactively seems impossible with the lack of human resources, CyberHeed is here to advocate Regulation at scale and help make it a reality.
