Controls checked on your schedule.
Connect your stack once. TruOps checks each control on its own cadence and records a live, timestamped, cited status, and it tells you when a tool and a questionnaire disagree.
| Control | Source | Cadence | Last check | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MFA enforced for all users | Entra ID | hourly | 06:00 | passing |
| Critical vulns patched ≤ 15 days | Tenable | daily | 03:30 | 47 of 50 servers |
| Branch protection on main | GitHub | weekly | Mon 03:30 | passing |
| Disk encryption on endpoints | Intune | daily | 03:30 | passing |
| Quarterly access review | Questionnaire | quarterly | 97 days ago | stale → review |
Continuous control monitoring in TruOps checks each control against your connected tools on a cadence you set: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or on demand. Each result is timestamped and linked to the check that produced it. When evidence goes stale, the control's status drops instead of staying green, and when a tool and a questionnaire answer disagree, the conflict is flagged for review.
- Controls are green because nobody has tested them since the audit
- You have AWS, Okta, CrowdStrike, Tenable, GitHub and GRC does not read them
- A questionnaire says implemented and the tool says failing
- Cadences
- Hourly · daily · weekly · monthly · quarterly · on demand
- Connected tools
- Cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, code
- Evidence
- Timestamped, cited, stored with each result
The actual challenge
Monitoring that only covers a SOC 2 control library, or a SIEM that never updates the register, is not CCM. CCM is a timestamped check on each control's cadence, with stale evidence lowering status.
- The current tool starts empty, or only works for one framework.
- Evidence, vendors, and risk do not share a record.
- AI, if it exists, suggests; it does not do the work with sources.
What you are probably using today
This module is usually replacing a folder, a suite module, or a point tool, not a blank page.
| What you use now | Where it breaks | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 automation tools | They are strong at certification: automated tests, a broad framework library, and often a trust center. Maturity scoring, custom frameworks, and deep risk or vendor work can sit outside that model. | Keep the automation. Run any framework as the anchor, map the rest with partials shown as partial, and run vendor and risk on the same engine. Upload the policies and reports you already have. |
| SIEM, VM, and cloud security tools in parallel | They know. The control record does not. | Read-only connectors write results into the control, with the payload stored. |
| Manual tests on a quarterly calendar | The test is a screenshot. Drift between tests is invisible. | Hourly to quarterly per control. Status drops when evidence goes stale. |

Your stack testifies
TruOps connects to the tools that already know whether a control is working, and reads their status rather than asking someone to take a screenshot. Connectors in the platform today include:
| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
| Cloud | Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud |
| Identity | Microsoft Entra ID, Okta |
| Endpoint | Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike |
| Vulnerability | Tenable, Qualys |
| Code | GitHub, Azure DevOps |
Beyond these, TruOps offers an API, webhooks, and MCP. Customer requests set the order we build new connectors.
One status, two sources
A questionnaire answer and an integration check often describe the same control. TruOps resolves both to one status per requirement, using explicit rules:
- Precedence. An automated check generally outranks a self-attested answer for the same requirement.
- Freshness. A result inside the control's cadence beats a stale answer; past the window, status drops rather than silently persisting.
- Conflict. When an answer says "implemented" and a tool says "failing," TruOps raises a discrepancy for review. It never overwrites either one.
- Provenance. Every status keeps its source, evidence, and confidence, so any number can be defended.
From a check to a finding
When a control starts failing, TruOps re-opens it and, if an assessment covers it, re-opens the related finding instead of creating a new one. Because findings are grouped by control and failure, one misconfiguration across many assets becomes one finding with a list of affected scopes.
How TruOps helps
- Per-control cadence
- Set how often each control is checked; organization defaults with per-control overrides.
- Stale evidence flagged
- Status drops when evidence ages past its window.
- Discrepancy review
- Tool results and questionnaire answers that disagree go to a person.
- Scan history
- See every check run for a control and what it found.
- Counts everywhere
- One passing check counts toward every framework requirement it satisfies.
- Read-only by design
- Connectors observe your stack; they do not change it.
Questions
What is continuous control monitoring?
Continuous control monitoring (CCM) is the automated, recurring testing of controls against the systems they govern, so control status reflects today rather than the last audit. See What is continuous control monitoring?
How often does TruOps check controls?
As often as you choose per control: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or on demand.
Which integrations does TruOps support?
Control evidence: Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Entra ID, Okta, Intune, Defender, CrowdStrike, Tenable, Qualys, GitHub, and Azure DevOps. 800+ more apps connect for people, tickets, and documents. API, webhooks, and MCP cover tools that are not listed. See Integrations.
What happens if a tool and a questionnaire disagree?
TruOps flags the discrepancy for a person to review. It never silently overwrites either source.
Do we have to rip out the tools we already use?
No. Connectors are read-only: they observe cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, and code tools; they do not change them. Spreadsheets, prior reports, and policies upload into the Data Room. If you are on a SOC 2 automation tool or an enterprise GRC suite, you migrate the program (frameworks, evidence, vendors, risks), not the business.
Can we bring our existing assessments, control lists, and vendor files?
Yes. Upload workbooks, reports, policies, and vendor exports. TruOps turns them into structured questionnaires, controls, and register entries, each cited back to the file they came from, for you to review.
