Bitdefender Unifies Security and Compliance with GravityZone Compliance Manager

Compliance Officer Enforces Regulatory Standards and Policies Through Innovative Virtual Interface on Laptop

Bitdefender has expanded its GravityZone platform with a new module, GravityZone Compliance Manager, designed to streamline regulatory compliance while maintaining strong endpoint protection. As organizations face growing pressure from regulations such as GDPR, DORA, NIS2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, Bitdefender offers a unified approach that connects security telemetry, risk analytics, and compliance reporting in a single console.

The release comes at a time when many businesses are stuck between general governance tools that offer documentation but little technical depth, and siloed security tools that lack regulatory context.

“We see the current market divided into two main categories,” said Raphaël Peyret, Director of Product Management, Cloud Security at Bitdefender. “On one side are GRC-focused solutions that emphasize compliance processes but lack deep integration with security telemetry. On the other are tactical tools that assess technical controls without helping organizations map those results back to regulatory requirements. GravityZone Compliance Manager bridges that gap.”

From Endpoint Telemetry to Compliance Outcomes

The key differentiator for GravityZone Compliance Manager lies in its ability to tie compliance scoring directly to real-time endpoint data and threat analytics. Bitdefender’s platform already includes advanced security and risk tools like Proactive Hardening and Attack Surface Reduction (PHASR), which automatically identify and mitigate unnecessary risks. These insights now feed directly into compliance metrics, so as organizations reduce exposure, their compliance posture improves automatically.

“GravityZone Compliance Manager translates actionable security data into compliance outcomes,” Peyret explained. “As risks are resolved, compliance status updates in real time. This streamlines operations, eliminates redundant workflows, and improves an organization’s overall security and regulatory standing.”

Automated, Audit-Ready Reporting and Framework Support

GravityZone Compliance Manager delivers audit-ready reports in seconds. These reports include a compliance score, detailed summaries for auditors, and a breakdown of high, medium, and low risks. Because it's integrated with Bitdefender’s existing platform, organizations can generate this documentation without additional tools or manual evidence collection.

The platform includes built-in support for global and industry-specific regulations, such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, CISv8, CMMC 2.0, and more. With one-click drill-downs and remediation guidance, users can see how individual assets and controls affect compliance across multiple frameworks.

High Demand in Regulated and Underserved Markets

Demand is growing fastest in highly regulated sectors such as financial services—particularly in the EU after DORA enforcement, along with healthcare and public sector organizations. But Peyret noted that the strongest unmet need may actually lie in the mid-market.

“Mid-sized companies are often caught in the middle,” he said. “They’re facing increasing pressure but lack the internal resources or tools to manage compliance effectively. GravityZone Compliance Manager is built to deliver value at that scale.”

Bitdefender is addressing these demands through localized enablement efforts and partner engagement. “Our go-to-market strategy is centered around close collaboration with customers and partners,” Peyret added. “This has led to industry-specific demos, content, and training to address real-world compliance challenges.”

Enabling MSSPs with Compliance-as-a-Service

For MSSPs tasked with managing multiple client environments, each with varying regulatory obligations, Bitdefender’s GravityZone Compliance Manager introduces a way to streamline and scale compliance operations. Built into Bitdefender’s existing multi-tenant platform, it allows providers to centralize compliance oversight, automate reporting, and standardize services across accounts without adding complexity.

“It gives MSSPs the opportunity to offer compliance-as-a-service, alongside their existing cybersecurity offerings. By packaging compliance as a recurring managed service, providers can tap into additional budget holders, such as GRC teams, who may not typically engage with traditional security solutions," says Peyret.

This approach not only enhances operational efficiency by reducing tool sprawl and manual effort, but also helps MSSPs drive new revenue streams and demonstrate sustained value to clients beyond traditional endpoint protection.
