# Compliance and Risk Governance

Enable continuous compliance and risk governance using network-derived visibility that reflects real traffic behavior.

**Aviz Deep Network Observability provides audit-ready evidence across infrastructure and applications, without disrupting existing tools or workflows.**

## Why Compliance Is Hard in Distributed and Regulated Environments

Compliance frameworks were designed for static infrastructure and periodic audits. Today's environments are far more distributed and interconnected:

- Workloads span on-premises, cloud, campus, and edge environments
- Traffic flows dynamically between users, services, APIs, and applications
- Encrypted traffic introduces visibility blind spots
- Telemetry is fragmented across network, security, and application tools
- Evidence collection remains largely manual and audit-driven

### Aviz Deep Network Observability as the Compliance Foundation

Aviz approaches compliance differently.

Instead of treating compliance as a reporting or checklist exercise, Aviz uses Deep Network Observability to provide continuous, verifiable visibility into how traffic, applications, and data actually behave across the environment.

By capturing packets, generating enriched metadata, and correlating network-derived telemetry, Aviz enables organizations to:

- Validate security and segmentation behavior continuously
- Detect policy violations and sensitive data exposure in motion
- Maintain audit-ready evidence without manual data gathering
- Support multiple regulatory frameworks from a single visibility foundation

### Unified Compliance Visibility

Consistent visibility across infrastructure and applications, from core to edge to cloud.

### Shadow AI Risk Visibility

Identify unauthorized AI and LLM service usage across the network to reduce data leakage and compliance risk.

### Packet-Derived Evidence, Not Assumptions

High-fidelity packet intelligence and enriched metadata to validate encryption, segmentation intent, and access behavior.

### AI-Assisted Compliance Workflows

AI-ready telemetry with Network Copilot™ to simplify correlation and accelerate compliance investigations.

## How the Aviz Deep Network Observability Stack Enables Compliance

Each component in the Aviz platform is designed to work independently or as part of an integrated solution, giving you the flexibility to modernize at your own pace.

### Capture & Ingest

Capture traffic across physical networks and hybrid multi-cloud environments to establish a complete compliance visibility baseline.

### Filter & Aggregate

Filter and aggregate traffic using packet brokering software running on multi-vendor hardware, focusing on compliance-relevant data while reducing noise and unnecessary scope.

### Optimize & Enrich

Eliminate duplicate flows and enrich traffic with application identity and flow intelligence using Aviz Service Nodes on standard x86 platforms, with optional DPU acceleration, to support compliance validation.

### Normalize & Distribute

Normalize and distribute enriched telemetry at scale, optionally using the Aviz Elastic Node (ELK), while enabling parallel delivery to existing observability, security, and compliance platforms.

### Visualize & Operate

Centralize traffic visibility and operational context to support ongoing compliance monitoring.

### Correlate & Assist (AI)

Use Network Copilot™ to correlate telemetry across systems, simplifying compliance analysis and investigations.

## Supported Compliance and Risk Frameworks

Aviz helps organizations operationalize technical controls across leading compliance and risk frameworks through deep network visibility, enriched telemetry, and continuous monitoring.

- **PCI DSS**: Segmentation validation, encryption monitoring, and oversight of cardholder data environments
