Security and compliance is one of the biggest operational burdens in regulated industries. It's also one of the slowest areas for AI adoption. According to our latest survey, more than 40% of organizations still aren't using AI for this function. That's significant because security and compliance is mandatory. It creates substantial operational overhead, and it's exactly where AI can help through security scanning, policy enforcement, audit trail generation, and compliance verification. The challenge isn't a lack of tools. It's governance. Many organizations are trying to deploy AI without the foundations that regulated environments require: audit trails for AI-assisted decisions, data residency controls, and clear accountability. Deploying AI without those controls creates risk. Not deploying it leaves efficiency gains on the table. The organizations making real progress are taking a different approach. They build governance first and deploy AI within that framework. The result isn't just greater efficiency. They create an auditable, governed AI capability that competitors can't easily replicate. When governance comes first, the constraint becomes a moat. If you're working through this challenge in a regulated industry, our new report outlines the governance framework we use with customers.
