Chief Operating Officer Cordell Robinson, of Compliance Aid LLC, is preparing to release a cutting-edge application. Centralizing all compliance data, this new tool will bring workflow efficiencies across multiple frameworks. The app version of Compliance Aid will be available this November. It’s aimed at professionals working in compliance and security roles, providing them with a focused, pragmatic tool to help address complicated questionnaires and audits.
Robinson is the CEO of Brownstone Consulting Firm. With more than 25 years experience under his belt, he’s trained people from spear carriers to rock stars in almost every conceivable role. His experiences with these and other industry-related challenges that seemed to persist over the years sparked the idea for creating the Compliance Aid app. He focuses on places that haven’t changed in a decade. His aim is to improve the customer experience through friction reduction, including the process of conducting stakeholder interviews.
“The Compliance Aid app is designed to work with established federal and industrial frameworks,” Robinson stated. “Many compliance and assessment tasks still start with pen and paper or improvised notes, even while organizations adopt AI and other digital tools across broader operations.”
The app is designed specifically for mobile phones and tablets, so users can access important resources at home, on the go, or wherever they need it. Related, Robinson understands that somewhat new professionals in the industry are sometimes put in precarious positions when wrangling stakeholder interviews. In an attempt to address this challenge, he’s providing a solution that brings key eligibility questions and programmatic frameworks right to users’ fingertips.
Many young professionals have no idea what questions to even ask, Robinson explained. “Rather than assume people know what to reference or how to phrase interview questions, the app aims to put those elements at their fingertips.”
The first release will be limited to the most commonly used standards and controls. Robinson intends to add more use cases and learning pathways to the app through ongoing updates. The need is simple — provide cybersecurity professionals with a step-by-step guide for documentation and assessments. They don’t need to spend time combing through resources found all over the place.
“Whether someone’s traveling to a client site or reviewing a system internally, they can walk through what they need in real time,” Robinson added. This level of flexibility gives users the ability to preserve any long-standing protocols of their choosing, but improving their overall efficiency.
The Compliance Aid app is a vital partner to assessors. It strengthens the hands of information systems security officers, security analysts, and risk managers to continue their vital efforts. The app essentially routes the support Robinson used to provide in-person. With a vision to democratize access to these essential compliance tools, their solution empowers professionals at every level to more easily interact with the increasingly complicated landscape of regulatory requirements.
Organizations are still burdened with compliance hurdles today. Bringing the Compliance Aid app into play may be the start of making user-friendly solutions more common in an industry frequently weighed down by cumbersome, legacy approaches. The anticipation around its release underscores a growing demand for innovative tools that can adapt to the evolving landscape of compliance work.
