This is the first part of our series of blog posts illustrating the challenges that organizations and cloud providers face when trying to achieve continuous compliance. The series will provide the key concepts, technologies, and industry standards that lead the way toward an operational, scalable, and effective end-to-end solution.

We will start by introducing the compliance personas and their roles and actions in the compliance processes. Understanding the personas, their roles, and needs is key to the design and architectural decisions for the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) automation detailed in our follow-up blog posts.
