OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 19, 2025--

Archer®, a global leader in enterprise compliance and risk management software, today announced new continuous controls monitoring (CCM) capabilities for Archer Evolv™ portfolio. The addition of CCM enhances Archer Evolv Compliance and Archer Evolv Risk by automating the validation of IT controls across cloud, identity, and enterprise systems, helping organizations maintain compliance assurance in near real time.

For many organizations, control testing remains a periodic, manual process that creates blind spots between audits and delays certification cycles. Archer Continuous Controls Monitoring closes this gap by continuously verifying control configurations, detecting drift, and automating evidence collection across critical IT environments. The result is continuous oversight of control performance that feeds directly into Archer dashboards and analytics, giving leaders a defensible, current view of control health and overall risk exposure.

“The complexity of today’s IT and regulatory environments demands continuous assurance,” said Jeff Longoria, Chief Commercial Officer for Archer. “Archer Continuous Controls Monitoring gives organizations the visibility and automation needed to keep pace with evolving risks and compliance requirements. By integrating these capabilities with Archer Evolv, companies can move from reactive control testing to proactive, data-driven compliance management.”

Built on a secure, cloud-native architecture, Archer Continuous Controls Monitoring connects via approved, read-only integrations with cloud platforms, identity management systems, directory services, and IT infrastructure. It automatically compares configuration and access data against controls requirements in frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, and SOX ITGC and alerts teams when controls drift out of alignment or evidence is missing.

Key capabilities include:

• Automated control validation: Continuous testing across IT, identity, and cloud systems
• Drift detection: Near real-time identification of control gaps and missing evidence
• Evidence automation: Collection and routing of audit data without manual effort
• Streamlined user access reviews: Discovery of orphan accounts and automated review workflows
• Integrated risk visibility: Live control results feed directly into Archer Evolv analytics

The Archer Evolv portfolio brings together a unified suite of AI-powered solutions designed to modernize how organizations manage compliance, risk, and strategic decision-making. The portfolio includes Archer Evolv Compliance for regulatory management, Archer Evolv Risk for integrated and quantifiable risk oversight, and Archer Evolv Intelligence for forward-looking scenario modeling. These leading-edge solutions provide a connected, cloud-native ecosystem that unifies data, analytics, and automation, empowering enterprises to anticipate change, act decisively, and maintain resilience in an increasingly dynamic risk and regulatory environment.
