Compliance programs are built, not bought.

I've been the person who inherited a compliance mandate with no map. I stood up an IT-security governance program against NIST SP 800-53 while the same systems processed CUI and PHI: three rulebooks, one budget, and no honest crosswalk between them.

I learned the hard way that reconciling frameworks pairwise is a treadmill, and that the fix is architectural: one control spine, every regime mapped onto it once. Applied Oversight applies that lesson to AI law, the messiest compliance problem in years. Every obligation we track is verified against the statute or final regulation it comes from, because in this field, confidently wrong is the default setting and we refuse to ship it.
