Cybersecurity Audits Are Broken—Here’s What Comes Next

Audora CEO Chris Watson Joins Hive Live to Talk the Future of Cybersecurity Auditing

For most security and compliance leaders, audits are still stuck in the past—spread across spreadsheets, outdated checklists, and endless back-and-forth. The result? A process that drains resources, delays progress, and delivers limited value.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In a recent episode of Hive Live, our CEO Chris Watson sat down with Alex Nette, CEO of Hive Systems, to explore what’s really holding audits back—and how smart automation, AI, and better integration are reshaping what’s possible.

From Reactive to Repeatable

Audits have traditionally been reactive: long, infrequent cycles that force teams to scramble for evidence and hope nothing slips through the cracks. But as the threat landscape evolves and regulatory expectations increase, this model simply doesn’t scale.

What’s needed now is a new approach—one that transforms audits into a repeatable, integrated process that adds value instead of creating noise.

What You’ll Learn in the Episode

This conversation goes deep into:

·         Why traditional audits are failing modern teams

·         How automation eliminates friction and saves time

·         Where AI fits into audit accuracy and scale

·         What the future of compliance looks like  —realistically

Whether you're an auditor navigating tight deadlines, a CISO trying to stay ahead of shifting regulations, or a compliance lead stuck in manual processes, this episode breaks down why audits are overdue for a reset—and how leading teams are rethinking the process from the ground up to create a smarter, more scalable future.
