Input question

We are learning how AI platforms (Vanta, Drata, Delve) automate GRC, replacing manual toil with **"Systems of Action."** Key use cases include **autonomous evidence collection**, vendor risk reviews, and real-time code scanning. This proactive approach eliminates **"compliance debt."** Crucially, the sources clarify that while AI enables **"audit readiness"** in days, official certifications like **SOC 2 Type 2** still require months of observation to prove effectiveness.
