Automating cybersecurity certification could reduce the effort required for smaller organizations to demonstrate security compliance, potentially helping them compete for contracts that demand recognized credentials. It may also change how auditors and certification bodies work, depending on adoption and trust in automated checks. Customers and partners might gain broader assurance if more organizations can certify efficiently, while possible over-reliance on automation may warrant scrutiny.
