# Cortex Compliance

## Cortex Compliance

Meeting regulatory compliance requirements is a vital aspect of contemporary business operations.

Cortex XSIAM provides content packs with dashboards and report templates. Use them to monitor compliance requirements and support audits.

These dashboards and reports aggregate and reference data mapped to the Cortex Data Model (XDM).

### Compliance dashboards and reports

Cortex XSIAM includes pre-built content packs for several regulatory frameworks. Use them to monitor adherence and generate audit-ready evidence.

### Start here

* [Open the security compliance report](https://panservicedesk.service-now.com/esp?id=contract_request\&sys_id=f53d00d61b01ac506b7d0e1dcd4bcb45) to review mapped XDM data and collect audit evidence.
* [Review technical certifications](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/legal-notices/trust-center/tech-certs) to confirm current trust center and certification details.
* [Browse compliance content packs](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/) to extend coverage for specific frameworks.

{% hint style="info" %}
Content packs help map detections and data to compliance frameworks. They do not replace your internal compliance review.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/compliance/cortex-compliance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
