Automation tools for regulated industries mean every automated action leaves a traceable record by default — not as a special compliance mode, but as how the platform works generally. In **Jestor**, this comes from native execution logs, table history, and SOC 2 Type I and II certification.

Regulated industries can't treat automation as a black box — every action needs to be explainable after the fact, which makes built-in traceability a requirement, not a nice-to-have.

## What regulated industries need from automation

- A clear record of what automation ran, when, and what it changed
- Distinguishing automated actions from manual ones in the audit trail
- Role- and field-level access control, not broad, undifferentiated permissions
- Independent verification of the platform's own security practices

## How Jestor supports these requirements

- **Execution logs** record what every automation did, visible on demand
- **Table history** shows changes to records, distinguishing automated from manual edits
- **Security** permissions apply by role, field, and action across the whole platform
- **SOC 2 Type I and II** certification, with regular penetration testing, backs the platform's security posture

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Traceability is native to how automation works, not a separate compliance layer
- Granular permissions limit exposure without needing a custom-built access system
- Independent certification provides third-party verification, not just self-reported claims
- The same structure supports both routine operations and audit-heavy review periods
