Cybersecurity
Compliance.
Compliance without the chaos. Documentation that auditors actually accept.
Regulatory requirements keep growing. HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, PCI DSS. You need the right controls, the right policies, and the documentation to prove it. We make compliance manageable instead of overwhelming.

Frameworks We Support
From healthcare to defense contractors, we help you meet the requirements that matter to your business.
HIPAA
Healthcare data protection. Risk assessments, security controls, and audit-ready documentation.
CMMC
Defense contractor cybersecurity. Level 1 through Level 3 readiness for DoD contracts.
SOC 2
Service organization controls. Trust Services Criteria for technology and SaaS companies.
PCI DSS
Payment card security. Protect cardholder data and meet merchant requirements.
The Compliance Challenge
Why compliance feels impossible without the right approach.
The Audit Panic
The audit notice arrives. You have 30 days. Now begins the scramble to find documentation that should exist but doesn't, prove controls are in place, and hope nobody asks about that policy you meant to update two years ago.
The Spreadsheet Nightmare
Your compliance program lives in spreadsheets, Word documents, and shared drives. Nobody knows which version is current. Evidence is scattered across email threads. Finding anything takes hours.
The Knowledge Gap
You know HIPAA applies to you. But what exactly does it require? Which controls are mandatory? What counts as sufficient documentation? You're not a compliance expert, and consultants charge $300 an hour.
The Multi-Framework Maze
Your healthcare client requires HIPAA. Your financial client wants SOC 2. Now you're managing two separate compliance programs with overlapping controls documented differently.

Questions About Compliance
We know you have questions and we have answers.
-
How much does compliance management cost?
For most SMBs, GRC platform licensing runs $300-800 per month depending on the framework and features needed. HIPAA-specific programs are often on the lower end. Full compliance programs including assessments, policy development, and ongoing management typically run $500-2,000 per month depending on scope. Compare that to HIPAA fines starting at $50,000 per violation or the cost of losing contracts that require compliance certification. We'll provide a specific quote based on your situation.
-
What's the difference between compliance and security?
Security is what you do. Compliance is proving you did it. You can be secure without being compliant (no documentation), and unfortunately, you can be compliant without being secure (checking boxes without real protection). The goal is both: real security controls that are also properly documented to meet regulatory requirements. We implement security that satisfies compliance, not compliance theater that looks good on paper.
-
How long does it take to become compliant?
It depends on your starting point and the framework. HIPAA compliance for a small practice with decent existing security can often be achieved in 60-90 days. SOC 2 typically takes 6-12 months for initial certification. CMMC depends on the level. The AI-powered assessments we use can identify gaps in hours rather than weeks, dramatically accelerating the process. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the initial assessment.
-
Do we really need formal compliance?
It depends on your industry and clients. Healthcare? HIPAA is mandatory. Defense contracts? CMMC is required. Many cyber insurance policies now require specific controls and documentation. Enterprise clients increasingly require SOC 2 from vendors. Even without regulatory requirements, the controls required for compliance are generally just good security practice. The documentation proves it.
-
What if we fail an audit?
First, audits typically result in findings, not pass/fail verdicts. Findings give you time to remediate. The key is having a plan and timeline for addressing issues. With continuous compliance monitoring, you know about problems before auditors find them. If something does come up during an audit, we help you remediate quickly and document the fix. Most auditors want to see you taking compliance seriously, not perfection.
-
Can you help with multiple frameworks?
Yes. Many controls overlap between frameworks. A well-designed access control policy can satisfy HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI DSS requirements simultaneously. Our GRC platforms map controls across frameworks, so you implement once and satisfy many. If you need HIPAA for healthcare clients and SOC 2 for enterprise clients, we build one program that covers both.
Ready to Get Compliant?
Stop scrambling before audits. Stop worrying about regulatory risk. Get a compliance program that works, with documentation that proves it.
