Our Focus Compliance Frameworks
Every company reaches a point where compliance stops being optional. Whether a prospect is asking for your SOC 2 report, a regulation requires HIPAA safeguards, or a DoD contract demands CMMC certification, the question is the same: where do you start? We build and operate continuous compliance programs across the frameworks that matter most. Our CISSP and CISA-certified vCISOs handle everything from gap analysis to audit day — so your team can stay focused on growth.
SOC 2
The compliance standard enterprise buyers expect. An independent auditor examines your security controls and issues a report that prospects and partners review before signing. Without it, deals stall in security reviews and competitors with a report in hand win instead.
Best for:
SaaS companies, managed service providers, and any company handling customer data.
ISO 27001
The global gold standard for information security. Unlike SOC 2, ISO 27001 is a true pass/fail certification recognized in over 160 countries. For companies expanding internationally, it removes friction in global deals and demonstrates a mature security program
Best for:
Companies with international clients, European operations, or global supply chains.
HIPAA
U.S. federal law that sets standards for protecting patient health information. Enforcement has real teeth — penalties can reach millions of dollars, and a breach destroys trust with healthcare partners overnight.
Best for:
Healthtech startups, SaaS platforms serving healthcare, telehealth providers, and anyone handling PHI.
CMMC
The Department of Defense’s framework for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information across the defense supply chain. Enforcement is rolling into DoD contracts now - contractors without certification risk losing existing work and being locked out of new bids.
Best for:
Prime contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in the defense industrial base.
PCI DSS
The security standard for any organization that accepts, processes, stores, or transmits credit card information. Non-compliance can result in fines from card brands, increased transaction fees, and losing the ability to process payments entirely.
Best for:
E-commerce platforms, payment processors, SaaS companies with billing integrations, and retail businesses.
NIST (CSF / 800-53 / 800-171)
The security foundation that other frameworks are built on. NIST frameworks underpin SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, and more. Building on NIST gives you a foundation that maps to multiple standards — reducing duplicated effort as your compliance requirements grow.
Best for:
Government contractors, organizations pursuing FedRAMP, and companies building a structured security program from scratch.
Not Sure Which Framework You Need?
Match your situation to the framework that matters most right now.
| Your Situation | Start With |
|---|---|
| Selling to enterprise clients? | SOC 2 |
| Global customers or EU market? | ISO 27001 |
| Handling health data (PHI)? | HIPAA |
| DoD or defense supply chain? | CMMC |
| Processing credit card payments? | PCI DSS |
| Building a security foundation? | NIST CSF |
Most companies need more than one. The good news: they overlap significantly, and we build
your program to handle multiple frameworks without duplicating effort.
The Multi-Framework Advantage
Compliance frameworks share more DNA than most people realize. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 overlap by 60–70%. CMMC Level 2 maps directly to NIST 800-171. HIPAA’s security requirements align closely with SOC 2.
We build your compliance program once and map controls across every framework you need. One set of policies. One evidence library. One platform tracking everything. When you add a second or third framework, you’re not starting over — you’re extending what already exists.
