Audits and compliance readiness built around the control, not the certificate
Compliance work goes wrong when the goal becomes the certificate rather than the control. We work against the control, and the paperwork follows from that.
Frameworks we work against
SOC 2 technical readiness, HIPAA IT safeguards for practices handling protected health information, PCI-aware configuration for anyone touching card data, and general IT audits and gap assessments for companies that need a documented picture of where they stand.
What a readiness engagement produces
A gap assessment against the framework you are targeting, a remediation plan with fixed prices and a realistic order, and support pulling together the evidence an auditor will ask for, so the audit itself is a formality rather than a scramble.
We do not issue the certification ourselves
A SOC 2 attestation is issued by a licensed CPA firm, and a PCI attestation follows its own process; we do the technical readiness work that makes either of those go smoothly, and we say so plainly rather than implying we can shortcut it.
What's included
Specific deliverables, not a vague promise to "handle IT."
- A gap assessment against the specific framework you're targeting: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, or a general IT audit
- Control-by-control documentation of current state versus required state
- A remediation plan with fixed prices, sequenced against an audit deadline if one exists
- Evidence collection support: policies, access logs, change records, and the reviews an auditor will actually ask for
- Policy templates adapted to your real environment rather than generic boilerplate that doesn't match what you do
- An optional ongoing evidence maintenance service, so evidence doesn't go stale between audit cycles
How this engagement works
Framework and scope confirmed
Which framework, which systems are in scope, and what deadline (if any) you're working against.
Gap assessment
Current controls checked against what the framework actually requires, not a generic checklist.
Remediation plan and evidence prep
Fixed prices, sequenced by priority and deadline.
Audit support
We prepare the evidence and readiness; the licensed body (CPA firm for SOC 2, QSA for PCI) issues the actual attestation.
Questions about audits & compliance
Can you issue our SOC 2 report yourselves?
No. A licensed CPA firm issues the attestation. We do the technical readiness work that gets you there without surprises.
We've never done this before. Where do we start?
The gap assessment. It tells you exactly where you stand before you commit to a timeline or an auditor.
What if we fail the audit?
The gap assessment exists specifically to catch that risk before you're in front of an auditor, not after.
Can you support more than one framework at once?
Yes; SOC 2 and HIPAA controls overlap substantially, and it's common to work against both in one engagement.
