HIPAA, GDPR & SOC 2
Compliance Made Simple
Data privacy regulations are complex, but non-compliance isn't an option. Whether you're a healthcare startup handling PHI, a SaaS platform processing EU customer data, or a service organization preparing for your first SOC 2 audit — we guide you from gap analysis to full certification with zero guesswork.
Why Data Privacy Compliance Matters
Compliance isn't just about avoiding fines — it's a competitive advantage that builds customer trust and opens doors to enterprise contracts.
Customer Trust
87% of consumers say they won't do business with a company if they have concerns about its security practices.
Enterprise Sales
Most enterprise security questionnaires require proof of SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR compliance to proceed.
Legal Protection
Documented compliance programs provide legal defensibility in the event of a breach or regulatory investigation.
Market Differentiation
Compliance certifications set you apart from competitors who can't demonstrate the same level of data protection.
Compliance Framework Expertise
Deep specialization across the three most demanded data privacy and security frameworks.
HIPAA Compliance
For healthcare providers, health tech startups, and business associates handling Protected Health Information (PHI). We implement the full spectrum of HIPAA requirements — administrative safeguards, physical controls, and technical measures — ensuring your organization meets both the Privacy Rule and the Security Rule. Our team has guided clinics, telehealth platforms, and medical SaaS companies through successful HIPAA compliance programs.
- Risk analysis & management plan
- Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)
- PHI/ePHI encryption & access controls
- Workforce security training program
GDPR Readiness
For any business that collects, processes, or stores data of EU citizens — regardless of where you're headquartered. We implement compliant consent management, cookie policies, Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) workflows, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), and establish the foundational records of processing activities. We also provide virtual DPO services for companies that need one but aren't ready to hire full-time.
- Consent management implementation
- DSAR automation & response procedures
- Data Protection Impact Assessments
- Virtual DPO as a Service
SOC 2 Type I & Type II
For SaaS companies, cloud service providers, and any service organization that handles customer data. We prepare you for the AICPA audit by implementing controls across the Trust Services Criteria — Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Our structured approach typically gets clients audit-ready in 8-12 weeks for Type I, and we support the observation period through to Type II certification.
- Trust Services Criteria gap analysis
- Control design & implementation
- Evidence collection automation
- Auditor liaison & readiness review
PCI DSS Compliance
For e-commerce platforms, payment processors, and any business that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. We help you achieve and maintain PCI DSS compliance through network segmentation, encryption implementation, vulnerability management, and access control policies that meet the Payment Card Industry requirements.
- Cardholder data environment scoping
- Network segmentation & encryption
- Quarterly vulnerability scanning
- SAQ preparation & QSA coordination
Privacy Program Development
Beyond individual frameworks, we help you build a sustainable privacy program that scales with your business. This includes data mapping, records of processing activities, privacy notices, vendor risk assessments, and incident response plans. One program that satisfies multiple regulatory requirements simultaneously.
- Data inventory & classification
- Privacy policy & notice creation
- Vendor risk management program
- Data breach response planning
Ongoing Compliance Management
Compliance isn't a one-time project — it's an ongoing commitment. We provide continuous monitoring, annual re-assessments, policy updates as regulations evolve, and employee training programs. Our managed compliance service keeps you audit-ready year-round without the overhead of a full internal compliance team.
- Quarterly compliance reviews
- Regulatory change monitoring
- Employee security awareness training
- Annual re-certification support

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about data privacy compliance and our consulting process.
How long does it take to become SOC 2 compliant?
For a SOC 2 Type I report, the typical timeline is 8-12 weeks from kickoff to audit readiness, depending on your current security posture. A Type II report requires an additional 3-12 month observation period where your controls must be demonstrated as consistently operational. Our structured approach and automated evidence collection tools help minimize this timeline.
Do we need HIPAA compliance if we're a technology vendor, not a healthcare provider?
Yes, if you handle Protected Health Information (PHI) on behalf of a healthcare provider, you're classified as a Business Associate under HIPAA and must comply with the same security and privacy requirements. This applies to cloud hosting providers, EHR vendors, billing services, and any technology company that stores, processes, or transmits PHI.
Does GDPR apply to companies outside the EU?
Yes. GDPR has extraterritorial scope, meaning it applies to any organization worldwide that processes personal data of EU residents — regardless of where the company is located. If you have EU customers, EU website visitors, or EU employees, GDPR compliance is required. Penalties can be imposed even on non-EU companies.
Can we work toward multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously?
Absolutely — and we recommend it. There's significant overlap between frameworks (roughly 60-70% of controls between SOC 2 and ISO 27001, for example). We design unified compliance programs that map controls to multiple standards simultaneously, reducing the total effort and cost compared to pursuing each one independently.
What does a free compliance assessment include?
Our complimentary assessment is a 60-minute consultation where we review your current data handling practices, identify which frameworks apply to your business, outline the key gaps, and provide a high-level roadmap with effort estimates. You'll receive a written summary within 3 business days with our prioritized recommendations.
