Compliance & Risk Advisory

Compliance frameworks are valuable maps, not destinations. We help you build security programs that pass audits because they're genuinely effective — and pass them faster, with less drama, than going it alone.

[ 01 ] What you get

Outcomes, not just findings.

Pass audits the first time

Most clients pass their first SOC 2 Type 2 or ISO 27001 audit without findings — because the program is designed for the audit, not retrofitted to it.

Right-sized controls

We help you implement the controls that genuinely reduce risk for your business, not the maximum theoretical set. Less drag on engineering, same audit outcome.

Audit-ready evidence

Documented controls, evidence-collection workflows, and policies — packaged the way auditors actually want to see them.

Cross-framework efficiency

Single control set mapped to multiple frameworks (SOC 2 + ISO + HIPAA) — write once, comply many times.

[ 02 ] What's included

A complete compliance & risk advisory engagement.

/ 01

Readiness Assessment

Gap analysis against your target framework — written report with prioritized roadmap, cost estimates, and timeline to certification.

/ 02

Policy & Procedure Drafting

Information security policies tailored to your business — not generic templates. Acceptable use, access control, incident response, BCP, vendor management.

Control Implementation Support

Hands-on engineering help to implement the technical controls — logging, monitoring, encryption, access reviews — so your team isn't doing it alone.

[ 05 ] FAQ

Common questions.

How long does SOC 2 or ISO 27001 typically take?

SOC 2 Type 1: 3–4 months from kickoff to report. SOC 2 Type 2: 9–12 months (includes the 6-month observation window). ISO 27001: 6–9 months. We give you a written timeline with milestones at kickoff.

Do you do the audit, or just prepare for it?

We don't audit — that would be a conflict of interest. We prepare you for the audit and recommend qualified independent auditors. We've worked alongside firms like A-LIGN, Schellman, Coalfire, BDO, and many regional auditors.

What's the typical cost?

Highly variable based on company size, scope, and existing maturity. SOC 2 readiness for a 50-person SaaS company typically runs $40–80k for advisory plus $25–45k for the audit itself. We give a written estimate after a free 30-minute scoping call.

Can we map one program to multiple frameworks?

Yes — and you should. Most controls overlap significantly across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. We design control sets that satisfy multiple frameworks with one set of evidence, dramatically reducing duplicate work.
