Compliance Built Into Architecture
Compliance shouldn't be a last-minute scramble. We help you build systems that are designed for HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, and SOC 2 from the start - so when audit time comes, you're ready.
Compliance Frameworks
We help clients build systems that support major regulatory compliance standards. Each framework requires specific controls and documentation.
HIPAA
Healthcare
We help healthcare providers and developers build systems that support HIPAA compliance. BAA agreements, encrypted patient data, role-based access controls, comprehensive audit logging.
Key Requirements:
- Patient Data Protection
- Access Controls
- Audit Trails
- Encryption
- Breach Notification
PCI DSS
Payment Processing
For fintech platforms and payment processors. We build systems that help clients meet PCI DSS standards. Tokenized payments, encrypted storage, secure transaction processing, compliance-ready infrastructure.
Key Requirements:
- Secure Networks
- Data Encryption
- Access Control
- Vulnerability Management
- Monitoring
GDPR
Data Privacy (EU)
Systems designed with privacy-by-design for EU clients. User consent management, data subject rights implementation, transparent data handling, data residency options.
Key Requirements:
- User Consent
- Data Rights
- Privacy by Design
- Data Residency
- DPA Support
SOC 2
Service Organization Control
Our architecture follows SOC 2 Type II principles. Secure access controls, comprehensive audit trails, encryption by default, incident response procedures, regular assessments.
Key Requirements:
- Security Controls
- Availability
- Integrity
- Confidentiality
- Privacy
Building for Compliance
From assessment through ongoing compliance, we follow a structured approach to help you meet and maintain regulatory requirements.
Discovery & Assessment
Understand your regulatory requirements and current compliance gaps. Assess where security and compliance controls need to be strengthened.
Architecture Design
Design systems with compliance in mind from day one. Build encryption, access controls, audit logging, and monitoring into the architecture.
Implementation
Develop features and controls that satisfy compliance requirements. Implement data protection, audit trails, access management, and incident response.
Testing & Validation
Security testing, penetration testing, compliance auditing. Validate that systems actually meet compliance requirements.
Documentation
Create comprehensive documentation for audit and certification. Policies, procedures, architecture diagrams, control evidence.
Ongoing Compliance
Monitor compliance posture, manage regulatory changes, conduct regular assessments. Compliance is ongoing, not a one-time achievement.
Compliance Features
The controls we build in from day one - so compliance isn't an afterthought.
Data Classification
We help you classify data by sensitivity level and apply the right controls to each tier - so sensitive data gets the protection it needs.
Access Management
Role-based access, least-privilege principles, and multi-factor authentication. We make sure only the right people can access the right things.
Audit Logging
Detailed audit trails that track who did what, when, and from where. When auditors come knocking, you'll have the evidence ready.
Encryption Standards
TLS 1.3 for data in transit, AES-256 for data at rest, with proper key management and rotation built into the system.
Data Residency
Need data stored in a specific region? We help you set up EU-only, US-only, or multi-region storage based on your compliance needs.
Incident Response
We build documented procedures for detection, containment, and notification - and help your team practice them before they're needed.
We Help You Stay Compliant
Beyond building compliant systems, we support you through audits, certifications, and ongoing compliance management.
Compliance Documentation
We help create documentation needed for compliance audits and certifications. Architecture diagrams, control evidence, policies, procedures.
Third-Party Audits
Support for external auditors and compliance assessments. Provide access, documentation, and explanation of controls.
BAA & Data Processing Agreements
We execute Business Associate Agreements (BAA) for HIPAA, Data Processing Agreements (DPA) for GDPR, and other required agreements.
Regulatory Updates
Stay informed of regulatory changes. We update systems and processes to maintain compliance as regulations evolve.
Compliance Training
Team training on compliance requirements, secure coding practices, and data handling procedures.
Security Assessments
Regular security assessments and penetration testing. Vulnerability management and remediation tracking.
Compliance Questions
Get answers to common questions about regulatory compliance and how we can help.
Do you have HIPAA/PCI/GDPR/SOC 2 certifications?
We don't hold these certifications ourselves - but we help our clients get there. We build systems following OWASP, SOC 2 Type II principles, and industry best practices. The goal is that when your auditor shows up, your systems are ready.
How do you approach HIPAA compliance?
We build healthcare systems with HIPAA in mind from the start - encrypted patient data, role-based access, audit logging, secure communications. We're happy to sign BAAs and we'll support you through the audit process. That said, compliance is a shared responsibility between us, your team, and your cloud provider.
How do you handle PCI DSS requirements?
We never store raw card data - that's non-negotiable. We use tokenization, encrypt everything in transit and at rest, and implement the access controls and monitoring PCI DSS calls for. We work with established payment processors and help you document everything for your PCI audit.
How do you support GDPR compliance?
For EU-facing projects, we build privacy into the architecture - consent management, data subject rights (access, deletion, portability), and EU-only storage options when needed. We also handle Data Processing Agreements. The specifics depend on what your project collects and how it's used.
Can you help with compliance audits?
Absolutely. We've supported clients through audits across healthcare, fintech, and other regulated industries. We help prepare documentation, maintain audit logs, and work with third-party assessors to make the process as smooth as possible.
What compliance documentation do you provide?
Architecture docs, control evidence, audit logs, policies, security assessment results - whatever your audit requires. For HIPAA we sign BAAs, for GDPR we do Data Processing Agreements. Everything is organized so it's ready when auditors need it.
