Compliance Advisory

Navigate regulatory requirements without losing your engineering velocity.

We help teams understand what their compliance frameworks actually require — technically — and build programs that satisfy auditors without creating organizational paralysis.

Compliance is not a destination — it's an ongoing program that intersects with how your team builds and operates software. We translate regulatory requirements into engineering work, help you prioritize the controls that matter, and produce the documentation evidence that auditors and regulatory reviewers expect to see.

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act sets the baseline for protecting electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). For any organization that handles patient data — providers, payers, health tech companies, and their business associates — HIPAA compliance is both a legal requirement and a patient trust obligation.

We help organizations understand and implement the Administrative, Physical, and Technical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule, and prepare for OCR audits or business associate agreements.

Talk to Us About HIPAA

Risk Analysis & Management

Formal risk analysis of ePHI across your systems, with documented risk management plans aligned to HIPAA requirements.

Technical Safeguards

Access control implementation, audit logging, encryption requirements, and automatic logoff — mapped to your specific technology stack.

Incident Response

Breach notification procedures, incident response plan development, and documentation requirements for HIPAA breach reporting.

BAA Readiness

Technical control verification to support Business Associate Agreements with covered entities, including evidence documentation.

FDA Medical Device Security

The FDA's 2023 cybersecurity guidance and Section 524B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act significantly raised the bar for connected medical devices. Manufacturers submitting 510(k), De Novo, or PMA applications must now provide comprehensive cybersecurity documentation demonstrating a Secure Product Development Lifecycle.

We have direct experience supporting medical device manufacturers with pre-market and post-market cybersecurity requirements — including devices with embedded firmware, wireless communication interfaces, and cloud connectivity.

Discuss Your Submission

Cybersecurity Risk Management

Documentation aligned with ISO 14971 — threat modeling, attack surface analysis, risk controls, and residual risk acceptance.

SBOM Generation & Review

Software Bill of Materials creation, third-party component vulnerability tracking, and update mechanism security review.

Secure SDLC Evaluation

Review and documentation of your secure development lifecycle against FDA expectations — from design controls through post-market surveillance.

Pre-Market Penetration Testing

Penetration testing and vulnerability assessment aligned to FDA pre-market submission requirements, with findings documentation suitable for regulatory review.

Wireless Interface Security

Security assessment of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and BLE interfaces with documentation of safeguards against unauthorized access, replay, and spoofing attacks.

Post-Market Monitoring

Ongoing vulnerability monitoring, coordinated disclosure program support, and post-market cybersecurity update documentation for regulatory compliance.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework

The NIST CSF provides a risk-based approach to managing cybersecurity that works for organizations of any size. Its five core functions — Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover — create a structured foundation for building and maturing a cybersecurity program.

We help organizations perform NIST CSF assessments, identify gaps relative to their target profile, and build prioritized roadmaps for improving their cybersecurity posture. NIST CSF alignment is also frequently referenced in FDA medical device guidance and other regulatory contexts.

Start a NIST Assessment

Identify

Asset inventory, data flow mapping, risk assessment, and governance — building a clear picture of your cybersecurity landscape.

Protect

Access control, data security, training, maintenance, and protective technology — implementing controls to limit the impact of a cybersecurity event.

Detect

Continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, and detection process implementation — identifying cybersecurity events in a timely manner.

Respond

Response planning, communications, analysis, mitigation, and improvement — containing the impact of detected cybersecurity events.

Recover

Recovery planning, improvements, and communications — restoring capabilities and services impaired by a cybersecurity incident.

Maturity Assessment

Current state vs. target profile gap analysis, with a prioritized roadmap for closing gaps based on your risk tolerance and budget.

SOC 2 Readiness

SOC 2 Type II is increasingly a requirement for enterprise sales — and a meaningful security certification for B2B SaaS companies. The path to SOC 2 is not just a documentation exercise; it requires your team to implement and demonstrate operating effectiveness of security controls over time.

We help engineering and security teams prepare for SOC 2 audits by identifying control gaps, building the technical evidence required by auditors, and ensuring your monitoring and logging capabilities meet the continuous oversight expectations of Type II certification.

Begin SOC 2 Readiness
  • Trust Services Criteria gap assessment — Security, Availability, Confidentiality
  • Control implementation guidance for CC6, CC7, and CC8 categories
  • Logging and monitoring program design to satisfy auditor evidence requirements
  • Vendor and third-party risk management program development
  • Security policy and procedure documentation
  • Penetration testing and vulnerability management to satisfy CC7.1
  • Readiness assessment and pre-audit mock review

PCI DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard applies to any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. PCI DSS v4.0 places new emphasis on customized security approaches, increased continuous monitoring requirements, and stronger authentication controls.

We help organizations understand their cardholder data environment (CDE) scope, implement the technical controls required by PCI DSS, and prepare for QSA assessments — with particular focus on network security, vulnerability management, and logging requirements where our tooling and expertise are directly applicable.

Discuss PCI DSS Readiness
  • Cardholder data environment scoping and network segmentation review
  • Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing (Requirements 11.3, 11.4)
  • Log management and monitoring program (Requirement 10)
  • Access control and multi-factor authentication review (Requirements 7, 8)
  • Secure development lifecycle review (Requirement 6)
  • SAQ guidance and QSA assessment preparation support
