How to use this guide

Each section below explains a regulation in plain language, tells you what it actually requires, and gives you a checklist to assess your current posture. Expand any drawer for line-by-line guidance.

SOC 2High RiskFor: SaaS founders, startup CTOs

SOC 2 Type II Audit Preparation

SOC 2 is a voluntary framework developed by the AICPA that evaluates how a service organization handles customer data across five Trust Service Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

If you're selling to enterprise customers, they will ask for your SOC 2 report. A Type II report — which covers a 6–12 month observation period — signals that your controls aren't just documented, they're consistently operating. Without it, deals stall in legal review.

Our Methodology

  • 1Gap assessment against all five Trust Service Criteria
  • 2Control design and policy documentation
  • 3Evidence collection playbook (90-day readiness sprint)
  • 4Auditor selection and pre-audit readiness review
  • 5Remediation support during audit window

HIPAA Gap Assessment & Remediation

HIPAA — the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act — establishes national standards for protecting individually identifiable health information (PHI). The Security Rule covers electronic PHI; the Privacy Rule covers all forms.

If your platform touches patient records, claims data, or any information that could identify a patient, you're a Covered Entity or Business Associate. The OCR can issue penalties up to $1.9 million per violation category per year. A gap assessment tells you exactly where you stand before an audit or breach investigation.

Our Methodology

  • 1PHI inventory and data flow mapping across all systems
  • 2Security Rule gap analysis (Administrative, Physical, Technical safeguards)
  • 3Business Associate Agreement audit and remediation
  • 4Risk analysis documentation per §164.308(a)(1)
  • 5Workforce training program design

GDPRMedium RiskFor: CFOs at mid-market companies with EU customers or employees

GDPR Data Mapping & Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation applies to any organization that processes personal data of EU residents — regardless of where the organization is headquartered. Articles 13–14 require transparency; Article 35 requires a DPIA for high-risk processing.

If you have EU customers, run EU advertising, or employ EU-based staff, you're in scope. Fines reach 4% of global annual turnover or €20M — whichever is higher. Most US companies are underprepared because they assume GDPR is a European problem. It isn't.

Our Methodology

  • 1Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) creation
  • 2Lawful basis analysis for each processing activity
  • 3Data subject rights workflow implementation
  • 4Cross-border transfer mechanism review (SCCs, adequacy decisions)
  • 5Data Protection Impact Assessment for high-risk processing

CCPA / CPRA & State Privacy Law Patchwork

The California Consumer Privacy Act (amended by CPRA) grants California residents rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale of their personal information. As of 2026, 19 states have enacted similar frameworks — each with different thresholds, exemptions, and enforcement timelines.

You don't need to be a California company to be subject to CCPA. If you do business with California residents and meet revenue or data volume thresholds, you're covered. Multiply that by 19 states and you have a compliance matrix that changes every legislative session.

Our Methodology

  • 1Multi-state applicability assessment (all 19 active frameworks)
  • 2Consumer rights request infrastructure build
  • 3Data broker registration review (CA, TX, OR, TX)
  • 4Privacy notice and cookie consent audit
  • 5Annual data inventory refresh process design
