Regulatory Compliance

One assessment covering NIST CSF, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and state privacy laws. Cross-domain credentials mean you pay once, not three times.

Most companies hire one firm for financial controls, another for privacy, and a third when AI governance comes up. Our team covers all three, which means we can map overlapping requirements across frameworks in a single engagement instead of three separate ones.

Why us

One assessment, one report

Most companies end up hiring separate firms for financial compliance, privacy, and AI governance. We have the expertise to assess all three, so you get one engagement that maps overlapping requirements across frameworks, not three separate assessments that don't talk to each other.

AI regulation is already here

State-level AI regulation is accelerating, with new laws passing every legislative session. We track what's passing, what's enforceable, and what it means for your specific business, so you can prepare for the rules that actually apply to you rather than reacting after the fact.

Compliance that increases deal value

$10B+ in capital events advised. We do buy-side tech diligence, so we build compliance programs that address what acquirers actually evaluate.

Frequently asked questions

Can you handle multiple compliance frameworks in one engagement?

Yes. We map overlapping controls across SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and PCI DSS. One assessment, one fee.

Which state AI laws should my company worry about?

Multiple US states have passed or are actively passing AI-specific legislation covering algorithmic discrimination, automated decision-making, and AI disclosure. We track the full landscape and help you determine which laws apply to your business.

How do PE firms standardize compliance across portfolio companies?

$15K-$30K per company for baseline assessment and standardized policy framework. We handle both buy-side diligence and portfolio compliance.

Is compliance-by-design actually possible?

Yes, but it requires a team that does both compliance assessment and software engineering. We build software with controls embedded — we built KL3M with governance baked into the data pipeline.

How much are GDPR fines?
