Security for remote teams and the AI they use
Compliance readiness

Compliance readiness for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA, without a compliance team

A customer asks for your SOC 2 report, an enterprise deal needs ISO 27001, or you handle health data and need to show HIPAA safeguards. Upfortify gets growing teams audit-ready: we set up automated evidence collection, write the policies, close the control gaps and prepare you for the auditor.

Everything in Compliance

Compliance is a sales requirement now

Growing companies rarely pursue compliance for its own sake. It shows up in a security questionnaire, a procurement checklist or a contract clause. Without a report or certificate, deals stall. The good news is that most of what auditors look for is the same good security practice a remote team needs anyway.

Frameworks we prepare you for

Framework Who asks for it What you end up with
SOC 2 (Type I and Type II) US customers, especially for SaaS and service providers An attestation report from an independent CPA firm
ISO/IEC 27001 International and enterprise customers Certification from an accredited certification body
HIPAA Healthcare organizations and their business associates Documented safeguards and risk analysis that meet the Security Rule

What readiness includes

  • Gap assessment. Where you stand today against the framework, with a prioritized plan.
  • Compliance automation setup. A platform connected to your cloud apps, devices and HR system to collect evidence continuously.
  • Policies that fit. Information security, access control, incident response, vendor management and AI use policies, written for how your team really works.
  • Control implementation. MFA, device security, logging, backups and access reviews put in place, often using the services you already run with us.
  • Audit preparation. Readiness checks, evidence review and support during the audit itself.
  • Staying compliant. Ongoing monitoring so controls don’t drift between audits.

How it works

Assess

Gap assessment against your target framework and a realistic timeline.

Build

Policies written, automation connected and missing controls implemented.

Prepare

Readiness review, evidence checks and auditor introductions if you need one.

Maintain

Continuous monitoring and an annual cycle so next year’s audit is routine.

Where AI fits

Auditors and customers increasingly ask how you control AI. An AI governance program, with an acceptable use policy and an inventory of AI tools, now belongs in your compliance evidence. ISO/IEC 42001 adds a dedicated AI management standard for companies that need it. Vendor risk management covers the third-party side every framework expects.

Frequently asked questions

Do you perform the SOC 2 audit?

No. A SOC 2 report must be issued by an independent CPA firm, and ISO 27001 certification by an accredited certification body. We prepare you for the audit: controls, policies, evidence and readiness checks, and we can work alongside your auditor.

What's the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

Type I looks at whether your controls are designed properly at a single point in time. Type II tests whether they actually operated over a period, often several months. Many companies start with Type I and move to Type II.

SOC 2 or ISO 27001: which do we need?

SOC 2 is the common ask from US customers. ISO 27001 is internationally recognized and often requested in Europe. Many controls overlap, so preparing for one gets you a long way toward the other.

What is compliance automation?

Compliance automation platforms connect to your cloud apps, devices and HR tools to collect audit evidence continuously and track control status. They replace spreadsheets and screenshot hunts, and we set them up and run them for you.

Does HIPAA require a certification?

No. There is no official HIPAA certification. Covered entities and business associates must meet the HIPAA Security Rule's safeguards, including a documented risk analysis, and be able to show that they do.
