// What's Included
What's Included in Our Security Compliance Services
Security compliance is a program, not a project. Our security compliance services cover every phase of the compliance lifecycle: from the initial assessment that tells you where you stand, through the implementation work that closes gaps, to the evidence packages that get you through external audits without last-minute scrambling.
// Scope
Frameworks Our Security Compliance Services Cover
Our security compliance services support the frameworks that enterprise customers, regulators and procurement teams require most. Most organizations start with one or two and expand scope as their security program matures.
SOC 2 Type I & Type II
Trust Services Criteria mapping (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy), control design validation, evidence collection workflows and CPA-firm audit coordination.
PCI DSS Compliance
Cardholder data environment (CDE) scoping, SAQ determination, network segmentation review, ASV scan coordination, requirement-by-requirement gap analysis and QSA-ready evidence packages.
HIPAA Security Rule
Administrative, physical and technical safeguard assessment, ePHI flow mapping, risk analysis per 45 CFR 164.308, Business Associate Agreement (BAA) review and OCR audit readiness preparation.
GDPR & Data Protection
Records of Processing Activities (RoPA), Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA), lawful basis mapping, data subject rights procedures, cross-border transfer mechanisms and DPO advisory support.
NIST CSF & CIS Controls
NIST Cybersecurity Framework profiling (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), CIS Controls implementation group mapping, maturity scoring and cross-framework control harmonization.
// Compliance Areas
Compliance Areas Our Security Compliance Services Address
Each compliance framework targets a different regulatory or contractual requirement, but they share common control domains. Here is how our security compliance services approach each area and the specific outcomes we deliver.
Area 01 / 06
Information Security Management (ISO 27001)
Information Security Management (ISO 27001)
ISO 27001 requires a functioning Information Security Management System: documented risk assessment methodology, Statement of Applicability covering all 93 Annex A controls, treatment plans for identified risks, and evidence that the PDCA cycle is actually operating. Most organizations fail initial certification not because they lack controls, but because the documentation doesn't reflect what's happening in practice. We close that gap by building the ISMS around your existing operations, not around a template.
Key deliverables
ISMS scope document, risk assessment register, Statement of Applicability, control implementation evidence, internal audit report and management review minutes.
Trust Services Criteria (SOC 2)
SOC 2 readiness means mapping your controls to the Trust Services Criteria your report will cover (Security is mandatory; Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity and Privacy are selected based on your service and customer expectations). The challenge is not understanding the criteria; it is building evidence workflows that consistently capture proof of control operation over the review period without creating operational burden. We design collection mechanisms that integrate with the tools your team already uses.
Key deliverables
TSC mapping matrix, control narratives, evidence collection playbook, readiness assessment report and CPA-firm coordination support.
Payment Card Security (PCI DSS)
PCI DSS compliance starts with correctly scoping your cardholder data environment: which systems store, process or transmit cardholder data, and which systems can affect the security of the CDE. Over-scoping wastes resources; under-scoping creates audit findings. We map data flows, validate network segmentation, determine the correct SAQ type or prepare for a full ROC assessment, and work through each of the 12 requirement families with your engineering and operations teams.
Key deliverables
CDE scope document, data flow diagrams, requirement-by-requirement gap analysis, ASV scan coordination and QSA-ready evidence package.
Healthcare Data Protection (HIPAA)
HIPAA's Security Rule requires administrative, physical and technical safeguards for electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). The regulation is principles-based rather than prescriptive, which means organizations must conduct their own risk analysis (per 45 CFR 164.308) and implement controls appropriate to their size, complexity and risk profile. We map ePHI flows across your systems, assess current safeguards against each standard, identify gaps and produce the documentation OCR expects to see if your organization is audited.
Key deliverables
ePHI flow mapping, risk analysis report, safeguard gap assessment, BAA review summary and OCR audit readiness checklist.
Data Privacy & Processing (GDPR)
GDPR compliance is not just a legal exercise. It requires demonstrable accountability: Records of Processing Activities (Article 30), Data Protection Impact Assessments for high-risk processing (Article 35), documented lawful basis for each processing activity, functioning data subject rights procedures, and appropriate transfer mechanisms for data leaving the EEA. We work with your legal and engineering teams to build these into your operational workflows rather than treating them as standalone documents that collect dust after the initial assessment.
Key deliverables
Records of Processing Activities, DPIA reports, lawful basis register, data subject rights procedures and cross-border transfer assessment.
Security Framework Alignment (NIST/CIS)
NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CIS Controls provide structure for organizations that need a security program but do not have a specific regulatory mandate driving the effort. NIST CSF organizes security activities into five functions (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) and CIS Controls provide a prioritized set of implementation actions. We use these frameworks to establish your security baseline, measure maturity over time, and create a common control set that maps across to other frameworks as you take on ISO 27001, SOC 2 or sector-specific requirements.
Key deliverables
NIST CSF profile assessment, CIS Controls implementation mapping, maturity scorecard and cross-framework harmonization matrix.

Discuss your compliance needs// Why CipherTrivia
Why Choose CipherTrivia for Security Compliance Services
A few things set how we run security compliance services apart from a generic consulting engagement.
Security-First, Not Paperwork-First
We build controls that actually protect systems and then document them for the auditor, not the other way around. The result is a security program that works, not just a policy library that passes review.
Cross-Framework Efficiency
We map controls across frameworks from day one. When a single access control policy satisfies ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR simultaneously, you implement it once and evidence it once.
Technical Depth, Not Just Advisory
Our team configures controls, reviews architectures and validates technical implementations directly. You get hands-on engineering support alongside the governance and documentation work.
Audit-Day Confidence
By the time the external auditor arrives, your evidence is organized, your team has been through mock interviews, and every known gap has a documented closure. No surprises on audit day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Security Compliance Services
How long does it take to become ISO 27001 certified?
Timeline depends on your current security posture and organizational size. For organizations starting from a reasonable baseline, the gap analysis through certification-readiness phase typically takes three to six months. The certification audit itself is conducted by an accredited third-party body and adds another four to eight weeks. Organizations with no existing ISMS documentation or controls should plan for six to twelve months end-to-end.
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and SOC 2 Type II?
SOC 2 Type I evaluates the design of your controls at a single point in time: are the right controls in place as of the audit date? SOC 2 Type II evaluates both the design and the operating effectiveness of those controls over a review period, typically six to twelve months. Type II carries more weight with enterprise customers and procurement teams because it demonstrates sustained operation, not just a snapshot.
Can we pursue multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously?
Yes, and in most cases it is more efficient to do so. ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR share significant overlap in areas like access control, incident management, risk assessment and vendor management. We map controls across frameworks from the start so that a single implementation effort satisfies multiple requirements, reducing duplicated work and policy fragmentation.
Do you perform the actual certification audit?
No. Certification audits for ISO 27001 must be conducted by an accredited certification body, and SOC 2 reports must be issued by a licensed CPA firm. Our role is to get you audit-ready: gap analysis, control implementation, policy development, evidence collection and internal audit. We then support you through the external audit process, answering auditor queries and providing supplementary documentation as needed.
What does a typical compliance engagement cost?
Cost varies based on the number of frameworks, organizational scope (number of systems, employees and locations in scope), current maturity level and how much implementation support is needed versus advisory-only guidance. We scope every engagement individually after the initial assessment so pricing reflects your actual situation, not a generic tier. Contact us for a detailed proposal.
