Compliance doesn't end at the audit. Neither do we.
Because we manage your infrastructure, we don't just identify what's broken — we fix it. SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 managed as a continuous operational layer, not an annual project.
Automated evidence collection, continuous control monitoring, and auditor liaison — included.
Before your auditor arrives
Are your compliance controls monitored continuously, or tested once a year when audit season starts?
Is your compliance evidence collected automatically, or assembled manually in the weeks before review?
Are your policies current, version-controlled, and mapped to your active compliance controls?
Do you know which vendors access your data and whether their security practices meet your framework?
What We Deliver
Four managed components. One continuous compliance operation.
Each component handles a distinct layer of compliance operations — together they keep controls active, evidence current, and your organization audit-ready at all times.
Continuous Control Monitoring
Automated tests verify that controls stay active across your managed stack — cloud, identity, endpoints, and firewall. If a configuration drifts out of compliance, an alert fires before an auditor ever sees it.
Continuous verification that controls remain active and correctly configured
Drift alerts fire immediately when a control falls out of compliance
Real-time compliance score across all active frameworks
Evidence collected automatically as a byproduct of normal operations
Automated Evidence Locker
Logs, configurations, training records, and control screenshots are collected continuously and organized into a timestamped, auditor-ready package. No September scramble.
Logs and configuration exports pulled automatically from your managed stack
Evidence timestamped and organized by control and framework requirement
Training completion records and employee acknowledgments tracked
Auditor-ready package assembled before the review begins — not during it
Policy & Procedure Library
A curated library of framework-aligned policies customized to your actual business workflows. Version-controlled, annually reviewed, and mapped to your active controls.
30+ policies covering access control, incident response, change management, and more
Customized to your environment — not generic templates handed over unchanged
Employee security awareness training with completion tracking and annual certification
Version control and annual review cycle maintained as part of ongoing service
Vendor Risk Management
Automated distribution and scoring of vendor security questionnaires. Your compliance posture is only as strong as the vendors you share data with.
Security questionnaires distributed to vendors automatically on schedule
Responses scored against your active framework requirements
Vendor risk register maintained and updated continuously
BAA tracking and subservice organization documentation for HIPAA engagements
The Path to Audit-Ready
Five phases from gap analysis to continuous operations.
Every phase has a defined deliverable before the next begins. No ambiguity about where you stand or what comes next.
Gap Analysis
Framework selection, automated first scan, and gap report identifying missing or misconfigured controls across your environment. Prioritized remediation roadmap with timelines and ownership.
Deliverable
Gap Analysis Report
Technical Remediation
Zent engineers implement the fixes — MFA enforcement, encryption, logging, access controls, network segmentation. Because we manage your infrastructure, we do the work. Not a to-do list.
Deliverable
Implemented Controls + Evidence
Policy Alignment
Business policies finalized and customized to your workflows. Employee security awareness training activated with completion tracking. Documentation mapped to active controls.
Deliverable
Complete Policy Library
Mock Audit
Full dry-run against the active framework. Every evidence item validated for completeness and defensibility before the auditor arrives. Gaps remediated before the clock starts.
Deliverable
Pre-Audit Readiness Report
Audit Liaison
Auditor given controlled access to the evidence platform. We answer technical questions and retrieve proof on your behalf. Post-audit, continuous monitoring keeps you ready for the next cycle.
Deliverable
Audit Completion + Continuous Programme
Frameworks We Support
Three frameworks. One managed compliance operation.
Each framework has distinct audit requirements, evidence standards, and observation timelines. We manage the differences so you don't have to.
SOC 2
Type I & Type IISaaS platforms and cloud service providers
Service Organization Control reporting for organizations handling customer data. Enterprise procurement teams block contracts without it.
Security, Availability, and Confidentiality Trust Services Criteria
Type I — point-in-time assessment: 3–4 months
Type II — 6–12 month continuous observation period
Automated evidence collection across your entire managed stack
HIPAA
Security & Privacy RulesHealthcare organizations and business associates
Applies to any organization creating, receiving, maintaining, or transmitting protected health information — from day one, regardless of size.
Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards fully implemented
Security Risk Analysis (SRA) documentation — required by HHS
Business Associate Agreement (BAA) templates and vendor tracking
Breach notification procedures and OCR audit readiness
ISO 27001
2022 EditionOrganizations pursuing international certification
The global standard for Information Security Management Systems. Required for enterprise supply chains, government contracts, and international expansion.
ISMS framework design and all 93 Annex A controls
Stage 1 (documentation review) and Stage 2 (on-site assessment) support
Annual surveillance audit management in Years 2 and 3
Recertification planning at the three-year mark
PCI-DSS available. Contact us for scoping — cardholder data environment assessment and SAQ support delivered on request.
Who This Is For
Compliance requirements don't wait for headcount.
The trigger is your business situation — a framework obligation, a customer requirement, or a market you're trying to enter.
SaaS platforms pursuing enterprise contracts
Enterprise procurement teams block deals without a SOC 2 report. Three to five figures of ARR stalled at the security review stage while competitors with reports close.
We run the observation period, manage the evidence continuously, and deliver the Type II report that removes the procurement blocker. SOC 2 becomes a sales asset, not a delayed project.
Healthcare organizations handling ePHI
HIPAA applies from the first patient record — regardless of headcount. A covered entity client requests documented safeguards and evidence of an annual risk assessment that doesn't exist.
We implement the technical safeguards, run the Security Risk Analysis, track BAAs, and maintain the documentation required for an OCR audit. Compliance is operational from day one, not assembled before a review.
Companies seeking ISO 27001 certification
International enterprise customers, government supply chain requirements, or EMEA expansion demand ISO 27001 certification as a condition of doing business.
We design the ISMS, implement the 93 Annex A controls, manage the certification audit, and handle annual surveillance audits in Years 2 and 3. Certification maintained, not just achieved.
Financial services firms managing client data
GLBA requires a written information security program. Cyber insurance renewals increasingly require documented controls, annual risk assessments, and evidence of continuous monitoring.
We implement the technical safeguards, maintain the documentation, and produce the evidence that satisfies both regulatory obligations and insurance underwriter requirements — year-round.
Not yet ready for a full CaaS retainer? Our Compliance Readiness Assessment scopes your framework obligations and produces a remediation roadmap — a natural first step before ongoing management.
Business Outcomes
What actually changes when compliance is managed.
Operational realities from how the service is designed to function — not marketing claims.
SOC 2 report
The certification that closes enterprise deals
Enterprise procurement teams require it before signing. We manage the observation period, the evidence, and the auditor relationship — you get the report that removes the blocker.
Year-round
Audit-ready, not just audit-season ready
Continuous control monitoring means your compliance posture reflects today's infrastructure — not a snapshot from six months ago when the last audit concluded.
One team
Gap identified. Fix implemented.
Because we already manage your infrastructure, there is no handoff between finding a gap and resolving it. The fix goes in and the proof goes into the evidence locker — without a separate engagement.
How It Connects
Your managed services already produce compliance evidence.
Each service feeds the compliance layer automatically — evidence is collected as a byproduct of operations already running, not assembled on request.
Managed AI SOC
Security event logs, audit trails, and incident records feed compliance evidence continuously — satisfying SOC 2 CC7 and HIPAA audit control requirements without additional collection effort.
Endpoint Security
Device encryption status, MDM enrollment records, and patch compliance baselines satisfy SOC 2 CC6, HIPAA technical safeguards, and ISO 27001 A.8 technological controls.
Managed Firewall Services
Firewall rule sets, VPN access logs, and network segmentation documentation satisfy perimeter control requirements across SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 frameworks.
Ongoing Service Cadence
Compliance isn't a project. This is what ongoing looks like.
Three operating rhythms keep your compliance programme current between audit cycles — not just at the start of one.
