Compliance support
Audit-ready all year, not just the week before.
HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC and PCI-DSS all ask for proof that the right controls exist and work. Talos finds the gaps, closes them in order of risk and keeps the paperwork current, so an audit becomes a review instead of a scramble.
The short answer
Talos compliance support gets your IT ready for HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, NIST and PCI-DSS requirements and keeps it that way. We run a gap assessment, fix the riskiest items first, write the policies, monitor controls continuously and keep audit evidence current all year. Talos signs a Business Associate Agreement with healthcare clients. We prepare you for the audit; your auditor issues any attestation.

How it works
How compliance support works
01

04
Monitor and keep evidence
Controls are monitored continuously and the evidence package stays current for your next audit.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No one can, because there is no official HIPAA certification. What we do is help you meet the HIPAA Security Rule's requirements, document how you meet them and keep that evidence current, which is what an auditor or investigator will ask to see.
Yes. Talos signs a BAA with healthcare clients before we handle systems that store or transmit protected health information.
HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, NIST (including the Cybersecurity Framework), PCI-DSS and other industry requirements such as SEC and FINRA expectations for financial firms and TSA pipeline security directives for energy companies.
Yes. We provide the policies, control evidence and reports your auditor asks for, and answer their technical questions. The auditor issues the opinion or attestation; we make sure you are ready for it.
A structured comparison of your current IT controls against a specific framework. You get a list of what is missing or weak, ranked by risk, which becomes the remediation plan.
It should not be. Systems, staff and requirements change, so we monitor controls continuously and keep documentation current year-round rather than rebuilding it before each audit.
