Multiple Compliance Requirements Shouldn’t Mean Multiple Consulting Engagements

If you’re managing HIPAA, SOC2 Type II, and CMMC at the same time, we consolidate the control work into a single program — eliminating the overlap and reducing total cost.

Who This Is For

This Service Is For Organizations That:

One Program, Multiple Certifications

We map the overlapping controls across your required frameworks, implement once, and generate the documentation and evidence each framework requires. You don’t pay for the same control work three times.

HIPAA · WHAT WE’VE SEEN IN THE FIELD

We Don’t Just Consult on HIPAA. We Present on It.

At the Kansas Medical Group Management Association (KMGMA) conference, we presented on the new HIPAA regulations and what the recent requirement changes mean for healthcare organizations in practice. No filler. No scare tactics. Just a straight answer to three questions: what changed, how it affects you, and what you should be planning for.
The response from attendees told us something we already believed: healthcare organizations don’t need more complexity thrown at them. They need someone who can cut through the regulatory language and tell them what actually matters for their operation. That’s how we approach every HIPAA engagement — the same way we approached that room.
If you’re a healthcare organization trying to make sense of the recent HIPAA updates — or understand how they interact with other compliance obligations you carry — that’s exactly the kind of conversation we’re set up to have.

What Is a Multi-Framework Engagement?

Most regulated organisations need to satisfy more than one framework — SOC2 for customers, HIPAA for healthcare data, and NIST SP 800-171 for federal contracts. A multi-framework engagement maps the overlap once, builds shared controls, and produces a single evidence pack that satisfies all three audit programmes.

Why this engagement matters

Eliminates Duplicate Work

Shared controls and evidence are built once and reused across every framework.

Lower Total Cost

One engagement is materially cheaper than running three sequential compliance projects.

Faster Audit Readiness

A unified roadmap means one timeline to manage instead of three competing ones.

Consistent Security Posture

The same controls protect customer, patient and DoD data — no policy drift between programmes.

How this engagement runs

01

Map

Identify overlap between SOC2, HIPAA and NIST controls.

02

Design

Author shared policies and a unified control library.

03

Implement

Roll out technical controls and evidence pipelines.

04

Audit

Prepare and support audits for each framework in turn.

What you receive

Unified Control Library Mapped to SOC2, HIPAA and NIST

Combined Policy & Procedure Set

Risk Assessment & Business Associate Agreements (HIPAA)

SOC2 Type II Evidence Pack

Audit Coordination & Support

Proof from a real engagement

Healthcare · DoD Supplier

SOC2 Type II + HIPAA in One Engagement

A healthcare supplier serving DoD customers needed both SOC2 Type II and HIPAA attestation within a single fiscal year. AZM ran the engagement as a single programme — both audits passed on the first attempt.

Common Questions

Yes — there is substantial overlap. Doing them together avoids rebuilding the same controls three times and produces a more consistent security posture.
It depends on contractual deadlines. We start with whichever framework has the nearest audit or sales deadline and let the others ride on the shared controls.
We prepare and support every audit. The SOC2 audit itself is performed by an independent CPA firm — we coordinate the engagement with them.
