Key Takeaways

  • AI-powered continuous compliance monitoring replaces annual audits with real-time visibility, catching compliance drift within hours instead of months.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which compliance framework do I need?
It depends on your industry and data types. Healthcare organizations handling PHI need HIPAA. Defense contractors with CUI need CMMC. Payment processors need PCI DSS. Publicly traded companies need SOX. Many organizations need multiple frameworks. We offer a free compliance mapping assessment to identify your specific requirements.
How much does compliance management cost?
Initial compliance assessments start at $10,000. Ongoing compliance management ranges from $3,000 to $15,000 per month depending on scope and number of frameworks. This typically costs 50-70% less than hiring a full-time compliance officer and is far less than penalty costs.
Can you help us pass an audit?
Yes. We prepare organizations for audits by implementing controls, documenting evidence, conducting mock audits, and providing support during the actual assessment. Our clients have maintained a 100% pass rate across HIPAA, CMMC, and PCI DSS assessments since 2019.
What is continuous compliance monitoring?
Instead of checking compliance annually, AI continuously validates that controls remain in place. Configuration changes, access modifications, and policy updates are monitored in real time. When compliance drift occurs, alerts and remediation guidance are generated automatically.
Do you handle the technical remediation too?
Yes. Unlike pure compliance consulting firms, Petronella has a full technical team that implements the actual security controls: encryption, access management, logging, network segmentation, endpoint protection, and more. We do not just write policies; we implement and validate them.
