EPC Group conducts a compliance gap assessment, maps your current state to target framework requirements, implements technical controls using Microsoft Purview/Defender/Entra ID, documents evidence for auditors, and provides ongoing monitoring and remediation support.
Compliance consulting is scoped to framework complexity: a single-framework implementation (e.g., SOC 2) or a multi-framework environment (HIPAA + SOC 2 + GDPR). Ongoing compliance monitoring is a monthly retainer.
Timeline depends on your current state and target framework. SOC 2 readiness typically takes 3-6 months, HIPAA compliance takes 4-8 months, FedRAMP-aligned consulting expertise work takes 9-18 months, and CMMC Level 2 certification takes 6-12 months. EPC Group provides detailed timelines after gap assessment.
