Assess Compliance ReadinessFrequently Asked Questions
What compliance frameworks does EPC Group support?
EPC Group supports HIPAA (healthcare), SOC 2 Type II (financial services), FedRAMP Moderate/High (government), CMMC Level 2 (defense), GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), FERPA (education), FINRA (financial), and the EU AI Act. Our compliance implementations are built on the Microsoft compliance toolkit.
How does compliance consulting work with EPC Group?
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.
How much does compliance consulting cost?
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.
How long does it take to achieve compliance?
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.
