Compliance Shouldn't Keep You Up at Night

We handle HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, SOC 2, CMMC, ITAR, and more so you can focus on your business.

Schedule a Meeting

Regulatory compliance is mandatory, not optional — and the cost of failure extends beyond fines to lost contracts, breached trust, and operational disruption. We provide end-to-end compliance management across HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, SOC 2, CMMC, PCI-DSS, and ITAR, tailored to regulated industries in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and beyond. Our process begins with a thorough risk assessment, moves through gap remediation and policy development, and continues with ongoing monitoring that catches drift before it becomes a violation. Whether you're preparing for a first audit or maintaining an established compliance program, we serve as your dedicated compliance partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which compliance frameworks does Katalism support?

We support HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, SOC 2 Type I and II, CMMC 2.0, PCI-DSS, ITAR, NIST CSF, and NIST AI RMF. Our team stays current with evolving regulatory guidance across all frameworks we manage, so you're never caught off guard by a rule change.

How long does a compliance program take to implement?

Timeline depends on your starting posture and the framework involved. A HIPAA compliance program for a small practice typically takes 60–90 days to establish foundational controls and documentation. CMMC Level 2 and SOC 2 Type II engagements generally require 6–12 months of preparation due to evidence maturity requirements.

What is a compliance risk assessment and why is it required?

A risk assessment identifies, quantifies, and prioritizes the threats and vulnerabilities that could affect your regulated data or systems. HIPAA explicitly requires a documented risk assessment under the Security Rule, and most other frameworks — FTC Safeguards, CMMC, SOC 2 — treat it as a foundational control. Skipping it is both a compliance gap and a liability.

Can you help us pass a compliance audit we're already facing?

Yes. We regularly engage with organizations that have an imminent audit or examination on the calendar. We prioritize the highest-risk gaps first, complete documentation and evidence packages quickly, and prepare your staff and leadership for auditor interviews and requests.

Do we need a separate compliance consultant if we already have managed IT?

Not with Katalism. Our managed IT services are built around compliance from the start, meaning your IT support, security controls, and compliance documentation are managed as a unified program. This eliminates the gaps that typically appear when compliance and IT are handled by separate vendors.

What happens if a compliance gap is found during an assessment?

We document every gap with a risk rating, regulatory citation, and a concrete remediation step. Gaps are organized into a prioritized action plan so you address the highest-risk items first. We then implement remediation alongside your team and verify each item before closing it out.
