Why Compliance Fails: It’s Your Foundation, Not Your Tool

Compliance tools are powerful, but they are only reporting what your infrastructure is (or is not) doing. Audits are passed on evidence, and evidence is created by secure, auditable cloud architecture. We provide the expertise to build that secure foundation first, ensuring your ongoing compliance efforts succeed.

“We don’t just check boxes; we re-architect your AWS controls to meet the highest security criteria.”

Most companies discover too late that their compliance platform can track controls, but it cannot fix foundational security gaps. Infrastructure vulnerabilities—improper IAM configurations, unencrypted data stores, missing audit trails—become blockers that delay certification by months. We eliminate these risks before they become problems.

Optimized for Speed: The InfraHouse & Vanta Partnership Model

For companies using Vanta (or planning to use it), we offer a unique service that accelerates your timeline and reduces engineering effort.

Our Three-Phase Approach

Phase 1: Readiness Assessment

We use your Vanta dashboard (or similar tool) as a starting point, prioritizing the highest-risk infrastructure controls flagged in your AWS environment.

What We Deliver:

• Comprehensive gap analysis against SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria and ISO 27001 Annex A controls
• Risk-prioritized remediation roadmap
• Timeline and effort estimation for full compliance readiness

Phase 2: Architectural Remediation

We deploy Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) blueprints to fix core issues:

• Segregation of Duties (IAM): Principle of least privilege, role-based access control, MFA enforcement
• Network Hardening: VPC isolation, security group hardening, private subnet architecture
• Logging & Monitoring: CloudTrail configuration, GuardDuty enablement, Security Hub integration
• Data Protection: Encryption at rest and in transit, KMS key management, backup automation
• Change Management: Automated deployment pipelines with approval gates and audit trails

This is the core deliverable that transforms your compliance posture from reactive to proactive.

Phase 3: Continuous Monitoring Setup

We hand over an environment where all major infrastructure controls are automated, ensuring your Vanta dashboard stays consistently green, eliminating last-minute audit scrambles.

What You Get:

• Automated evidence collection workflows
• Real-time compliance monitoring dashboards
• Alerting for configuration drift and policy violations
• Runbooks for incident response and remediation

What You Get: The “Secure Cloud Blueprint” Deliverables

Comprehensive, Tangible Outputs

1. The Blueprint Comprehensive, auditor-ready documentation detailing how your AWS setup maps directly to SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria and ISO 27001 Annex A Controls. This document becomes your primary artifact during external audits.

2. Secure IaC Modules Production-ready Terraform/CloudFormation code for your core infrastructure components. All modules follow AWS Well-Architected Framework and CIS Benchmarks, ensuring best-practice security by default.

3. Evidence Collection Automation Setup of native AWS services (Config, CloudTrail, CloudWatch) to automate the collection of audit evidence. Never manually compile compliance reports again.

4. Gap Analysis Report A detailed report showing the journey from your current state to full compliance readiness, including:

• Current security posture assessment
• Identified vulnerabilities and risks
• Remediation priorities and timelines
• Resource requirements and cost estimates

5. Auditor Q&A Support Dedicated time with our experts to address specific questions from your external auditor. We speak their language and can explain complex technical controls in audit-friendly terms.

Expertise That Passes the Toughest Audits

Our team specializes in the intersection of cloud engineering and security compliance. We don’t hire generic consultants; we employ AWS-certified security and DevOps experts with proven track records in successful audit outcomes.

Key Technical Focus Areas

• Strict Adherence to CIS Benchmarks We implement and validate every applicable CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark control, providing measurable security posture improvements.

• KMS and Encryption Management End-to-end encryption strategy covering data at rest, in transit, and in use, with proper key rotation and access policies.

• Multi-Account Landing Zone Best Practices AWS Control Tower alignment with proper account segregation, centralized logging, and automated guardrails.

• Identity & Access Management (IAM) Zero-trust architecture with fine-grained permissions, service control policies, and comprehensive audit trails.

• Network Security Architecture Defense-in-depth networking with VPC design, segmentation, ingress/egress controls, and DDoS protection.

• Incident Response & Forensics Automated alerting, log aggregation, and forensic-ready architectures that meet compliance requirements.

• Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Multi-region backup strategies, RTO/RPO planning, and tested recovery procedures.

Why Choose InfraHouse for Compliance Consulting?

Proven Track Record

We’ve helped startups from pre-seed to Series A achieve SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification on accelerated timelines, reducing typical 6-12 month journeys to 60-90 days of infrastructure work.

Engineering-First Approach

Unlike traditional compliance consultants who focus on policies and procedures, we fix the actual infrastructure. Our deliverables are code, automation, and working systems—not just documentation.

Cost-Effective Expertise

Hiring a full-time security engineer costs $150K-$250K+ annually. Our consulting engagements deliver expert-level remediation at a fraction of the cost, with faster time-to-value.

Partnership Model

We integrate seamlessly with your existing compliance platform (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) and work as an extension of your team, not a black-box vendor.

24/7 Support Available

Need help outside business hours? Our global engineering team provides round-the-clock support for critical security and compliance issues.

Your Compliance Deadline is Approaching. Let’s Get Ready.

Don’t delay the most critical part of your security journey. Speak to our compliance consulting team to review your timeline and lock in your audit success.

Every week of delay adds risk:

• Customer contracts requiring SOC 2 slip away
• Fundraising conversations stall on security questions
• Compliance platform costs accumulate without progress
• Your engineering team loses focus on product development

We eliminate these risks with proven, repeatable processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical engagement take? Most infrastructure remediation work is completed in 60-90 days, depending on your current state and complexity. We provide detailed timelines after the initial assessment.

Do you work with specific compliance platforms? Yes, we have deep experience with Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, and other leading GRC platforms. We can also work independently if you’re managing compliance in-house.

What if we’re already using a compliance consultant? Perfect! We complement policy and procedure consultants by handling the technical infrastructure work they cannot do. Many of our clients have both types of partners.

Can you help with audits beyond SOC 2 and ISO 27001? Yes, we also support PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and other security frameworks. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

What if we need ongoing support after certification? We offer continuous monitoring and managed security services through our Managed AWS Infrastructure offering, ensuring you maintain compliance year-round.
