Compliance & Audit Readiness
TEG’s Compliance & Audit Readiness service helps organizations turn regulatory pressure into operational strength.
Whether preparing for SOC 2, HITRUST, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or CMMC, we guide your team through the process of building sustainable compliance, without disrupting daily operations.
This service is designed for companies that are:
– Facing their first formal audit and need structured guidance.
– Expanding into regulated markets or enterprise contracts that require certification.
– Maintaining multiple frameworks and want a unified compliance model.
– Strengthening internal governance and evidence collection processes.
Our approach combines fractional leadership with hands-on advisory, ensuring your technology, security, and business teams work from one playbook.
Our Process
1. Derisk - Establishing Control
We begin by identifying and addressing compliance and security gaps that could lead to audit failure or business disruption. In this phase, we benchmark your organization against key frameworks and create a prioritized action plan to close deficiencies before auditors or clients find them.
Focus areas:
– Framework alignment (SOC 2, HITRUST, CMMC, HIPAA, ISO 27001)
– Risk assessment and control mapping
– Evidence readiness and documentation gaps
– Data handling, access control, and policy coverage
2. Unclog - Streamlining Compliance
Compliance should add structure, not slow progress. We streamline documentation, automate evidence collection, and align teams to ensure each control has clear ownership. This reduces manual effort, eliminates redundant tasks, and builds efficiency into compliance operations.
Focus areas:
– Policy simplification and harmonization
– Automated control testing and reporting
– Role alignment and accountability models
– Vendor and third-party management consistency
3. Scale - Sustaining Audit Readiness
Once controls are stabilized and workflows are efficient, we focus on making compliance continuous and predictable. We integrate audit preparation into the normal business rhythm, helping your team manage risk proactively instead of reactively.
Focus areas:
– Continuous control monitoring and improvement
– KPI and compliance scorecard reporting
– Annual and quarterly audit planning
– Framework expansion or certification readiness
