Data Security, Compliance & Cloud Protection

Security engineering and compliance programs for software companies and regulated businesses: SOC 2 readiness, HIPAA and GDPR controls, cloud hardening, backup and recovery. USA & UK.

Security that passes the audit — and the customer's questionnaire.

NHZ Global helps software companies, healthcare providers, financial firms and public bodies build the security controls their customers and regulators expect, then keep them running. We have taken a SaaS company from no security program to SOC 2 Type II readiness in twelve weeks, built FHIR-compliant health-data integration for a hospital group, and delivered compliance engines for regulated fintechs. We combine engineering with program management, so the controls are real and the evidence collects itself.

What we deliver

  • SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness — gap assessment, controls, policies, evidence automation and auditor liaison
  • HIPAA, GDPR and UK GDPR — data mapping, processing agreements, access controls, retention and breach procedures
  • Cloud security hardening — AWS and Azure configuration, identity and access, encryption, logging and alerting
  • Application security — secure development practices, dependency scanning, penetration-test readiness and remediation
  • Backup, recovery and continuity — tested restores, multi-region resilience and documented runbooks
  • Device and endpoint control — MDM, kiosk mode and lost-device wipe for field fleets (see device management)
  • Vendor and customer questionnaires — completed and evidenced, so sales are not held up by security

How an engagement runs

  1. Assessment against the framework you need (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, Cyber Essentials), prioritized by audit impact and business risk
  2. Engineering sprint — SSO and MFA, least-privilege access, centralized logging, encryption, vulnerability management
  3. Policies and evidence automation connected to your cloud, code and HR systems
  4. Readiness review and audit support
  5. Ongoing — continuous monitoring, quarterly reviews and questionnaire support

Frequently asked questions

Are you an auditor?

No — we prepare you for the audit and support you through it. We work alongside your chosen CPA firm or certification body.

How fast can we be SOC 2 ready?

With commitment from your team, twelve weeks to Type II readiness is realistic for a small SaaS company; the observation period then runs three to twelve months.

Do you handle ongoing compliance?

Yes. Continuous monitoring, quarterly control reviews and questionnaire support are available as a retainer.
