HIPAA, SOC 2 & ISO 27001: What Each Compliance Framework Evaluates
HIPAA and SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 all tackle information security in a different way. HIPAA focuses on protecting PHI and ePHI, SOC 2 evaluates security and other controls that are applicable, while ISO 27001 is an Information Security Management System (ISMS) for information security risk management.
HIPAA Compliance Audit
A HIPAA compliance audit examines how organizations are securing PHI and ePHI using the mandated administrative, physical and technical security controls. Evaluations can reveal shortcomings in risk management, access controls, security policies, and the security of health information. There is no formal certification for HIPAA.
SOC 2 Audit & Readiness
SOC 2 assesses that an organization's controls are designed and operating in a way that's expected to meet its Trust Services Criteria. Preparation usually includes security controls, security policies and processes, security documentation and supporting evidence. Xcodefix Global can help with readiness and audit preparation prior to independent attestation.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Audit
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 evaluates an organization's ISMS and its approach to information security risk management. Preparation can include risk assessment, control implementation, documentation, and gap remediation. Xcodefix Global supports organizations preparing for the ISO 27001 certification process.
HITRUST Compliance & Readiness
HITRUST provides a structured approach to managing security and privacy controls across healthcare and other regulated environments. Our HITRUST readiness support includes gap assessment, control review, documentation, evidence preparation, and remediation planning.
GDPR Compliance Assessment
GDPR compliance focuses on protecting personal data and meeting privacy requirements for organizations handling data of individuals in the European Economic Area. Our GDPR support covers privacy assessments, data protection controls, policies, risk reviews, and compliance gap analysis.
| Framework | Primary Focus | Key Preparation Areas | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIPAA | PHI and ePHI protection | Risk assessment, safeguards, policies, evidence | Compliance assessment |
| SOC 2 | Security and selected Trust Services Criteria | Controls, evidence, testing, observation period | Independent attestation report |
| ISO 27001:2022 | Information security risk management | ISMS, risk treatment, SoA, controls, audit evidence | Certification through an accredited body |
| HITRUST | Security and privacy risk management | Controls, risk assessment, policies, evidence | HITRUST readiness |
| GDPR | Personal data protection and privacy | Data protection, privacy controls, policies, risk assessment | GDPR compliance readiness |
Depending on the industry, need, and security goals of an organization, they may need one, or more, frameworks. For instance, a healthcare SaaS organization might be concerned with HIPAA and SOC 2, whilst a different might be considering ISO 27001 for its information security administration system.
HIPAA, SOC 2 & ISO 27001 Compliance Audit Services
Our team can offer a HIPAA Risk Assessment, SOC 2 Readiness Assessment, ISO 27001 Gap Analysis, or Multi-Framework Compliance Support, assisting in identifying gaps, organizing evidence, and improving security controls. We assist organizations preparing for audits, attestations and/or certification.
Security Controls & Evidence Reviewed During Compliance Audits
Compliance assessments require more than documented policies. Organizations need effective security controls, defined processes, and evidence showing how those controls operate. Our assessments review areas such as:
-
Access Controls: User access, authentication, privileged accounts, and least-privilege practices.
-
Risk Management: Risk assessments, vulnerability management, risk treatment, and remediation.
-
Data Protection: Encryption, data handling, retention, and protection of sensitive information.
-
Security Monitoring: Logging, monitoring, alerting, and security event reviews.
-
Incident Response: Response procedures, escalation processes, and supporting records.
-
Policies & Documentation: Security policies, procedures, control ownership, and compliance documentation.
-
Evidence Management: Collection and organization of evidence needed to demonstrate control effectiveness.
We align these areas with the applicable HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, HITRUST, or GDPR requirements, focusing remediation on the controls, evidence, and privacy practices relevant to each organization's compliance objectives.
How Our Compliance Audit Engagement Works
Scope & Compliance Review
We define the applicable framework, systems, processes, business requirements, and compliance objectives.
Security & Control Assessment
We review policies, procedures, security controls, and risk management practices against HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, or GDPR requirements.
Gap Analysis & Risk Identification
We identify control gaps, documentation weaknesses, security risks, and remediation priorities across the assessment scope.
Remediation Support
We support control improvements, policy updates, process changes, and evidence requirements based on identified gaps.
Evidence & Audit Preparation
We organize supporting documentation and evidence to help teams prepare for independent audits, SOC 2 attestation, or ISO 27001 certification activities.
Ongoing Compliance Support
We support control reviews, evidence readiness, remediation tracking, and ongoing compliance maintenance as requirements evolve.
Timelines and Compliance Audit Realities
Compliance timelines are dependent on the organization's size, framework, existing controls and preparedness. A focused gap assessment can be a quick endeavor, and SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 preparation can take longer to mature the controls, gather evidence and implement controls. These dependencies are identified at the start to ensure that the assessment and remediation plan is in line with the organisation's actual starting point.
HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST & GDPR Use Cases
A Real-World HIPAA / SOC 2 / ISO Audit Example
A healthcare technology business was looking for more robust security controls for enterprise customers and compliance with HIPAA and SOC 2 standards. We performed a gap analysis of our access controls, security policies, risk management processes, incident response procedures and available compliance evidence in both frameworks.
This assessment identified inconsistent access and lack of evidence documentation. We assisted the team in prioritizing remediation, solidifying controls, and structuring supporting documentation for upcoming compliance efforts, in order to pave a smoother road toward HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 readiness.
