What does an enterprise compliance audit cover?

An enterprise compliance audit examines whether your software and IT systems meet the requirements of the regulatory frameworks that apply to your organization. Depending on your industry, that might include HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, FedRAMP, or others.

On the software side, the audit covers access controls, encryption and data handling, audit logging, vulnerability management, secure development practices, and third-party component risk. It maps what the software actually does against what each framework requires, identifies the gaps, and provides a remediation plan to close them.

A compliance audit isn’t just about passing a certification. It’s about confirming that your software actually protects the people and data it’s responsible for.
