02The challenge
Parallax's enterprise pipeline was stalling in security review. Every hospital system asked for something different, one wanted SOC 2, another ISO 27001, all of them wanted HIPAA assurances.
Running three separate projects would have tied up the platform team for most of the year, right as they were shipping a major product release.
03The approach
- 1Unified scopingOne system boundary and one risk assessment built to satisfy all three frameworks.
- 2Single control library118 controls mapped across SOC 2 TSC, ISO Annex A and the HIPAA Security Rule.
- 3Evidence onceAutomated evidence from AWS, Okta and GitHub, reused across every auditor request.
- 4Coordinated fieldworkCPA firm and certification body scheduled back to back in one window.
04In their words
We had three audits on the same roadmap. SecureKnots turned it into one program, our engineers barely noticed it happening.
05The results
- ✓Audit-ready for SOC 2 Type I, ISO 27001 and a HIPAA assessment in 14 weeks, with reports issued by the client's independent auditors
- ✓Two stalled hospital contracts closed within a month of reports landing
- ✓Security questionnaire turnaround cut from weeks to two days
