Compliance Operations Consulting

Build the backbone of a scalable, audit-ready compliance program.

While tools like Vanta and Drata automate evidence collection and streamline SOC 2 workflows, they can’t build your compliance muscle from the ground up. That’s where we come in. SevenBelow's Compliance Operations Consulting delivers hands-on expertise to help you design, implement, and operationalize your governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs—bridging the critical gap between automation and actual readiness.

What We Do

Program Design & Readiness Planning:

Develop a right-sized compliance strategy based on your business model, risk profile, and audit targets (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS).

Policy & SOP Development

Draft or refine your core compliance documentation—including policies, procedures, and internal controls—aligned to trust principles and regulatory requirements.

Control Framework Mapping & Gap Analysis

Map existing practices to standard frameworks (SOC 2, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS) and identify control gaps or audit blockers.

Compliance Operations Infrastructure

Establish operational cadences (e.g., access reviews, risk assessments, vendor evaluations) and assign ownership to sustain ongoing audit readiness.

Team Enablement & Cross-Functional Alignment

Train and guide internal teams across Security, IT, HR, Engineering, and Product to own their compliance responsibilities—ensuring lasting cultural adoption.

Ideal for Companies Who

  • Use tools like Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, but need strategic guidance beyond checklists.

  • Are preparing for their first SOC 2 audit or scaling from Type I to Type II.

  • Have policies, but no operational enforcement or tracking in place.

  • Need to rebuild or mature a compliance program after rapid growth, restructuring, or new leadership.
