Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS)
Security and compliance, simplified for SaaS.
Packet33 helps cloud-based companies stay audit-ready year-round through a managed compliance program that combines security leadership, compliance operations, and ongoing audit preparation.
Overview
Modern SaaS companies face constant pressure from customers, investors, and auditors to demonstrate security maturity.
Packet33’s Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) provides the structure, tools, and hands-on support to maintain compliance continuously without hiring a full-time security or compliance team.
Our program acts as your virtual compliance office, managing everything from SOC 2 or ISO 27001 alignment to evidence collection, risk tracking, and GRC platform administration.
We help you prepare once and stay ready forever.
Who It’s For
SaaS and cloud-native companies managing one or more frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc.)
Growing teams responding to security questionnaires and vendor due-diligence requests
MedTech SaaS platforms that must maintain HIPAA or HITRUST alignment
Companies that want ongoing oversight instead of point-in-time consulting
How It Works
Every engagement is led by a Packet33 vCISO who designs, implements, and operates your compliance program.
We integrate directly into your environment, leveraging tools like Vanta, Drata, or Secureframe that you license, while Packet33 configures, manages, and operates them as your compliance administrator.
From policy creation to risk assessments, control tracking, and readiness reporting, we handle the daily execution so your team can focus on building product and serving customers.
