Compliance Built Into Your Software, Not Bolted On After

Failing an audit or misreading which regulations actually apply to you is expensive and slow to fix after the fact. We design to the frameworks your industry requires — GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more — from the first architecture decision, whether you're in healthcare, finance, or government.

Data Privacy & Protection:

What It Is:

These regulations ensure that personal data is collected, stored, and processed in a secure and lawful manner.

  • GDPR : Protects personal data and privacy for individuals in the EU.

  • CCPA : Grants California residents rights over their personal data.

  • HIPAA : Ensures privacy of health information in the US.

  • LGPD : Brazil's version of GDPR focused on data transparency.

  • PDPA : Data protection laws in Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

If your users are in the EU, California, or a jurisdiction with its own privacy law, we build the encryption, access control, and storage policies those laws require in from the start — a common need across the healthcare, government, and international projects we've delivered under GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.

Security Standards:

What It Is:

These standards focus on protecting information systems from unauthorized access, breaches, and cyber threats.

  • ISO/IEC 27001 : Global standard for information security management systems.

  • SOC 2 : Ensures secure handling of customer data by service providers.

  • NIST : A US-based framework for managing cybersecurity risks.

  • OWASP Top 10 : Industry standard for identifying the top 10 security risks in web applications.

We follow OWASP Top 10 coding practices, use NIST-recommended tools, and are working toward ISO 27001-aligned processes. Our DevSecOps pipeline integrates regular vulnerability scans and security audits for every project.

Payment & Financial Compliance:

What It Is:

These rules safeguard payment systems and ensure financial accountability.

  • PCI-DSS : Standards for secure card payments.

  • SOX : Ensures integrity of financial reporting.

  • GLBA : Protects sensitive financial information in the US.

For clients handling online payments or financial data, we design systems that align with PCI-DSS guidelines, offer data encryption, and enable audit logs for transparency and SOX compliance.

Industry-Specific Compliance (If applicable):

What It Is:

Certain industries like healthcare, government, or education require additional certifications.

  • FedRAMP : Cloud security for US federal agencies.

  • FISMA : US law for securing government information systems.

  • 21 CFR Part 11 : FDA regulations for electronic health records.

  • COPPA : Protects children's data on web platforms.

We've delivered solutions to government and healthcare clients in the US, Brazil, and UK, meeting standards like FISMA, FedRAMP, and 21 CFR Part 11 when applicable. If your domain requires specific compliance, we tailor our development process accordingly.

Licensing & Intellectual Property:

What It Is:

Ensures legal use of software and protects original digital creations.

  • Open Source Licensing : Ensures responsible use of open-source components.
  • Copyright/IP Protection : Guards against unauthorized content usage.
  • DMCA Compliance : Responds to copyright takedown requests.

We conduct a rigorous review of all third-party libraries and open-source components, ensuring compliance with licenses such as MIT, GPL, and Apache. All custom-developed code is secured through robust Intellectual Property (IP) protection agreements, giving clients full ownership and long-term control over their software.

Our team also helps organizations implement proper software licensing frameworks, strengthen cybersecurity and data protection policies, and establish effective DMCA compliance measures to prevent unauthorized distribution or misuse of digital assets.

Most of the compliance frameworks above share one requirement in common: strict, auditable control over who can access what. That's exactly what our IAMSync identity and access management solution is built for.

Why Choose IAMSync?

  • Closes off a common breach path by enforcing strict authentication and access policies instead of leaving them to individual teams.
  • Cuts the manual work of onboarding and offboarding by automating user provisioning and de-provisioning.
  • Stops password resets and access requests from clogging your help desk, with SSO and self-service password management.
  • Gives auditors the access logs and reporting they ask for, already in place instead of assembled after the request.
  • Works across the systems you already run, without a separate identity setup for each one.

See IAMSync to secure, simplify, and centralize identity management across your systems.
