Enterprise customers, global partners, and regulated industry buyers require proof of security controls before they share data or sign contracts. Fortreum guides commercial organizations through the four frameworks that satisfy those requirements.

Find Your Framework

Your Buyers Determine Your Compliance Requirement.

Commercial compliance requirements aren’t chosen, they’re imposed by your customers, your industry, and the data your platform handles. The right framework depends on who is asking and what they need to see before they engage. If you already know which framework applies, go straight to that page. If you’re not sure, start here.

My enterprise customers require proof of security controls.

SOC 1 & 2: SOC 2 is the standard SaaS customers and enterprise buyers require before sharing data or signing contracts; SOC 1 applies specifically to organizations whose services affect their clients’ financial reporting controls
ISO 27001: the internationally recognized information security certification global enterprise customers and partners increasingly require alongside SOC 2

My platform handles protected health information.

HIPAA: applies to any organization that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information on behalf of a covered entity; HITECH extends those obligations to breach notification and enforcement

My platform handles payment card data.

PCI DSS: applies to any organization that stores, processes, or transmits credit or debit cardholder data; your transaction volume determines whether you need a full ROC or qualify for a SAQ

Compliance Programs

Most Commercial Organizations Need More Than One Framework.

Enterprise SaaS companies frequently need SOC 2 and ISO 27001 simultaneously. Healthcare technology platforms need HIPAA alongside SOC 2. Payment platforms need PCI DSS on top of both. Fortreum’s XRAMP platform maps shared controls across your compliance programs so you assess once and reuse evidence across multiple frameworks.
