01
Make the requirement testable.
Turn source text, technical standards, and deadlines into explicit product decisions.
Focused integrations, operational tools, and compliance systems for the requirements shaping compliance automation.
SOC 2 and GDPR compliance get treated as separate workstreams by most tooling, even though they overlap heavily in practice — an access-control fix that satisfies a SOC 2 Trust Services Criterion is very often also the technical measure GDPR Article 32 asks for. Running them through disconnected spreadsheets and point-in-time audits means re-collecting the same evidence twice and losing the link between a control, the risk it addresses, and the regulation it satisfies.
A shared evidence architecture instead ties each control to its underlying system state — access logs, encryption configuration, vendor contracts, incident records — refreshed continuously rather than gathered in a pre-audit scramble, so a SOC 2 Type II observation period and an ongoing GDPR accountability obligation draw from the same live source instead of parallel manual processes.
Compliance Automation should end in a system people can operate, not a document that creates another translation step.
01
Turn source text, technical standards, and deadlines into explicit product decisions.
02
Map owners, data sources, approvals, and failure paths before choosing the software shape.
03
Include the operational trail, documentation, and maintainable architecture the requirement demands.
Each area is scoped around a named buyer problem, then designed outward to cover its systems.
