SOC 2 audit prep, before → after
contract obligations surfaced and now tracked
regulator findings on the latest NYDFS exam

Eleven-week SOC 2 audit prep. HIPAA evidence in three different SharePoint folders. The CISO and the Compliance Director kept finding out about each other’s work in the Slack #audit channel. Engineers had been asked to fill out the same vendor security questionnaire four times in two quarters.
- 01Imported existing SOC 2 control library from a spreadsheet, mapped to HIPAA in 90 minutes via the cross-mapping engine.
- 02Wired up GitHub, AWS, and Okta integrations on day one. 800+ pieces of evidence auto-collected within the first week.
- 03Migrated vendor questionnaire history into the vendor module. Auto-populated incoming questionnaires from prior responses + public trust pages.
- 04Set up continuous control testing for 36 SOC 2 controls. Failed tests now open Jira tickets directly to the owning team.
“Cut SOC 2 audit prep from 11 weeks to 6 days. The auditor stopped asking us to ‘send the spreadsheet’ because there was no spreadsheet. The first time the auditor closed a control on their own, our compliance lead cried a little.”
Audit prep went from a quarterly fire drill that pulled engineering off the roadmap to a continuous background process. The compliance team now spends time on programmatic improvements, not evidence hunts.
Diagnostics / clinical operations
HIPAA + 21 CFR Part 11 + GxP across three lab sites. Quarterly validation audits, annual external audit, monthly internal audit. Lab inventory, vendor BAAs, and validation evidence (IQ/OQ/PQ) were maintained in three separate systems with no shared identifier. A single regulatory inspection meant six weeks of prep and three full-time people pulled off the floor.
- 01Multi-framework GRC setup: HIPAA, HITRUST CSF, 21 CFR Part 11, and GxP mapped to a single 220-control library.
- 02Vendor risk module loaded with 84 vendors. BAA + DPA tracking with renewal alerts. Auto-monitoring of public security signals.
- 03Validation artifacts (IQ/OQ/PQ) ingested into the audit module. Searchable, retrievable, attached to specific controls.
- 04Custom workflow: every validation event now opens a structured engagement; evidence collected in-flow; report generated at close.
“HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 evidence collection went from a quarterly project to a continuous background process. When the FDA inspector showed up unannounced, we had everything ready in fifteen minutes. That used to take three days.”
The unannounced FDA visit closed without a single document request going unanswered. The CCO has since made opsnite the centerpiece of the lab’s accreditation strategy.
Financial technology
NYDFS 500, FFIEC, SEC marketing rule, GLBA, PCI-DSS. Vendor concentration risk was a known unknown. The vendor management team could not name the top five vendors by transaction volume without a one-week analysis. Contract obligations (audit rights, data residency, breach notification) lived in Word documents nobody read after signing. A regulator finding was overdue.
- 01Stood up vendor risk with concentration views. Vendors ranked by transaction-flow exposure, not by spend. Surfaced fourth-party dependencies as nodes.
- 02Migrated 312 contracts into the contracts module. Obligation extraction surfaced 47 active obligations no one was tracking.
- 03NYDFS 500 + FFIEC control libraries activated. Mapped to existing internal control catalog.
- 04Regulator-facing read-only audit workspace. Examiner gets scoped access; team avoids becoming a copy-paste service.
“The vendor concentration view caught a fourth-party dependency that would have been a regulator finding. We saved it before it landed. Three weeks later when the NYDFS exam started, we had the auditor running queries themselves instead of asking us for things.”
First NYDFS exam with opsnite closed clean. The vendor concentration map is now a standing item in the quarterly board risk review. Contract obligation breaches dropped to zero.
