FAQs
How can blended audits save time and costs?
Many compliance frameworks share overlapping requirements, whether you’re focused on financial reporting, cybersecurity, privacy regulations, or ESG initiatives. Instead of managing each audit separately, a blended audit aligns these efforts into one streamlined process. By reusing evidence and mapping shared controls across frameworks, you cut down on time, reduce staff burden, and reduce overall costs.
How many frameworks can be integrated?
As many as you need. Our team is qualified across more than 30 global standards, and we regularly help clients combine frameworks like SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and ESG reporting. Some organizations combine up to seven frameworks in a single engagement, and we’re seeing more clients embrace this approach to reduce audit fatigue and maximize ROI.
What if our frameworks have different deadlines?
That’s where our platform, Pillar, comes in. Built in-house to support complex compliance needs, our tool lets you track your controls across multiple frameworks, filter by priority, and manage timelines independently. When a framework is ready, we’ll accredit or report on it—individually or bundled with others—based on your needs and schedule.
Can we reduce the audit work by using a compliance platform?
Absolutely. GRC tools like Drata and others automate evidence collection and control monitoring across multiple frameworks. We integrate with leading platforms to streamline the audit process and reduce manual effort. Using shared evidence across frameworks can significantly simplify your path to compliance, and we’re equipped to make the most of that efficiency during your audit.
