How a leading healthcare analytics firm turned a stalled 3-year compliance roadmap into a 6-month victory—while cutting cloud costs by 70%.
When I arrived, this healthcare analytics organization was effectively stuck. They had spent three years attempting to achieve SOC 2 compliance with little to show for it. Their internal estimate was grim: another three years before they would be audit-ready.
Compounding the issue was an out-of-control cloud infrastructure. AWS bills were ballooning, hitting $1.7M annually, bleeding resources that should have been used for innovation.
We immediately performed a deep-dive gap analysis to identify the 20% of work that would deliver 80% of the compliance value. We stopped "security theater" and focused on evidence.
Compliance requires visibility. By auditing the infrastructure for security, we uncovered massive waste. improving security architecture simultaneously optimized resource usage.
Success wasn't just technical. We worked in lockstep with leadership to change the culture from "compliance is a blocker" to "compliance is quality."
The transformation was drastic. In just 6 months, we achieved what they feared would take six years total.
