One Unified Approach to HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, and More
Managing each framework separately doubles your costs and triples your headaches. Facet Technologies guides Central Illinois businesses through multiple compliance requirements with integrated consulting that treats overlapping controls as shared resources—so your team can work toward compliance more efficiently.
Why Managing Frameworks Separately Fails
Most compliance consultants treat each framework as an isolated project. They run separate assessments, create duplicate documentation, and implement redundant controls. You get billed twice—or three times—for the same security measures.
- Separate assessments for each framework
- Duplicate documentation and policies
- Redundant technical controls
- Conflicting terminology causing confusion
- Multiple audit cycles draining resources
The reality: HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CMMC, and ISO 27001 share roughly 70% of their requirements. Smart organizations build once and apply many times.
Shared
Multi-Framework Scenarios We Address
Different industries face different compliance combinations. Here's how we help Central Illinois businesses tackle the most common multi-framework challenges.
Healthcare Technology: HIPAA + SOC 2
Health tech companies face dual pressure. HIPAA mandates protection for patient health information. Enterprise customers demand SOC 2 reports before signing contracts.
- Access management and identity verification
- Data encryption at rest and in transit
- Incident response procedures
- Ongoing risk assessment
Organizations with SOC 2 compliance are often 60-70% of the way toward HIPAA compliance.
Learn about HIPAA compliance →Defense Contractors: CMMC + ISO 27001
Central Illinois manufacturers supplying the Department of Defense need CMMC certification to bid on contracts. Many already hold ISO 27001—and wonder how much additional work CMMC requires.
- Risk-based security methodology
- Strict access controls
- Incident management and reporting
- Comprehensive documentation
ISO 27001's Information Security Management System provides a solid foundation for CMMC Level 2.
Explore CMMC services →Healthcare Providers: HIPAA + PCI DSS
Medical practices throughout Peoria, Bloomington-Normal, and Central Illinois face a common challenge: protecting patient records under HIPAA while securing credit card payments under PCI DSS.
- Secure networks and firewalls
- Authentication and access restrictions
- Encryption standards
- Employee security training
Our unified approach implements controls that protect both data types while meeting each framework's documentation requirements.
View compliance services →Government Contractors: CMMC + FedRAMP
Businesses providing cloud services to federal agencies need FedRAMP authorization. Those also handling defense contracts require CMMC certification. Managing both independently creates massive overhead.
- Access control and identity management
- Audit and accountability logging
- System and communications protection
- Incident response procedures
Both trace back to common NIST control families, allowing unified security programs.

Rather than running parallel remediation projects, we help you prioritize controls that deliver the highest coverage across frameworks simultaneously.
Unified Assessment
We evaluate your current security posture against all applicable frameworks simultaneously and provide a clear picture of where you stand. Many businesses discover their existing security measures already address 40-50% of requirements—they just lack the documentation to prove it.
Integrated Control Mapping
We help you build a unified control matrix linking your policies, procedures, and technical controls to requirements from each applicable framework. One control implementation can address multiple frameworks.
Coordinated Implementation Guidance
We help your team focus resources on changes that move the needle for every compliance requirement simultaneously. This approach can reduce total implementation time by 40-50% compared to sequential projects.
Consolidated Documentation Support
We help you build a single source of truth—policies and procedures—that can generate framework-appropriate evidence packages for audits. One document can serve multiple purposes.
Ongoing Monitoring Support
Our managed IT services include continuous compliance monitoring that helps track your security posture against applicable frameworks. When requirements change or controls drift, we help identify potential issues so you can address them proactively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Costs depend on your current security posture, applicable frameworks, and organization size. HIPAA assessments for medical practices typically run $5,000-$15,000. CMMC Level 2 preparation ranges from $75,000-$250,000 depending on existing controls and remediation needs. Multi-framework integration reduces total costs 30-50% compared to independent projects.
Timeline varies based on current readiness and your team's capacity. Organizations with existing security programs often work toward compliance across multiple frameworks in 4-6 months. Starting from minimal controls typically extends timelines to 12-18 months. An integrated approach generally delivers faster results than sequential framework-by-framework projects. Ultimately, achieving and maintaining compliance is your organization's responsibility—we provide the guidance, tools, and expertise to help you get there.
ISO 27001 provides a strong foundation but doesn't replace CMMC certification. Both frameworks share similar control objectives, but CMMC adds specific requirements for protecting Department of Defense information. Our consultants map existing ISO controls to CMMC requirements, reducing the additional work needed for certification.
Different frameworks have different audit requirements. CMMC Level 2 requires certified third-party assessment organizations (C3PAOs). SOC 2 requires CPA firms. HIPAA doesn't mandate external audits but benefits from independent review. Our consulting services prepare you for audits across all applicable frameworks, coordinating evidence collection and documentation for each auditor's requirements.
Compliance consulting focuses on helping you understand and work toward regulatory requirements—assessments, documentation guidance, and remediation recommendations. Managed IT services provide ongoing technology operations—helpdesk support, monitoring, security tools. Facet offers both, which means the technical controls we recommend can be implemented by a team that already understands your compliance goals. Your organization remains responsible for achieving and maintaining compliance; we provide the expertise and support to help you succeed.
