Building In-House’s Compliance Infrastructure vs. ours

Building compliance infrastructure in-house is the alternative most organizations reach for when they've seen the consulting firm model fail. There is a more precise model.

Their Model

How Building In-House delivers Compliance Infrastructure

Building compliance infrastructure in-house is the alternative most organizations reach for when they've seen the consulting firm model fail. The failure mode is different but equally predictable: the team is assembled from whoever is available, the compliance requirements are interpreted by engineers who have not built compliant systems before, and the architecture decisions reflect that inexperience.

Compliance infrastructure for regulated industries — HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, PCI DSS — is a specialized engineering discipline. The controls are well-documented but the architectural implications of those controls are not obvious to engineers who have not implemented them. An in-house team can produce a technically correct system that fails an audit because the audit evidence generation was not designed in.

In-house compliance infrastructure projects also face a talent scarcity problem. Engineers who understand the intersection of compliance frameworks and production system architecture are in high demand. Hiring and retaining a team that can deliver a compliant infrastructure architecture from scratch is a significant organizational investment.

Our Model

How we deliver Compliance Infrastructure

We deliver the compliance infrastructure engineering capability that most organizations cannot cost-effectively build internally. Our ALICE enforcement platform automates the compliance validation that would otherwise require a dedicated internal compliance engineering team.

Every system we build generates audit-ready evidence automatically. No manual evidence collection, no annual scramble before the SOC 2 audit, no compliance debt accumulated between review cycles.
