SOX IT general controls apply to public companies and are commonly addressed 12-18 months pre-IPO.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this is common. For example, a healthcare SaaS company could need both HIPAA (for patient data) and SOC 2 (for its software platform), or a defense subcontractor handling financial data ahead of an IPO could need CMMC, NIST 800-171, and SOX simultaneously.

NIST 800-171 is the underlying set of security controls for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and it applies to any federal contractor handling CUI. CMMC is the Department of Defense's certification program that verifies -- via self-assessment (Level 1) or third-party C3PAO assessment (Level 2+) -- that a contractor meets those controls.

Not necessarily. State privacy laws (like California's CCPA/CPRA), industry-specific rules, cyber insurance requirements, and client/vendor contract clauses can still create security obligations. A voluntary NIST Cybersecurity Framework alignment is a reasonable baseline if you're unsure.

Mytek Pros performs compliance-readiness audits and gap assessments for HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, SOX IT controls, and NIST, then implements the actual technical controls -- not just a report.
