Case Studies
Real Companies. Real Results.
Every company we work with has a unique compliance challenge. What they share is the outcome: they passed their audits, closed their deals, and their engineering teams never lost momentum. Here are some of those stories.
Case Study #1: Fintech Compliance
The Challenge
A fast growing payments startup needed SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS certification to close a $4M enterprise contract. Their 80 person engineering team had zero compliance infrastructure and a 12 week deadline imposed by the prospect.
Our Approach
Results
to SOC 2 Type I Ready
to PCI DSS Validated
Diverted from Product
Enterprise Deal Closed
“Our board was skeptical that we could hit both certifications before the contract deadline. HSD Cloud not only met the timeline but did it without pulling a single engineer off our product roadmap. That $4M deal closed three weeks after our auditor signed off.”
CFO, Series B Fintech
Case Study #2: Healthcare Compliance
The Challenge
A telehealth platform serving 200+ healthcare providers needed HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 Type II to satisfy a hospital network partnership agreement. Their cloud architecture had grown organically without security first design, and PHI data flows were poorly documented.
Our Approach
Results
to HIPAA Compliance
to SOC 2 Type I
PHI Data Flows Mapped
Critical Findings at Audit
“Before HSD Cloud, we were terrified of a HIPAA audit. We knew our infrastructure had gaps but did not have the specialized expertise to fix them. Their team rebuilt our security architecture while keeping our platform running for 200 provider practices. Not a single minute of downtime during the entire engagement.”

Case Study #3: Enterprise SaaS Compliance
The Challenge
A 400 person workforce management company operating across three cloud providers needed ISO 27001 certification to enter the European market. Their existing compliance efforts were fragmented across departments with no centralized ISMS, and they had 18 months of accumulated technical debt in their security controls.
Our Approach
Results
to ISO 27001 Certified
Unified Under One ISMS
Annex A Controls Addressed
Successfully Entered
“ISO 27001 across three cloud providers felt like an impossible project. HSD Cloud broke it down into manageable phases, embedded their engineers with each of our cloud teams, and drove the entire certification through to completion. We opened our London office six weeks after certification.”

Case Study #4: E-Commerce Compliance
The Challenge
A rapidly scaling direct to consumer marketplace processing $50M+ in annual transactions needed GDPR and DPDP compliance after expanding operations into the EU and India. Their data handling practices were built for a single market and lacked the consent management, data subject rights workflows, and cross border transfer mechanisms required by both regulations.
Our Approach
Results
to GDPR Compliance
to DPDP Compliance
Integrated for DSARs
DSAR Response Time Achieved
“We knew we needed GDPR compliance but the DPDP Act caught us off guard. HSD Cloud handled both simultaneously, built the consent infrastructure our product team needed, and automated our data subject request process. What would have taken our team a year, they delivered in three months.”
