Compliance Framework

A practical, evidence-ready roadmap for SOC 2 readiness, HIPAA design awareness, privacy, AI governance, and responsible R&D-stage claims.

Current assurance status

Planckchron is building toward recognized security and healthcare compliance frameworks. The company does not currently claim SOC 2 attestation, ISO certification, HIPAA certification, HITRUST certification, FedRAMP authorization, or completed third-party audit status unless later supported by public documentation.

Framework Readiness

SOC 2

Security / Trust

Readiness roadmap

No SOC 2 report yet

Planckchron is aligning security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy controls to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria before engaging an independent CPA firm for any future attestation.

HIPAA

Healthcare / ePHI

Design-aware

Not a HIPAA-covered production system today

HIPAA controls are treated as a healthcare-readiness design layer for any future system that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits electronic protected health information under a covered-entity or business-associate relationship.

ISO/IEC 27001

Information Security

Reference framework

Not certified

Planckchron references ISO/IEC 27001-style security governance as programs mature, without claiming certification.

NIST CSF / NIST AI RMF

Security / AI Risk

Reference framework

Internal alignment

Security and AI risk work is mapped to recognized cybersecurity and AI risk-management language so controls can mature into evidence-ready operating practices.

SOC 2 Control Map

Security

  • MFA for admin systems
  • least-privilege RBAC
  • secure SDLC
  • vulnerability management
  • incident-response procedures

Availability

  • uptime monitoring
  • backup and recovery planning
  • dependency review
  • change management
  • status-page workflow

Confidentiality

  • data classification
  • encryption expectations
  • access reviews
  • vendor risk review
  • confidentiality clauses

Processing Integrity

  • input validation
  • QA gates
  • release checks
  • logging for critical workflows
  • data-quality review

Privacy

  • privacy notices
  • consent-aware analytics
  • data-retention rules
  • user-rights workflow
  • subprocessor inventory

HIPAA Readiness Map

Administrative safeguards

  • security management process
  • risk analysis and risk management
  • workforce access procedures
  • security awareness training
  • contingency planning

Physical safeguards

  • device and media controls
  • workstation security expectations
  • facility-access reliance on vetted cloud providers
  • asset inventory

Technical safeguards

  • unique user identification
  • access control
  • audit controls
  • integrity controls
  • transmission security

Business-associate readiness

  • BAA workflow for healthcare customers
  • vendor review for ePHI access
  • minimum necessary access
  • breach-response escalation
  • ePHI data-flow mapping

SOC 2 Readiness

  • Map controls to security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy criteria
  • Create evidence collection around access control, change management, incident response, vendor risk, and monitoring
  • Complete readiness assessment before Type I or Type II audit consideration
  • Use independent CPA attestation only when the control environment is ready

HIPAA / Healthcare Readiness

  • Define whether a future product handles PHI/ePHI and whether Planckchron acts as a business associate
  • Map administrative, physical, and technical safeguards before any healthcare production launch
  • Prepare BAA, ePHI data-flow, minimum-necessary access, audit logging, retention, and breach-response workflows
  • Keep biotechnology pages framed as concept, R&D, or pre-clinical unless supported by current public evidence

AI Governance

  • Model documentation, evaluation logs, and risk classification for AI workflows
  • Bias, safety, security, privacy, and human-oversight review for sensitive applications
  • Clear limits on autonomy, medical claims, and production deployment language
  • Responsible AI policy mapped to recognized AI risk-management frameworks as programs mature

Privacy & International Data Protection

  • Privacy notice, cookie consent, user-rights workflow, and data-retention standards
  • CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, and state consumer health data monitoring where applicable
  • Subprocessor transparency and vendor security review
  • Privacy-by-design controls for future healthcare, AI, and enterprise products

Evidence Backlog

Written information-security policy and control owner map
Asset inventory and data-flow inventory for systems that may process sensitive data
Access-control matrix, MFA evidence, joiner/mover/leaver process, and quarterly access reviews
Vendor and subprocessor register with security review notes
Incident-response plan, breach-notification workflow, and tabletop exercise records
Change-management evidence from GitHub pull requests, Vercel deployments, and release notes
Security awareness training log and acceptable-use acknowledgements
Backup, recovery, monitoring, vulnerability management, and remediation evidence
HIPAA-specific ePHI boundary document before any healthcare production deployment

Claims Guardrails

  • Do not display SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO, HITRUST, FedRAMP, or certification badges until a valid third-party report, attestation, certification, or authorization exists.
  • HIPAA is not a generic website badge. It applies when Planckchron acts as a covered entity or business associate handling PHI/ePHI under applicable relationships.
  • Healthcare demos and biotech research pages must avoid claims of clinical efficacy, patient enrollment, approved therapy, active clinical trial, or regulatory clearance unless supported by current public documentation.
  • SOC 2 readiness can be described as alignment or roadmap; only an independent auditor can issue the SOC 2 report.

Risk Management & Controls

Security Risk

  • risk register
  • vulnerability management
  • incident-response plan
  • access reviews
  • secure configuration baselines

Healthcare / HIPAA Risk

  • ePHI boundary decision
  • BAA readiness
  • minimum necessary access
  • audit controls
  • breach-escalation workflow

Regulatory Claims Risk

  • claims review
  • R&D labels
  • no unsupported certifications
  • no unsupported healthcare claims
  • legal review before regulated launches
