Secure, Compliant, and Confident Before the Audit Even Starts

Audit reviews are more effective when systems, controls, and documentation are already aligned. When preparation happens early, audits become validation exercises rather than disruptive events.

Foxcove works with Palo Alto organizations to review IT environments, security practices, and internal controls to identify compliance gaps before formal audits. This gives teams a clear understanding of current readiness and where adjustments are needed.

We support preparation for frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 by focusing on practical alignment and consistent compliance practices.
