Audits & Compliance Assessments in Seattle, WA
Build a clear understanding of your organization’s IT risks and compliance posture. Foxcove provides structured assessments that review systems, security controls, and operational practices to help Seattle-based companies identify gaps, reduce exposure, and prepare for formal audits or regulatory requirements.
Secure, Compliant, and Confident Before the Audit Even Starts
Audits should confirm that your systems and controls are functioning as expected, not uncover gaps at the last minute. A well-run organization enters an audit with documented processes, defined security controls, and clear ownership across its IT environment.
Foxcove conducts compliance-focused assessments that examine your infrastructure, access controls, policies, and operational practices against recognized security and regulatory frameworks. The goal is to surface risks early, prioritize remediation, and establish a clear path toward audit readiness.
Whether you are planning for SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or internal governance reviews, our assessments help Seattle-based teams understand what is required, what is missing, and how to address compliance expectations sustainably.
Why Seattle Organizations Choose Foxcove for IT Compliance & Audit Assessments?
Effective compliance work depends on accuracy, consistency, and practical execution. Foxcove supports growing organizations by combining technical assessment, security oversight, and regulatory understanding to help teams operate with clarity and control as requirements increase.

Risk identified early: Gaps in access controls, configuration, and policy enforcement are reviewed and prioritized based on impact and likelihood, allowing teams to address issues before they become audit blockers.
Framework-aligned expertise: Our assessments are informed by common standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, and PCI DSS, ensuring evaluations are grounded in recognized requirements.
Clear assessment reporting: Findings are documented in structured reports that outline observed gaps, risk context, and recommended next steps, supporting informed decision-making.
Support beyond the assessment: For organizations that need it, Foxcove provides ongoing IT and security support to help maintain controls as systems and teams evolve.
