Compliance & Management
An audit-ready cloud environment is the default. Not an add-on.
Expert-managed compliance and security for engineering leaders who are done treating regulatory requirements as a separate workstream. HIPAA and PCI-DSS environments, governed from the ground up, so your team stays focused on building.
Compliance shouldn’t slow down the team building the product.
product time to market
Compliance consumes the engineering time you need for a product.
Every audit cycle, vendor review, and documentation request pulls engineers off the work that moves the business forward. That’s not a compliance problem. It’s an infrastructure problem.
audit velocity
Audit prep is a recurring disruption, not a baseline state.
Recurring scans, remediation documentation, and compliance reporting don’t happen automatically. Without a managed process, audit prep becomes a recurring disruption rather than a baseline state.
liability gaps
Responsibility boundaries get exposed at the worst moments.
Vendor reviews and audits surface gray areas fast. If it isn’t clear what your infrastructure provider owns versus what your team owns, you’re the one answering for the gap.
siloed security
Security and infrastructure live in different conversations.
When security posture is managed separately from the infrastructure it’s supposed to protect, gaps form and threats slip through. By the time they’re visible, they’re already a liability.
Regulatory burden becomes a competitive advantage
When compliance is built into the cloud infrastructure layer, it stops being a bottleneck and starts being a differentiator.

Native compliance
HIPAA and PCI-DSS ready cloud environments engineered from the ground up, not patched in after the fact. The controls, encryption, security and hardware isolation that auditors ask about are part of the architecture, not features you configure separately.
Managed security
Protection that’s part of the cloud infrastructure layer, not an add-on your team manages on the side. Nexcess engineers monitor, maintain, and respond at the infrastructure level so your security posture doesn’t depend on your team’s available bandwidth.
Full-stack scope
Clear documentation of what Nexcess Platform owns and what your team owns, so nothing falls through the cracks during a vendor review or audit. Responsibility boundaries defined in advance, not discovered under pressure. QSA assistance and vendor review support are available when you need a Nexcess engineer in the room.
Audit-ready by default
Compliance dashboards, automated evidence collection, audit trail logging, and HIPAA and PCI-DSS framework mappings are part of the environment, not a project you stand up every compliance cycle.
One conversation, the right compliance posture for your environment.
Your Solutions Architect will map the right controls to your workload, drawing from options including:
Cloud infrastructure-layer security managed by Nexcess engineers so your team isn’t running a parallel security operation alongside everything else.
ASV-approved scanning with audit-ready reporting, covering the full compliance cycle from initial scan through remediation and re-validation.
Clear documentation of what Nexcess Platform owns and what your team owns, so nothing falls through the cracks during a vendor review or audit. Responsibility boundaries defined in advance, not discovered under pressure. QSA assistance and vendor review support are available when you need a Nexcess engineer in the room.
The legal, audit, and compliance documentation layer your regulated workloads require, including BAA coverage and PCI AOC. In place before an auditor asks, maintained as your environment evolves.
Audit evidence logged continuously so documentation can be made ready before the review cycle begins, not assembled under deadline pressure.
Automated backup and recovery options designed for regulated environments, with encrypted storage, retention policies, and recovery workflows that support your compliance requirements.
Governance, risk, and compliance support at the cloud infrastructure level, reducing the internal burden of evidence collection, framework documentation, and audit risk. Includes QSA assistance, vendor review support, and dedicated account management for environments where compliance outcomes are tied to revenue and customer trust.
GOVERNANCE & VISIBILITY LAYER
Compliance & Management
Real-time monitoring, automated evidence collection, and QSA assistance that stops your audit process from disrupting your baseline.
network perimeter layer
Network & Security
WAF, bot management, API protection, and DDoS mitigation that stop threats at the border, not just the origin.
Governed foundation layer
Cloud Hosting
Secure, isolated compute layer engineered for high availability and regulatory compliance from the ground up.
Compliance & management wraps the cloud environment so regulated workloads can move at speed.
One environment, governed end-to-end.
When compliance is part of the infrastructure, it stops being something your team manages and starts being something your environment provides.
FAQs
It means HIPAA and PCI-DSS controls are engineered into the infrastructure from the ground up, not configured on top of a general-purpose environment after the fact. The isolation, encryption, security and documentation are part of the architecture, not features you enable separately.
Nexcess Platform environments are built to support HIPAA and PCI-DSS requirements. Talk to your solutions architect about your specific framework requirements and we’ll map the right controls to your environment.
Nexcess manages the cloud infrastructure layer: hardware, networking, OS patching, security monitoring, and compliance documentation. Your team owns the application layer. Responsibility models are defined clearly at the start of the engagement so nothing falls through the cracks during a vendor review or audit.
For organizations requiring additional support, GRC advisory support includes direct assistance with QSA reviews, vendor assessments, and audit preparation.
Endpoint protection, vulnerability scanning, network isolation, and network and application firewall are available as part of the platform. Security runs at the infrastructure layer, managed by Nexcess, so your team isn’t operating a parallel security program.
Yes. BAA coverage for HIPAA workloads and AOC documentation for PCI-DSS environments are available.
Nexcess can assist directly. That includes QSA support, auditor assistance, and review preparation. You don’t have to represent the infrastructure layer yourself.
They’re designed to. Nexcess Platform provides clear, documented accountability for what we manage and what your team manages. That documentation is part of the environment and available for auditor review without a separate request.
Nexcess provides remediation guidance, coordinates re-scanning, and updates documentation once issues are resolved.
Vulnerability Scanning supports ongoing risk monitoring across frameworks including HIPAA and PCI-DSS, with monthly scanning and issue resolution. PCI ASV Scanning uses ASV-qualified technology specifically designed to meet PCI-DSS external scanning requirements, with formal audit-ready reporting. Many regulated environments use both.
Backup and disaster recovery are part of the compliance posture, not separate from it. Encrypted storage, documented retention policies, and tested recovery workflows provide the evidence regulated environments need to demonstrate data protection controls.
