Network Compliance Audits

Know Where You Stand Before the Auditor Does.

Compliance gaps in your network don't disappear on their own - they accumulate. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIST, and CMMC all have specific network infrastructure requirements that most organizations have never been formally assessed against.

SRS Networks conducts structured network compliance audits that identify gaps, document your current state against regulatory requirements, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap your team can execute against before your next audit.

The Problem

Why Organizations Fail Compliance Audits

Compliance failures are rarely about intent - they are about visibility. Organizations that fail audits usually had the right controls in some areas and nothing in others. The gap between what you think you have and what auditors find is where the liability lives.

Failed Audits With No Roadmap to Remediate

A failed PCI-DSS or HIPAA audit without a structured remediation plan leaves you in the same position the next time around. You know something is wrong but you have no prioritized path to fix it - and every day of inaction increases your exposure.

Compliance Gaps You Don't Know Exist

Most organizations have compliance gaps they simply haven't discovered yet. Misconfigured firewalls, improper network segmentation, missing encryption on data in transit, undocumented system access - the gaps that auditors find first are often the ones nobody was looking for.

No Documentation to Support Your Compliance Posture

Compliance is not just about having the right controls - it's about proving you have them. Without documented network diagrams, access control policies, change logs, and security procedures, you cannot demonstrate compliance even when the controls exist.

Inconsistent Security Controls Across Systems

When security configurations differ between departments, locations, or systems, you create unpredictable compliance exposure. One misconfigured switch, one unpatched device, or one undocumented exception can undermine an otherwise compliant environment.

Regulatory Penalties and Contractual Risk

HIPAA fines, PCI-DSS assessments, and contract requirements tied to SOC 2 reports are not hypothetical risks - they have real dollar values attached. Organizations that operate without a current compliance audit are carrying liability they may not even be aware of.

The Solution

Find the Gaps First. Fix Them Before the Audit Does.

SRS Networks conducts structured network compliance audits that treat your infrastructure as the evidence it is - examining segmentation, access controls, encryption, logging, and documentation against the specific requirements of your regulatory framework. We deliver what you need to act: a documented gap analysis and a prioritized remediation roadmap, not a generic checklist.

What's Included

End-to-End Compliance Audit Coverage

From the initial framework gap analysis to the final prioritized remediation roadmap, SRS Networks delivers a complete compliance audit engagement - not a checklist review that leaves you guessing what to do next.

Compliance Gap Analysis

We assess your network environment against the requirements of your applicable regulatory frameworks - HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIST, or CMMC - and document every gap between your current state and the required controls. No assumptions. Findings are evidence-based.

Framework-specific control mapping
Current-state vs. required-state gap documentation
Risk classification of each identified gap

Network Architecture Review

Compliance failures often originate in the network - improper segmentation, flat architectures exposing regulated data, undocumented firewall rules, or unencrypted traffic where encryption is required. We review your network design against regulatory expectations and document what exists versus what's required.

Network segmentation and VLAN review
Firewall rule and ACL analysis
Encrypted vs. unencrypted data flow mapping

Documentation & Evidence Package

We help you build or verify the documentation package that supports your compliance posture - network diagrams, access control policies, system inventories, and security procedures. If evidence doesn't exist, we identify what needs to be created and in what format auditors expect it.

Network diagram review and gap identification
Access control policy documentation audit
Asset inventory and data classification review

Remediation Roadmap

Our deliverable is not just a list of problems - it is a prioritized, actionable remediation plan that tells your team exactly what to fix, in what order, and why. Findings are ranked by regulatory impact and operational risk so you can allocate resources where they matter most.

Prioritized findings by risk and regulatory impact
Remediation steps with technical specificity
Timeline recommendations for critical and high-risk items
The Difference

Unaudited Compliance vs. SRS Network Compliance Audit

What changes when you replace assumed compliance with a structured, evidence-based audit that maps your actual network controls against the requirements that govern you.

Real-World Use Cases

Industries Where Compliance Audits Are Non-Negotiable

SRS Networks conducts network compliance audits for organizations that operate under regulatory requirements where network infrastructure controls are explicitly in scope - and where failure to document compliance carries real financial and operational risk.

Healthcare Organizations

Hospitals, clinics, and health systems subject to HIPAA Security Rule requirements need to demonstrate that their network infrastructure protects ePHI at rest and in transit. We audit network segmentation, access controls, encryption posture, and audit logging against HIPAA technical safeguard requirements.

Financial Services

Banks, credit unions, insurance carriers, and financial services firms operating under PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or GLBA requirements need documentation that their network controls meet the standard. We conduct gap analyses tied directly to the applicable control framework with evidence-backed findings.

Government Contractors

Organizations pursuing or maintaining CMMC certification or operating under NIST SP 800-171 requirements need a current gap analysis before their assessment. We evaluate network infrastructure controls against the relevant practice domains and deliver findings auditors can review.

Retail with Payment Processing

Retail organizations that process cardholder data need a network environment that meets PCI-DSS segmentation, access control, and logging requirements. We audit the cardholder data environment boundary, firewall configurations, and wireless security controls against the current PCI-DSS standard.

Why SRS Networks

We Audit the Network. Not Just the Paperwork.

Many compliance reviews focus on policy documents and questionnaire responses. Ours don't. SRS Networks audits the actual network infrastructure - the firewall rules, the VLAN configuration, the access control policies in production, the encryption in use on traffic that carries regulated data. That's where compliance lives and that's where auditors look. We get there first so you're not surprised when they do.

Framework-specific audit methodology - we know HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, NIST, and CMMC requirements in depth
Network-focused findings that go deeper than checklist compliance reviews
Deliverables your team can actually use - gap analysis, evidence review, and prioritized remediation roadmap
Nationwide audit capacity with consistent methodology across every engagement
