Advisory
04 / ADVISORY
IT Infrastructure & Security
Secure infrastructure and compliance readiness for companies in regulated industries.
Fintech, health tech, digital asset, and defense companies that face regulatory scrutiny and need their IT infrastructure to reflect it.
The work
Security controls that match the company's risk profile
Regulated and security-sensitive companies need more than basic SaaS administration. Customers, auditors, investors, and enterprise buyers expect evidence that access, endpoints, vendors, and incident response are managed with discipline.
PIF Advisory helps companies build a practical control environment: enough structure to satisfy diligence and compliance expectations, without turning early operating teams into audit departments.

FAQs
What to know before we begin.
The questions operators ask before an engagement starts.
SOC 2 involves documenting and operating controls across security, access, vendor management, change management, incident response, and monitoring. Readiness can take weeks or several months depending on current systems, control maturity, evidence quality, and audit scope.
IT management keeps devices, accounts, software, support, and infrastructure running. IT security focuses on reducing risk through access controls, endpoint protection, monitoring, policies, incident response, vendor reviews, and compliance evidence.
Health tech startups should identify whether they handle protected health information, sign appropriate business associate agreements, limit access, encrypt systems, document policies, train employees, track vendors, and prepare evidence showing safeguards are operating.
Common findings include shared accounts, missing device encryption, weak offboarding, unmanaged vendor access, no formal incident response plan, incomplete asset inventories, inconsistent MFA, and limited evidence that security policies are actually followed.
