ThreeShield delivers the whole compliance outcome: automated evidence collection in Lavawall®, expert remediation guidance, and a CISSP/CISA-executed audit. You no longer buy the platform from one vendor, the guidance from another, and the audit from a third.
Most compliance programs involve 4 separate vendors, 3 contract renewals, and a year of work that starts over every 12 months.
Total: $45K-$150K+ annually · Four contracts · Zero continuity
One vendor · Continuous evidence · Lower total cost
Traditional compliance means screenshots, manual interviews, and spreadsheet trackers. Lavawall® removes most of that work.
Lavawall® checks your controls against selected frameworks daily, not once a year. Drift is caught in hours, not discovered at audit time.
Lavawall® collects patch logs, MFA status, access control configurations, encryption state, and 100+ other data points automatically, and timestamps each one as audit evidence.
One control set maps to several frameworks at once. Satisfy a CIS IG2 control and the corresponding HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements are met automatically.
A real-time compliance score for each selected framework. Business leaders see a simple number; technical staff see the control gaps to fix.
Lavawall®'s LLM drafts compliance status reports, remediation summaries, and board-ready security briefings, and a person reviews each one before delivery.
Evidence is collected continuously, so you're prepared when audit time arrives. There's no month-long evidence scramble before each assessment.
Lavawall® GRC covers all major frameworks. Click any framework to see details.
For US-facing healthcare organizations and Canadian companies with US business relationships or data processing. ThreeShield covers the Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. Lavawall® monitors the technical safeguards automatically, and we document the administrative and physical safeguards in full.
For Alberta healthcare custodians: physicians, clinics, PCNs, pharmacy groups, and health tech companies. The Alberta HIA sets specific technical safeguard requirements that many generic compliance platforms don't handle. BC PIPA is also supported for BC-based health organizations.
For SaaS companies, health tech vendors, and any service organization handling client data. Lavawall® monitors the technical controls continuously while ThreeShield's CISSP/CISA team prepares you for the formal AICPA Trust Services Criteria assessment. Type II readiness comes much faster when evidence is collected automatically all year.
Payment Card Industry compliance for merchants, service providers, and healthcare organizations that process payments. ThreeShield supports all SAQ types (A, A-EP, B, B-IP, C, C-VT, and D) with full QSA-equivalent scoping analysis, and Lavawall® monitors your cardholder data environment continuously.
CIS Controls are the most practical starting point for most organizations. Lavawall® was built with CIS in mind and continuously monitors IG1 basic hygiene through IG3 advanced controls. Implementing CIS also meets the baseline requirements of most cyber insurance policies, and clients have reported premiums 12% lower.
NIST CSF gives you the "govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, recover" structure for tying security spending to business risk. Many organizations use it as their primary governance framework and map it to specific compliance requirements. Lavawall® tracks CSF controls continuously.
For US Department of Defense contractors and Canadian companies in the defence supply chain (NORAD, NATO, DND). CMMC 2.0 aligns to NIST SP 800-171 at Level 2 and NIST SP 800-172 at Level 3. ThreeShield has government and defence audit experience at the Fortune 50 and federal level.

The people who do the audit work. Drata and Vanta are strong at evidence collection for SOC 2, but they're software platforms, not auditors, so you still need someone to do the actual audit. For frameworks like HIPAA, Alberta HIA, or PCI DSS, their support is also much weaker than their SOC 2 offering. ThreeShield can work alongside your existing platform, or replace it entirely with Lavawall® GRC at a lower total cost. Because we also execute the audit, you don't need a fourth vendor for that.
An initial gap assessment takes 2-4 weeks. After that, it depends on your starting posture and the target framework. For organizations with reasonable existing controls, SOC 2 Type I readiness typically takes 3-6 months, and Type II requires a 6-12 month observation period (where continuous Lavawall® evidence collection removes most of the scramble). HIPAA and CIS baseline work can move faster: some clients reach an initial certification-ready posture in 60-90 days.
Many organizations do. A healthcare SaaS company, for example, might need SOC 2, HIPAA, and Alberta HIA at the same time. With Lavawall® GRC's multi-framework mapping, one control can satisfy requirements across several frameworks. ThreeShield folds the overlapping requirements into one program instead of running three separate compliance tracks.
Yes. Organizations that can demonstrate CIS IG1/IG2 compliance, MFA enforcement across all systems, tested backup recovery, and continuous monitoring are better placed at renewal, and clients have reported cyber insurance premiums 12% lower. Lavawall® generates the documentation insurers ask for. Lavawall®'s domain scanner finds the same kinds of internet-facing issues insurers' external scans look for, so you can fix them before renewal; clients who did have cut their insurance costs by approximately 12%.
