Stop buying a platform from one vendor, compliance guidance from another, and the audit from a third. ThreeShield delivers automated evidence collection via Lavawall®, expert remediation guidance, and CISSP/CISA-executed audit — end to end.
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 requires screenshots, manual interviews, and spreadsheet trackers. Lavawall® eliminates most of that.
Lavawall® checks your controls against selected frameworks daily, not once a year. Drift is caught in hours, not discovered at audit time.
Patch logs, MFA status, access control configurations, encryption state, and 100+ other data points collected automatically and timestamped for audit evidence.
One control set maps to multiple frameworks simultaneously. Satisfying a CIS IG2 control also satisfies corresponding HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements automatically.
Real-time compliance posture score across each selected framework. Business leaders see a simple score; technical staff see actionable control gaps.
Lavawall®'s LLM generates compliance status reports, remediation summaries, and board-ready security briefings — human-reviewed before delivery.
Evidence is collected continuously, so when audit time arrives, you're already ready. 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 with automated technical safeguard monitoring via Lavawall® and full administrative/physical safeguard documentation.
For Alberta healthcare custodians — physicians, clinics, PCNs, pharmacy groups, and health tech companies. The Alberta HIA has specific technical safeguard requirements that many generic compliance platforms don't understand. 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 is dramatically faster when evidence is collected automatically all year.
Payment Card Industry compliance for merchants, service providers, and healthcare organizations processing payments. ThreeShield supports all SAQ types (A, A-EP, B, B-IP, C, C-VT, D) and full QSA-equivalent scoping analysis. Lavawall® provides continuous cardholder data environment monitoring.
CIS Controls are the most practical starting point for most organizations. Lavawall® was built with CIS in mind — IG1 basic hygiene through IG3 advanced controls are monitored continuously. CIS implementation also satisfies the baseline requirements of most cyber insurance policies, often reducing premiums by 10–20%.
NIST CSF provides the "govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, recover" structure that aligns security investments to business risk. Many organizations use NIST CSF 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.
Full ISMS development and certification preparation. Annex A control implementation and internal audit support.
For electric utilities and critical infrastructure. NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards compliance.
Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada cybersecurity guidance for investment dealers and brokers.
BC Financial Services Authority security guidance for credit unions, insurance companies, and financial planners.
CPA Canada Cybersecurity Framework for public accounting and professional services firms.

Drata and Vanta are strong at evidence collection for SOC 2 — but they're software platforms, not auditors. You still need someone to do the actual audit. And for frameworks like HIPAA, Alberta HIA, or PCI DSS, their support is significantly 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. The real differentiator is that we also execute the audit — you don't need a fourth vendor for that.
It depends on your starting posture and the target framework. An initial gap assessment takes 2–4 weeks. For organizations with reasonable existing controls, SOC 2 Type I readiness typically takes 3–6 months; Type II requires a 6–12 month observation period (which is where continuous Lavawall® evidence collection dramatically reduces scramble). HIPAA and CIS baseline work can move faster — some clients achieve an initial certification-ready posture in 60–90 days.
Many organizations do — a healthcare SaaS company might need SOC 2, HIPAA, and Alberta HIA simultaneously. Lavawall® GRC's multi-framework mapping means satisfying a control once can satisfy requirements across multiple frameworks. ThreeShield coordinates the overlapping requirements into a single, unified program rather than running three separate compliance tracks.
Yes — and significantly. Organizations that can demonstrate CIS IG1/IG2 compliance, MFA enforcement across all systems, tested backup recovery, and continuous monitoring typically see 10–20% reductions in cyber insurance premiums. Lavawall® generates the documentation insurers ask for. Some insurers now accept Lavawall® security scores as part of their underwriting questionnaire response.
