‍

Customer Profile

• Advisory firm delivering compliance readiness programs for enterprise clients
• Regularly asked to scope new certification efforts on short timelines
• Needs repeatable outputs for clients across multiple industries

‍

The Challenge

• Clients were SOC 2-ready but wanted ISO / PCI / CMMC next
• Consultants needed to identify overlap vs. net-new requirements
• Manual framework research made scoping slow and inconsistent
• Roadmaps required weeks of mapping work before planning could begin

‍

How They Used CMAI

• Submitted existing control descriptions and evidence summaries
• Mapped SOC 2-aligned controls into target frameworks
• Identified partial coverage and missing control areas automatically
• Produced a gap analysis grouped by control family
• Generated a roadmap with prioritized remediation sequences

‍

Implementation Pattern

SOC 2 Control Set + Policies → CMAI API → ISO/CMMC/PCI Gap Analysis + Roadmap Output

‍

Results Delivered

• ‍Weeks → Hours for framework cross-walking‍
• More Accurate Scoping and cleaner project proposals‍
• Higher Delivery Throughput without increasing headcount

‍

Why This Was a Fit

They needed deterministic cross-framework mapping that could scale across client engagements without hiring specialists for every compliance standard.
