A compliance officer who knows your business.

Your Highwatch officer works alongside your team, gets familiar with how your company operates, and takes responsibility for your compliance program. They're involved in the day-to-day work, not just when an audit comes around.

Building your compliance program
Policies, risk assessments, controls, and processes designed around how your company actually operates.
Preparing for audits
SOC 2 Type I and II, HIPAA, and other framework readiness. We organize the evidence, coordinate with auditors, and help you get through the process.
Supporting enterprise deals
Security questionnaires, customer reviews, and due diligence handled by someone who knows your compliance program inside and out.
Keeping things running
Access reviews, vendor assessments, employee training, and all the recurring work that keeps your program in good shape.

The software behind the work.

Your officer uses Highwatch's platform to monitor controls, manage evidence, track requests, and keep your program on schedule. You get visibility into what's happening without having to manage another compliance tool yourself.

  1. Continuous monitoring

    Highwatch connects to your existing compliance tools and flags issues that need attention, so we can address them before they become audit problems.

  2. Faster security questionnaires

    Highwatch drafts questionnaire responses using your policies and supporting evidence. Your officer reviews the answers before they're sent.

  3. Organized evidence

    Security policies, screenshots, reports, and audit evidence stored securely in one place, ready when you need them.

  4. Recurring work

    Access reviews, vendor assessments, training, and other recurring tasks are scheduled, assigned, and tracked through completion.

  5. Visibility for you

    Check on your program, submit requests, review documents, and approve changes without digging through emails or Slack threads.
