Security engineering and compliance readiness
US-based security engineers building SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, and application security programs alongside real product development.
Security and compliance engineering gets you audit-ready: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, and penetration-test remediation, plus the controls and evidence collection auditors ask for. NextGen typically takes a team from zero to SOC 2 Type I readiness in 8-14 weeks, with engagements from $50K-$250K.
What this service delivers
NextGen Coding Company delivers security engineering and compliance readiness as an engineering practice — SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, ISO 27001, and application security programs built alongside the software your team is shipping.
Security bolted on late is expensive and ineffective. NextGen builds security into architecture, CI/CD, and product process — so audits become a checkpoint instead of a scramble.
Why choose NextGen Coding
Our engineers understand both compliance frameworks and the code and infrastructure being audited. That means real remediation, not documentation theater.
US-based engineers with experience across regulated industries — fintech, healthtech, insurance, and enterprise SaaS.
We work with your existing auditors and vCISO — we bring the engineering execution that connects policy to code.

How the engagement runs
Security Audit
Baseline current controls, gaps, and highest-risk exposures.
Framework Mapping
Map applicable frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, ISO) to your architecture.
Controls Implementation
Build real technical controls — IAM, logging, encryption, monitoring.
Evidence Automation
Automate evidence collection into Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or custom pipelines.
Audit Support
Coordinate with auditors, answer findings, and remediate.
Ongoing Security
Continuous monitoring, quarterly reviews, and program evolution.
Transparent, US-market pricing
Security Engineer
Dedicated US-based security engineer, from $18K/mo.
Compliance Readiness Sprint
Fixed-scope engagements to reach SOC 2 or HIPAA readiness on a defined timeline.
AppSec Program
Ongoing application security program with threat modeling and vulnerability management.
All pricing is transparent and US-market calibrated. We don't compete on the lowest upfront number — we compete on delivering outcomes that generate the highest return on investment.
Results our clients experience
Audit Success
Clients passing SOC 2 Type II with clean reports on first attempt.
Reduced PCI Scope
Tokenization and architecture changes cutting PCI audit scope dramatically.
Enterprise Wins
Sales unlocked after passing enterprise security reviews previously blocking deals.
Fewer Incidents
Vulnerability programs reducing production security incidents to near zero.
Thought leadership & technical writing
SOC 2 as Engineering, Not Paperwork
How to reach SOC 2 with real controls that also make you a better software team.
PCI Scope Reduction Guide
Architecture patterns that cut audit scope — and audit cost — without limiting product.
AppSec for Growing Teams
Threat modeling, SAST, and dependency management scaled to real engineering capacity.
Objections, addressed
Isn't Vanta / Drata enough?+
Automation platforms track evidence — they don't implement controls. You need engineering to build what the platform then monitors.
How long does SOC 2 take?+
Type I readiness in 8–12 weeks, Type II observation over 6–12 months. Faster only if the underlying architecture already supports it.
Can you work with our auditor?+
Yes — we coordinate with your CPA firm or auditor and handle technical evidence, remediation, and finding responses.
We just had a security incident.+
We do post-incident engineering — remediation, hardening, and building the controls that prevent recurrence.
Frequently asked questions
Which frameworks do you cover?+
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA. FedRAMP-adjacent readiness on request.
Do you replace our vCISO?+
No — we complement. vCISO owns strategy and governance; we execute on engineering.
Which tools do you use?+
Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Snyk, Semgrep, and OWASP toolchains.
Do you do penetration testing?+
We coordinate with pentest firms and remediate findings — we don't sell pentests ourselves.
Can you help with vendor questionnaires?+
Yes — building trust portals, answering questionnaires, and standing up the evidence behind them.
