Get audit-ready — and actually hardened, not just documented

Senior US engineers implement the controls auditors look for and harden the systems behind them: SOC 2 and PCI-DSS readiness, CIS-benchmark hardening, least-privilege access, audit logging and evidence collection. We're the engineers who put the controls in place and prepare your systems for the audit — not an accredited firm that issues the certificate. That's your auditor's job; making sure you pass it is ours.

What we do

The controls, implemented — and the evidence to prove it

We map your target framework to concrete technical controls, harden your systems to meet them, and leave behind the artifacts an auditor asks for. Honest scope: we prepare and harden — your accredited auditor issues the certification.

SOC 2 & PCI-DSS Readiness

A gap assessment against the Trust Services Criteria or PCI-DSS requirements, then the engineering work to close each gap — so you walk into your audit with the controls already operating, not on a wish list.

Security Hardening to CIS Benchmarks

OS, container, database and network hardening against CIS benchmarks — disabling what shouldn't run, tightening what must, and verifying the baseline holds. Pairs with our security hardening and SSL/TLS work.

Access Controls & Least Privilege

Role-based access, enforced MFA, SSO where it fits, and a real review of who can reach what. We strip standing admin access down to what each role actually needs and document the model.

Audit Logging & Evidence Collection

Centralized, tamper-resistant logging with sane retention, plus the recurring evidence auditors expect — access reviews, change records, config snapshots — captured as a repeatable process, not a scramble the week before.

Vulnerability Management

Automated scanning, patch cadence and a triage process that ranks findings by real exposure — so remediation is prioritized and provable, and CVEs don't sit open past their SLA.

Secrets Management & Policies

Credentials moved out of code and configs into a vault with rotation and scoped access — see secrets management — plus the written policies and runbooks that turn "we do this" into "here's the documented control."

Why DropinAdmin

Engineers who implement controls, not consultants who list them

A readiness checklist is easy to hand over. Making the systems actually meet it — and keep meeting it — is the work. That's the part we do, on the same infrastructure we already run for you.

We do the remediation, not just the report

Most compliance help stops at a spreadsheet of gaps. We hand you that too — then close the gaps ourselves: hardening hosts, wiring up logging, tightening access and vaulting secrets, as code you keep.

Insured, senior US engineers

Every engagement is delivered by senior US-based engineers and backed by $1M Tech E&O & Cyber Liability insurance — meaningful coverage your security and legal teams can vet before granting access.

We work alongside your auditor

We're straight about the line: an accredited auditor issues the certification, not us. We get your controls and evidence into shape, then answer the auditor's technical questions so the assessment goes smoothly.

Compliance that survives the audit

Point-in-time hardening rots. We build the controls as repeatable processes — scanning, patch cadence, access reviews, evidence capture — so you stay audit-ready between assessments, not just the week before.

Get audit-ready

Tell us what you need to pass — we'll get you there

SOC 2, PCI-DSS, a security questionnaire from a big customer, or just hardening you know is overdue. Tell us the target and where things stand, and we'll scope the gap and the work. Senior US engineers, $1M Tech E&O & Cyber Liability insured.
