Meridian Standards & Operations designs compliance architecture for B2B SaaS companies preparing for PCI DSS, SOC 2, and enterprise buyer scrutiny.
Schedule a Discovery CallYour team passed a few security questionnaires by pulling answers together manually. A bank partner just asked about your PCI status. An enterprise prospect wants to see your SOC 2 report. You have smart engineers who care about security, but no structured control framework underneath it.
Compliance has been reactive. You know it needs to become deliberate. The question is where to start without over-investing in frameworks you may not need or under-scoping the ones you do.
We do not begin with a checklist or an audit timeline. We start with your product architecture, your data flows, and the trust expectations of the buyers you are selling to. From there, we build forward.
Map data flows, cloud infrastructure, and third-party dependencies to define what is actually in scope.
Match your environment to the right framework requirements. PCI, SOC 2, or both. No over-scoping.
Design and implement controls that fit how your product actually operates, not how a template assumes it does.
Establish ongoing governance so compliance stays current as you scale, raise, and onboard new partners.
Data flow analysis, PCI scoping, cloud governance review, third-party risk mapping, data flow diagrams, and a 90-day compliance roadmap tailored to your product and buyer requirements. Includes AWS IAM, logging, encryption, and access governance review.
SAQ determination, gap assessment, control implementation guidance, QSA coordination, and evidence preparation. Scoped to your actual cardholder data environment, not a generic template.
Trust Services Criteria mapping, access governance, logging and monitoring controls, vendor risk program design, business continuity formalization, and full audit preparation.
Ongoing retainer for continuous control monitoring, security questionnaire support, executive reporting, and quarterly risk reviews. Compliance stays operational, not just documented.
Most compliance consultants hand you a controls spreadsheet built from a generic template. We start with scope clarity because the majority of wasted compliance spend comes from misunderstanding what is actually in scope. We understand payment architecture, tokenization models, and the cloud infrastructure patterns fintech products are built on. We design controls around how your product operates, not how an auditor imagines it does.
If your product uses machine learning for decisioning, fraud detection, or underwriting, auditors and enterprise buyers are beginning to ask about model governance, data lineage, and algorithmic risk. We help you address those questions before they surface in diligence or audit.
