Frequently Asked Questions

Your applicable frameworks depend on your industry and data types. HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and their business associates. SOX applies to publicly traded companies and subsidiaries. OSHA applies to virtually all US employers. GDPR applies to any organization handling EU residents' data. PCI-DSS applies to any business accepting card payments. SEC/FINRA applies to broker-dealers, investment advisers, and public companies. Many businesses are subject to multiple frameworks simultaneously.
A compliance risk assessment systematically identifies gaps between your current practices and regulatory requirements. It quantifies your penalty exposure and prioritizes remediation actions. Regulators — including OCR (HIPAA), SEC (SOX), OSHA, and payment card brands — all require or strongly recommend regular risk assessments as part of a documented compliance program. An undocumented risk assessment is itself a compliance finding in most frameworks.
Compliance Pulse scores are calibrated against publicly available enforcement data, regulatory guidance, and audit finding patterns. They are designed to surface your most critical gaps and provide directional accuracy — not to certify compliance or replace a formal compliance assessment. A higher score (0–100) indicates greater risk exposure. Always review results with qualified legal or compliance counsel. See our AI Disclaimer for full scope limitations.
Penalties vary by framework: HIPAA — up to $2.13M per violation category per year (45 CFR §160.404). SOX — civil penalties up to $5M, criminal penalties up to $5M + 20 years. OSHA — serious violations up to $16,550/citation; willful/repeated up to $165,514/citation. GDPR — up to €20M or 4% of global annual turnover. PCI-DSS — $5K–$100K/month per payment brand until compliant. SEC — Tier III civil penalties $215,000+ per violation (2024 adjusted).
No. All framework assessments are free and require no account. Results are generated instantly in your browser — no data is transmitted unless you choose to email or save your results. Creating a free account lets you track your score history and access saved results.
Yes. Each framework assessment is independent. If your organization is subject to multiple frameworks — for example, a publicly traded healthcare company subject to both SOX and HIPAA — run each assessment separately to get a complete picture of your cross-framework risk exposure. The Compliance Readiness Quiz also covers all frameworks in a single 20-question diagnostic.
