Introduction (Client & Context)

As a fast-scaling telehealth provider, SteadyMD had to meet rigorous regulatory requirements—HIPAA for patient data protection, and SOC 2 for trust and transparency. But their existing infrastructure wasn’t built for compliance at scale. Security controls were patchy, documentation was fragmented, and production risks loomed large. They didn’t need more red tape. They needed a partner who could embed compliance into the DNA of their systems—without slowing them down.

The CONFLICT Approach

We approached compliance the same way we approach engineering: with precision, speed, and strategy. Using AWS-native tools, Terraform, and real DevSecOps principles, we fortified SteadyMD’s infrastructure—implementing strict IAM policies, encrypted networking layers, secure logging, and automated policy enforcement. Our approach wasn’t just technical; we helped map operational practices to audit frameworks, making sure their HIPAA and SOC 2 controls were both documented and provable. This wasn’t checkbox compliance. It was infrastructure built to defend itself.

Results & Impact

• Passed HIPAA audits and SOC 2 readiness assessments with confidence • Hardened AWS environments with least-privilege access and encrypted infrastructure • Shifted from ad-hoc security to automated, auditable policy enforcement • Reduced time spent on compliance busywork by engineering it into the platform itself • No slowdown in product velocity—just smarter, safer systems Compliance stopped being a blocker. It became a strength.

Conclusion & Testimonial Quote

“We didn’t want to choose between velocity and compliance—and with CONFLICT, we didn’t have to. They helped us architect systems that pass audits without sacrificing speed. Now our cloud is secure, our logs are tight, and we sleep better at night.” — Patrick Evans, VPE, SteadyMD Through friction, we engineered trust.
