Automated evidence collection mapped to HIPAA, PCI-DSS v4.0, SOC 2 Type II, and NIST CSF. Every alert is a compliance record. Monthly PDF reports delivered automatically.
Most businesses treat compliance as a point-in-time audit exercise: scramble to collect evidence, engage consultants, pass the audit, move on. The problem is that modern frameworks don't work that way. SOC 2 Type II requires evidence of operating effectiveness over 6–12 months. HIPAA requires continuous demonstration of implemented safeguards. PCI-DSS v4.0 requires daily review of audit logs. These are not annual snapshot requirements — they are continuous operational requirements.
Without continuous monitoring infrastructure, reconstructing audit evidence is expensive, time-consuming, and often incomplete. ARIA solves this by making compliance evidence a byproduct of the security monitoring you're already running — not a separate project you scramble to complete before an audit.
HIPAA's Security Rule has three categories of safeguards: administrative, physical, and technical. ARIA addresses the technical safeguard requirements directly.
Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) are included for all HIPAA-covered clients at no additional cost. ARIA processes health-related telemetry as a business associate and operates under the BAA terms required by the Security Rule.
PCI-DSS v4.0 (effective March 2024) tightened logging and monitoring requirements significantly compared to v3.2.1. The changes most relevant to small businesses with cardholder data environments are in Requirements 10 and 11.
Type I is a point-in-time snapshot: as of date X, your controls exist and are designed appropriately. Type II tests operating effectiveness over 6–12 months: did those controls actually work during the period? Enterprise procurement almost universally requires Type II — and most startups don't realize that until a Fortune 500 prospect asks for it in due diligence.
For SOC 2 Type II, you need 6–12 months of continuous, timestamped, organized evidence that your security controls operated as designed. Without monitoring infrastructure, you reconstruct this retroactively — at consulting rates, with incomplete records, and with real gaps in the evidence chain. Auditors notice gaps.
ARIA provides: continuous timestamped event logs with chain-of-custody integrity, alert-to-verdict trails (showing the control operated and what happened), monthly security reports with trust service criteria mapping, and an evidence package your auditor can use directly. ARIA doesn't certify you — qualified auditors do that — but ARIA is the operational layer that makes Type II achievable without a dedicated security engineering team.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the broadest alignment target and maps to virtually all other frameworks. ARIA's coverage tracks the five CSF functions.
| Function | What ARIA Provides |
|---|---|
| Identify | Asset inventory via agent deployment (every monitored device is catalogued). Risk context from OSINT enrichment populates your risk register with real threat intelligence. |
| Protect | Detection rules that enforce access control policies. File integrity monitoring for system integrity. Baseline establishment for behavioral anomaly detection. |
| Detect | Continuous 24/7 monitoring across all surfaces. MITRE ATT&CK-mapped alerts with technique coverage documentation. Anomaly detection relative to behavioral baseline. |
| Respond | Human-gated playbook execution. Incident timeline documentation. Client notification with structured incident reports. Analyst decision records. |
| Recover | Post-incident reports with timeline reconstruction. Evidence packages for insurance and regulatory notification. Coverage gap analysis after confirmed incidents. |

Book Free Assessment View PricingNo single tool makes you HIPAA compliant. HIPAA requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards — ARIA addresses the technical monitoring piece. You still need a compliance officer, written policies and procedures, workforce training, physical access controls, and a risk management program. ARIA makes the technical safeguard piece significantly easier to implement and document, and provides the continuous monitoring evidence that supports your risk analysis. If you need help with the full HIPAA program, we can refer you to compliance consultants who specialize in healthcare.
Monthly PDF reports are generated automatically and delivered by email on the first business day of each month. Ad-hoc reports can be requested at any time from your account contact. Audit evidence packages — comprehensive exports organized by control requirement — are generated on-request for active audit periods, typically within one business day of the request.
No. ARIA provides the technical monitoring infrastructure and continuous evidence collection layer. Compliance consultants (QSAs for PCI-DSS, CPAs for SOC 2, healthcare compliance attorneys for HIPAA) provide the interpretive and assessment layer that determines whether your program meets the framework requirements. ARIA makes your consultant's job significantly more efficient — there is organized, timestamped evidence to hand over rather than raw logs to reconstruct — which typically reduces consulting hours and therefore cost.
Type I is a point-in-time assessment: as of a specific date, your controls are designed appropriately and exist as described. Type II tests operating effectiveness over 6–12 months: did those controls actually work during the observation period? Enterprise procurement almost always requires Type II because Type I only proves the controls existed on one day — it says nothing about whether they were actually operating. ARIA provides the continuous monitoring evidence that Type II requires, making the observation period practical to satisfy without a dedicated security engineering team.
Yes. The same underlying monitoring data maps to multiple frameworks simultaneously. A single ARIA deployment generates HIPAA §164.312(b) audit trail evidence, PCI-DSS Requirement 10 event logs, and SOC 2 CC7 monitoring records from the same event stream — without separate tools, separate data pipelines, or separate monitoring configurations. Evidence packages can be exported in framework-specific formats for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 from a single audit request.
