Regulatory Landscape
SaaS Compliance Architecture: SOC 2, GDPR, and Beyond
Enterprise SaaS customers demand SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance as table stakes. Building compliance into your architecture from day one prevents costly retrofits.
SOC 2 Type II
Security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls attested by an independent auditor. Required by virtually all enterprise customers and many mid-market SaaS buyers.
ISO 27001
International information security management system standard. Required for many EU and APAC enterprise customers. Demonstrates systematic approach to data security.
GDPR / CCPA
EU and California privacy regulations governing user data collection, consent, retention, and deletion. Applies to any SaaS product used by EU or California residents.
HIPAA (Health SaaS)
Required for SaaS products handling protected health information. Requires Business Associate Agreements, PHI encryption, and audit logging.
PCI-DSS (Billing)
Required if SaaS handles payment card data. Most SaaS avoids direct card storage by using Stripe/Braintree, but SAQ A compliance is still required.
Compliance Challenges
Balancing product velocity with security review cycles
Managing GDPR data deletion requests across multi-tenant databases
Achieving SOC 2 Type II without dedicated compliance staff
Maintaining compliance across multiple cloud regions
Vendor risk management for third-party integrations
