What Is Managed Assurance?
Managed Assurance is Asureti’s ongoing compliance and risk management service that replaces one-time assessments and traditional Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) consulting with a continuous, embedded program. Instead of hiring consultants for short-term fixes or scrambling for audits, Managed Assurance gives you a dedicated team that builds and runs your GRC program day-to-day. It’s designed to keep you ahead of frameworks like SOC2, HITRUST, GDPR, and CMMC without overwhelming your internal resources. You get tailored workflows, technology, and strategic oversight that evolve with your business, so compliance becomes predictable, audits are smoother, and your team can focus on growth instead of firefighting. Take it from Justin—this video sums it up better than any technical explanation:
In today’s fast-moving business environment, organizations face mounting pressure to manage risk, compliance, privacy, and security—while scaling operations and responding to evolving regulations. From HITRUST and SOC 2 to GDPR and CMMC, the complexity of frameworks is growing fast.
But here’s the problem: most teams are under-resourced, overburdened, and stuck in reactive mode.
That’s where Managed Assurance comes in.
When people ask what Managed Assurance is, the answer can get technical—systems, workflows, cloud infrastructure, regulatory frameworks. But at its core, it’s much simpler:
Managed Assurance helps organizations protect data.
Whether it’s navigating regulations, meeting client requirements, or securing cloud systems, Managed Assurance ensures organizations are doing the right thing with the information they handle. It’s about building trust, maintaining transparency, and proving safeguards are in place.
Even though the work is technical, the mission is clear:
- Keep data safe
- Handle it responsibly
- Prove you're doing both
The Managed Assurance Model
Managed Assurance is Asureti’s compliance-as-a-service offering. It’s a scalable, subscription-based solution that combines expert support, proven frameworks, and operational execution—without expanding internal headcount.
Think of it as GRC with a team, not just a tool.
Whether you're starting with HITRUST or juggling multiple frameworks, Managed Assurance adapts to your needs and grows with your business.
Sometimes, organizations know what the “right thing” is but need help executing. Other times, they’re facing new challenges—expansion, regulation, disruption—and need a partner to guide them through.
Why It Matters
In today’s digital landscape, trust is everything. Managed Assurance helps organizations build and maintain that trust by aligning operations with best practices in data protection, compliance, and governance.
It’s not about checking boxes—it’s about building a culture of accountability and resilience.

FAQ:
Who is Managed Assurance designed for?
Managed Assurance is built for lean teams, growing companies, and regulated industries that need expert compliance support without hiring a full internal GRC staff.

Asureti’s solution embeds a trusted team, proven workflows, and scalable technology directly into your operations. Whether you're preparing for SOC2, HITRUST, or just trying to mature your risk program, Managed Assurance helps you stay ahead without burnout. The result is predictable compliance, stronger stakeholder trust, and readiness for growth, funding, or M&A.
What does Asureti’s Managed Assurance include?
Managed Assurance includes everything needed to run a full compliance and risk program without building it from scratch internally. Many organizations struggle with fragmented audits, unclear policies, and limited bandwidth.

The result is a scalable, repeatable program that reduces operational risk, simplifies compliance, and builds trust with clients and regulators.
How does Managed Assurance help with audits and certifications?
Managed Assurance helps with audits and certifications by acting as your audit prep partner and compliance operations team. Instead of scrambling before deadlines, Asureti builds and manages your internal controls, organizes audit evidence, and supports you during client inquiries, regulator visits, and in-person audits. The service includes readiness assessments, policy drafting, control testing, and continuous monitoring, all aligned to frameworks like SOC2, HITRUST, ISO, and CMMC. The result is fewer exceptions, faster certifications, and confidence that your organization is always prepared.
How does Asureti’s Managed Assurance model operate on a fixed monthly fee—what does that include, and how predictable is it for budgeting?
Budgeting for compliance is often unpredictable, with hidden costs tied to audits, consultants, and internal staffing gaps. Asureti’s Managed Assurance solves this with a fixed monthly fee that covers everything needed to run your GRC program, risk assessments, privacy and vendor reviews, control testing, audit prep, policy management, and ongoing advisory support. You get a dedicated team, proven workflows, and access to GRC technology without needing to hire or train internally.

Can Managed Assurance scale alongside our organization as our regulatory and compliance needs evolve?
As organizations grow, their compliance needs often become more complex, fragmented, and harder to manage. Asureti’s Managed Assurance is built to scale with you. It adapts to new regulations, business lines, and risk profiles by offering flexible workflows, customizable components, and a team that adjusts as your priorities shift. Whether you're expanding into new markets, facing new audit requirements, or integrating additional systems, the service evolves with your business. The result is a steady-state compliance program that supports growth, reduces risk, and keeps you ahead of regulatory change without needing to rebuild your GRC foundation.
Do you have case studies showing quantifiable results—for example, SOC 2 exception reduction or compliance efficiency gains?
Many organizations face audit fatigue, missed deadlines, and compliance gaps due to limited internal resources and lack of GRC expertise. Asureti’s Managed Assurance has helped clients overcome these challenges by embedding a full compliance program that includes control testing, policy management, and audit prep. In one case study, a SaaS platform company reduced SOC2 report exceptions by 80%, completed annual testing of 182 controls, and implemented a successful Type 1 and Type 2 SOC program in just nine months, all without hiring additional staff. The result was retained client contracts, streamlined audits, and a scalable GRC foundation that supported future growth. You can read more about our case studies here.
