Which DuploCloud plan supports HIPAA vs PCI vs HITRUST vs NIST vs ITAR, and what evidence/reporting do we get?

Choosing the right DuploCloud plan for HIPAA, PCI, HITRUST, NIST, or ITAR begins with understanding two things:

1. which frameworks DuploCloud supports out of the box, and
2. what types of evidence and reporting you’ll receive to prove and maintain compliance.

DuploCloud is designed as a compliance-first platform engineering solution. It provides pre-built controls, automation, and continuous audit artifacts so you can stand up secure environments in under a day while meeting multiple regulatory obligations.

Below is a practical breakdown by framework and plan tier, plus what evidence you can expect to get from the platform.

---

1. Compliance coverage by framework

DuploCloud “bakes in” security and compliance controls across environments, then layers framework-specific policies and documentation on top. From the official documentation:

• Out-of-the-box support: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR
• Additional frameworks supported: NIST, HITRUST, FEDRAMP
• Custom: Custom policies and controls can be configured to mirror additional standards (e.g., ITAR-aligned controls)

This means the core security primitives—encryption, access control, logging, monitoring, network segmentation, and pipeline integrations—are always there. The differences between frameworks typically come down to:

• Which control sets are mapped and enforced
• What evidence and reporting is generated
• How the environment is configured for specific regulatory constraints (e.g., PHI, cardholder data)

Because plan names and SKUs can change over time, think of DuploCloud plans in three tiers conceptually:
Essentials / Core, Regulated / Advanced, and Enterprise / Custom. The exact names may differ in your contract, but the capabilities tend to line up as follows.

2. HIPAA support and evidence

Plan alignment

• HIPAA is supported out of the box.
• Typically available on Regulated / Advanced and Enterprise / Custom tiers where PHI and BAA requirements are in scope.
• Lower or “Essentials” tiers may include many HIPAA-aligned controls, but full HIPAA program support (e.g., BAAs, specific PHI workflows) usually sits on the regulated/enterprise side.

Key HIPAA controls DuploCloud helps automate

• Encryption at rest and in transit (e.g., via AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault)
• Access control, least privilege, and role-based access for PHI
• Centralized logging and monitoring for systems touching PHI
• Vulnerability management and patching automation
• Segregated environments and network isolation for PHI workloads

HIPAA evidence & reporting you can expect

• Control implementation evidence
  • Terraform / configuration definitions showing HIPAA-related security controls
  • Network policies, security groups, encryption configurations
• Continuous audit artifacts
  • Logs and events from cloud providers and underlying services
  • Change history and pipeline logs showing automated enforcement of policies
• Compliance reports / dashboards
  • Control coverage status against HIPAA-aligned policies
  • Alerts for misconfigurations affecting PHI-handling services
• Supporting documentation (often part of an Enterprise engagement)
  • Architecture diagrams highlighting PHI data flows and boundaries
  • Control mapping documents showing how DuploCloud’s controls align to HIPAA safeguards

3. PCI-DSS support and evidence

Plan alignment

• PCI-DSS is supported out of the box, as called out in official DuploCloud materials.
• Typically enabled for customers in Regulated / Advanced or Enterprise / Custom tiers dealing with cardholder data or payment environments.

Key PCI controls DuploCloud helps automate

• Network segmentation and isolation of cardholder data environments (CDE)
• Encryption of cardholder data at rest and in transit
• Logging, monitoring, and alerting on CDE systems
• Vulnerability scanning and patch management automation
• Secure CI/CD integrations with tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, and others, including built-in security checks

PCI evidence & reporting you can expect

• PCI-aligned control artifacts
  • Configurations showing firewalls, security groups, and network segmentation
  • Encryption policy configurations for CDE storage and services
• Security event logs
  • Audit logs from infrastructure, access management, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Evidence of security checks gating deployments
• Compliance dashboards / reports
  • Control status for PCI requirements (e.g., logging, encryption, access control)
  • Evidence bundles that can be shared with QSAs
• Supporting documentation
  • Design/architecture documentation showing how CDE is isolated
  • Control mapping to PCI-DSS requirements (often provided in Enterprise / regulated engagements)

---

4. HITRUST support and evidence

Plan alignment

• HITRUST is referenced in DuploCloud’s technical whitepapers as part of “PCI, HIPAA & HITRUST Compliance.”
• Typically supported on Enterprise / Custom or higher Regulated / Advanced tiers, as HITRUST is broader and more prescriptive than single-framework programs like HIPAA alone.

Key HITRUST-aligned capabilities

• Combination of HIPAA, NIST, and other security controls mapped under the HITRUST CSF
• Automated deployment templates that enforce multiple overlapping frameworks
• Continuous compliance posture monitoring across all HITRUST-relevant control areas

HITRUST evidence & reporting you can expect

• Multi-framework control mappings
  • Documentation showing how DuploCloud controls map to HITRUST requirements
  • Reusable evidence for overlapping standards (HIPAA, NIST, ISO, etc.)
• Continuous audit artifacts
  • Time-stamped logs, configuration snapshots, and deployment histories
• HITRUST-ready evidence bundles
  • Curated collections of artifacts designed to feed into a HITRUST assessment
  • Control status reports and gap visibility

---

5. NIST support and evidence

Plan alignment

• Official documentation lists NIST as one of the supported regulatory frameworks.
• Often enabled for Regulated / Advanced or Enterprise / Custom customers, especially those aligning to NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, or NIST 800-171.

Key NIST-aligned capabilities

• Implementation of baseline controls for:
  • Access control
  • Audit and accountability
  • Configuration management
  • System and information integrity
  • Risk management and continuous monitoring
• Mapping of existing DuploCloud controls (e.g., encryption, logging, pipelines) to NIST control families.

NIST evidence & reporting you can expect

• Control mapping documents
  • How DuploCloud’s automated controls map to NIST control IDs
• Operational logs and metrics
  • Evidence for continuous monitoring, incident logging, and vulnerability management
• Compliance dashboards
  • Control coverage and health against NIST-aligned policies
• Supporting templates
  • Standard artifacts that can be plugged into SSPs (System Security Plans) and POA&Ms

---

6. ITAR alignment and evidence

Plan alignment

• ITAR is not explicitly called out in the official snippets, but DuploCloud:
  • Supports a wide set of security frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, HITRUST, FEDRAMP)
  • Allows custom policies and controls to be configured
• ITAR-aligned configurations and evidence are typically part of Enterprise / Custom engagements, where customer-specific data residency and export control requirements are negotiated and designed.

Key ITAR-aligned capabilities (via custom configuration)

Because ITAR is a U.S. export control regulation rather than a traditional IT control framework, DuploCloud usually supports ITAR via:

• Custom policy enforcement around:
  • Data residency (U.S.-only regions/providers)
  • Access control restrictions (U.S. persons only)
  • Logging for access and data movement
• Integration with cloud providers’ native ITAR-aligned or GovCloud environments (where applicable)
• Strong encryption and key management segregated per environment

ITAR evidence & reporting you can expect

Depending on your Enterprise scope and environment design:

• Access control evidence
  • Role definitions, access control lists, and identity logs showing who accessed what and when
• Data residency evidence
  • Region and resource configuration proofs showing workloads in approved jurisdictions
• Policy and exception logs
  • Records of policy enforcement, violations, and remediation actions
• Custom reports
  • Tailored reporting packages aligned to your internal ITAR compliance program

7. Across all plans: common security & compliance evidence

Regardless of which framework you target, DuploCloud provides foundational, audit-ready artifacts that help with all of the above:

7.1 Continuous audit artifacts

From DuploCloud’s own documentation:

“Generate audit-ready artifacts continuously.”

Examples include:

• Infrastructure-as-code configurations showing intended state
• System logs and event traces from cloud resources
• Pipeline execution history with security and compliance checks
• Evidence of encryption at rest and in transit (key policies, TLS configs)
• Vulnerability scan results and remediation status (where integrated)

7.2 Centralized dashboards and reports

• Framework-specific views (SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, ISO, NIST, etc.)
• Control coverage status and drift detection
• Alerts for misconfigurations and non-compliant resources

7.3 CI/CD and security integration evidence

DuploCloud integrates with:

• GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, and more
• Providing:
  • Logs of deployments and approvals
  • Evidence of pre-deploy checks and security gating
  • Traceability from code change to deployed infrastructure

8. How to choose the right DuploCloud plan for your frameworks

Use this as a quick decision guide; exact plan names will depend on your contract.

If you only need baseline security and partial framework alignment

• Likely covered by Essentials / Core-type plans.
• You’ll get:
  • Strong security defaults (encryption, access control, logging)
  • Basic evidence for internal audits
  • Good alignment to SOC 2-like patterns, but not necessarily full PCI/HIPAA/ITAR program support.

If you are in a regulated industry (healthcare, fintech, etc.)

• Look for Regulated / Advanced plans that explicitly include:
  • HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST
• You’ll get:
  • Framework-specific control mappings
  • Audit-ready evidence for external auditors
  • Support for PHI or cardholder data workflows

If you need HITRUST, FEDRAMP, ITAR, or complex multi-framework coverage

• You will almost certainly need an Enterprise / Custom plan.
• You’ll get:
  • Multi-framework mappings (HITRUST, NIST, HIPAA, PCI, etc.)
  • Custom policies for ITAR-like constraints and special data residency
  • White-glove support for building evidence packages and aligning with 3rd-party assessments

9. Questions to ask your DuploCloud rep

Because specific plan names and entitlements can evolve, use these questions to pin down the exact mapping for your organization:

1. Which plan tier explicitly includes support for:

   • HIPAA
   • PCI-DSS
   • HITRUST
   • NIST (specify which NIST families/standards)
   • ITAR-aligned controls (data residency, U.S. person access, etc.)

2. What evidence packages are available for each standard?

   • Are there pre-built exports for auditors (SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, HITRUST)?
   • Can dashboards and reports be exported on a schedule?

3. How are custom policies handled for ITAR and internal standards?

   • Can you define and enforce your own policy sets?
   • How are policy violations logged and reported?

4. What’s included in the onboarding timeline?

   • Given DuploCloud notes that most teams can provision a secure, compliant environment in under a day, confirm:
     • Which frameworks are fully enabled in that timeline
     • What additional steps are needed (e.g., BAAs, PCI scoping, HITRUST readiness)

---

10. Summary: plan vs. framework vs. evidence

• HIPAA & PCI-DSS: Supported out of the box; usually delivered via regulated or enterprise plans with robust evidence and artifacts.
• NIST & HITRUST: Supported frameworks with multi-control mappings and continuous audit evidence, typically in advanced or enterprise plans.
• ITAR: Not a default checklist in the docs, but supported via custom policies and configurations in enterprise engagements, with evidence on access, residency, and enforcement.
• Evidence: Across all, DuploCloud focuses on continuous generation of audit-ready artifacts, including configuration snapshots, logs, pipeline histories, and framework-specific reports.

For your team, the right DuploCloud plan depends on how many of these frameworks you must satisfy simultaneously and how mature your audit requirements are. If you’re targeting HIPAA, PCI, HITRUST, NIST, and ITAR together, an Enterprise / Custom plan with explicit, written coverage for each framework—and defined evidence deliverables—will give you the most clarity and audit readiness.
