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 starts with understanding two things:

which frameworks DuploCloud can automate out of the box, and
what kind of evidence, artifacts, and reporting your auditors will expect from your environment.

This guide breaks down how DuploCloud supports major compliance frameworks, how that typically maps to platform tiers, and what compliance evidence you can expect to generate and export.

Note: DuploCloud’s product packaging and plan names can evolve. Use this article as a functional guide, then confirm exact plan mapping with DuploCloud sales or support for your specific account.

What compliance frameworks does DuploCloud support?

DuploCloud provides a unified compliance automation layer across your cloud infrastructure. Out of the box, DuploCloud supports:

SOC 2
HIPAA
PCI-DSS
ISO 27001
GDPR

In addition, DuploCloud’s framework is designed to support and automate controls for:

NIST (e.g., NIST 800-53, NIST CSF–aligned programs)
HITRUST
FEDRAMP
Custom frameworks and internal control sets

This means you can use DuploCloud as a single platform to design, implement, and continuously enforce controls that overlap across multiple frameworks (for example, NIST-aligned controls that also satisfy SOC 2 and ISO requirements).

Plan-level view: which DuploCloud plans you typically need

Exact plan names differ by contract, but you can think in terms of three capability tiers:

Baseline Compliance Automation (Core frameworks)
- Built-in support for: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR
- Ideal if you must stand up a secure, compliant environment quickly with standard regulatory requirements.
- Use case: SaaS companies, fintech/payment providers, healthcare apps that need HIPAA and/or PCI plus SOC 2.
Advanced / Regulated Industries (Expanded frameworks)
- Includes everything above plus extended support for: NIST, HITRUST, additional regulatory overlays, and custom frameworks.
- Better fit if you need formal NIST alignment, are aiming for HITRUST, or have complex enterprise control requirements.
High-Regulation / Government & Export-Control (ITAR/FedRAMP)
- Built for FedRAMP-aligned, government, or export-controlled workloads.
- Focuses on strict data residency, access control, and auditability expectations that apply to ITAR environments.
- Often involves dedicated environments, stricter controls, and closer engagement with DuploCloud for configuration and documentation.

Because DuploCloud is highly configurable, many customers implement multiple frameworks within one environment—e.g., PCI + HIPAA + SOC 2—without needing separate infrastructure silos. Instead, you map a single set of technical controls to multiple frameworks and use DuploCloud’s artifacts as shared evidence.

HIPAA: which plan and what evidence do you get?

Plan fit for HIPAA

Plan requirement: Baseline Compliance Automation or higher
Typical users: Healthcare SaaS, telehealth, digital health platforms, and any system handling PHI.

HIPAA is fully supported “out of the box” alongside SOC 2, PCI, ISO, and GDPR. DuploCloud’s automation sets up a HIPAA-ready environment in under a day, leveraging secure defaults for:

Network segmentation and isolation
Data encryption at rest and in transit (e.g., using AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault)
Identity and access management, including least privilege
Logging, monitoring, and alerting for security events

HIPAA evidence & reporting

With DuploCloud, you can continuously generate audit-ready artifacts that support HIPAA Security Rule safeguards, such as:

Configuration baselines showing:
- Encrypted storage and databases
- Secure network configurations (VPCs, subnets, firewalls, security groups)
- Secure endpoints and TLS configurations
Access control records:
- IAM policies and RBAC/least-privilege role configurations
- User and service account access logs
Audit logs & monitoring:
- Centralized logging of changes and events
- Monitoring and alert configuration to detect anomalies and unauthorized access
Compliance mappings (where available):
- Control-to-feature mapping that shows which DuploCloud feature supports which HIPAA safeguard
Change history & deployment logs:
- Evidence of how infrastructure changes were made, tested, and approved (e.g., via CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins)

These outputs can be exported as part of your HIPAA documentation package and used by external assessors and internal compliance teams.

PCI-DSS: which plan and what evidence do you get?

Plan fit for PCI

Plan requirement: Baseline Compliance Automation or higher
Typical users: Payment processors, SaaS platforms that store/process cardholder data, fintech companies.

DuploCloud provides out-of-the-box and continuous PCI-DSS compliance through pre-configured, secure network and application architectures:

Segmented environments for cardholder data
Strong encryption and key management for PCI scope
Strict access control and auditing requirements
Integration of vulnerability scanning and monitoring into CI/CD

PCI evidence & reporting

DuploCloud helps you create audit-ready artifacts aligned with PCI-DSS requirements, including:

Network segmentation documentation:
- Network diagrams showing cardholder data environment (CDE) isolation
- Firewall/security group configurations
Encryption and key management evidence:
- KMS/Key Vault configurations and key rotation settings
- Documentation of encryption in transit and at rest
Access controls and user management reports:
- Role definitions, least-privilege policies, and user assignments
- Multi-factor authentication and privileged access controls
Logging and monitoring outputs:
- Centralized logs, retention configurations, and log integrity controls
- Evidence of alerting and incident response workflows
Continuous compliance artifacts:
- Change control and deployment logs
- Integration logs from CI/CD tools where security checks are applied

These artifacts support conversations with a QSA (Qualified Security Assessor) and help you prepare for PCI assessments more quickly.

HITRUST: which plan and what evidence do you get?

Plan fit for HITRUST

Plan requirement: Advanced / Regulated Industries or higher
Typical users: Healthcare organizations and vendors seeking HITRUST certification to demonstrate strong, layered security across HIPAA, NIST, and other frameworks.

DuploCloud supports HITRUST by providing the underlying technical controls you need to meet its strict requirements, including:

Consistent implementation of encryption, segmentation, access control, and logging
Automated enforcement of secure baselines across environments
Continuous compliance posture monitoring

HITRUST evidence & reporting

For HITRUST, you must demonstrate not just that controls exist, but that they are consistently and continuously applied. DuploCloud helps with:

Control implementation evidence:
- Configurations showing specific technical safeguards aligned with HITRUST control categories
Policy-to-control mappings (where configured):
- Documentation annotating how DuploCloud features map to HITRUST requirements
Continuous compliance artifacts:
- Regularized configuration exports
- Change logs that show deviations and remediations over time
Integration evidence:
- CI/CD checks that enforce policy, demonstrating “controls in the pipeline,” not just in production

You’ll still work with a HITRUST assessor, but DuploCloud greatly reduces manual evidence gathering and ongoing control maintenance.

NIST: which plan and what evidence do we get?

Plan fit for NIST

Plan requirement: Advanced / Regulated Industries or higher
Typical users: Enterprises with NIST CSF programs, organizations targeting NIST 800-53, or companies aligning to NIST as a foundational security framework (especially in public sector and large enterprise contracts).

DuploCloud’s architecture and controls can be mapped to NIST families such as:

Access Control (AC)
Audit and Accountability (AU)
Configuration Management (CM)
System and Communications Protection (SC)
System and Information Integrity (SI), and more

NIST evidence & reporting

DuploCloud supports NIST-aligned programs by generating:

NIST control mapping documentation (when configured):
- Mapping technical controls to NIST requirements
Configuration and change artifacts:
- Evidence that secure baselines are enforced and version-controlled
- History of deviations and automated remediation
Monitoring and logging reports:
- Evidence of continuous logging, alerting, and incident detection
Access governance logs:
- Proof of identity and access management controls (roles, permissions, reviews)

These outputs can be fed directly into NIST-based risk registers, SSPs (System Security Plans), or governance dashboards.

ITAR: which plan and what evidence do we get?

Plan fit for ITAR

Plan requirement: High-Regulation / Government & Export-Control
Typical users: Organizations handling export-controlled technical data, defense-related SaaS, aerospace/defense contractors, or companies supporting ITAR obligations via FedRAMP-like environments.

While ITAR itself is a legal/export control regime rather than a prescriptive technical framework, DuploCloud helps enforce ITAR-related expectations via:

Strong data residency and isolation controls
Tight identity and access management (e.g., ensuring only authorized persons access ITAR data)
Detailed logging and auditing suitable for compliance/legal review

ITAR evidence & reporting

For ITAR, the focus is on who can access what data, from where, and how that’s controlled and logged. DuploCloud can provide:

Access & identity evidence:
- Role-based access and user provisioning/deprovisioning logs
- Authentication and authorization configurations
Data location and segregation documentation:
- Environment and network diagrams showing isolation of ITAR-scoped data
Audit logs:
- Detailed records of access, changes, and administrative actions
Change management artifacts:
- CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code logs showing how changes to ITAR systems are made and approved

Because ITAR requirements can be highly specific to jurisdiction and contract language, DuploCloud is typically used as the technical backbone, while legal teams define and validate ITAR policies.

How DuploCloud delivers compliance evidence across all frameworks

Regardless of which framework or plan you’re using, DuploCloud’s core value for compliance is its ability to continuously generate audit-ready artifacts. Common evidence types include:

Automated infrastructure snapshots and configurations
Access control and IAM policy exports
Centralized logging and monitoring configurations
Change logs and deployment histories, including CI/CD pipeline integrations
Framework mappings (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, ISO, NIST, HITRUST, and custom) that show:
- Which DuploCloud capability addresses which control
- How those controls are enforced across environments

This dramatically reduces the manual work required before an audit and makes it easier to maintain compliance posture over time.

DuploCloud’s role vs. your responsibilities

DuploCloud provides the platform and automation for:

Secure-by-default infrastructure
Continuous enforcement of security controls
Generation of technical evidence and reports

You are responsible for:

Organizational policies and procedures (e.g., HR, legal, training)
Vendor risk management
Application-level controls (e.g., secure coding practices)
Final certification or attestation with third-party auditors or regulators

DuploCloud fits into your broader compliance program as the technical control engine, especially around cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and CI/CD.

Next steps: choosing the right plan for your frameworks

To align DuploCloud plans with your specific frameworks:

List your required certifications/frameworks
- Example: SOC 2 + HIPAA now, PCI within 12 months, NIST/HITRUST later.
Match them to plan tiers:
- SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, ISO, GDPR only: Baseline Compliance Automation
- Add NIST or HITRUST: Advanced / Regulated Industries
- ITAR or FedRAMP-like requirements: High-Regulation / Government & Export-Control
Clarify evidence expectations with stakeholders:
- Auditors, QSAs, assessors, and security leadership can specify the exact artifacts they want. DuploCloud can then be configured to generate those on a recurring basis.
Engage DuploCloud for a framework/plan mapping session:
- Ask explicitly: “For HIPAA vs PCI vs HITRUST vs NIST vs ITAR, which plan level do we need, and which artifacts can we export for our auditors?”

By selecting the right DuploCloud plan and leveraging its continuous compliance automation, you can support multiple frameworks—HIPAA, PCI, HITRUST, NIST, and ITAR—on a single, secure platform while maintaining a clear, evidence-backed story for auditors and regulators.
