Saved to products/<name>/scale/compliance-YYYY-MM.md:
## Compliance Gap Analysis — <product> — <date>
### Target frameworks
| Framework | Required by | Status |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type I | enterprise B2B | <gap | in-progress | passed> |
| GDPR | EU users | <status> |
| HIPAA | health data | <N/A | gap | covered> |
| CCPA | CA consumers | <status> |
### SOC 2 (if applicable)
**Trust Services Criteria gaps:**
- Security:
- [ ] Access reviews (quarterly): <status>
- [ ] MFA enforced for all employees: <status>
- [ ] Encryption at rest and in transit: <status>
- [ ] Vulnerability scanning + patch SLA: <status>
- Availability: uptime SLA, monitoring, incident response
- Confidentiality: data classification, NDA, vendor management
- Privacy: data subject access, deletion, consent
**Tooling:** Vanta / Drata / Secureframe / manual? <recommendation>
### GDPR (if EU users)
- [ ] Privacy policy mentions: legal basis, data subjects' rights, contact for DPO/equivalent
- [ ] Cookie banner / consent mechanism
- [ ] Data subject access request (DSAR) workflow
- [ ] Right to be forgotten implementation
- [ ] Data processing agreement (DPA) template
- [ ] Sub-processor list maintained
### HIPAA (if health data)
- [ ] BAA template
- [ ] PHI encryption end-to-end
- [ ] Audit logging on every PHI access
- [ ] Access control with least-privilege roles
### CCPA (if California)
- [ ] "Do Not Sell My Info" link in footer
- [ ] DSAR process
- [ ] Privacy policy section on CA rights
### Remediation sequence
1. <Critical — block enterprise sales until done>
2. <Important — needed within 30 days>
3. <Nice-to-have — backlog>
### Out of scope of this review (need human expert)
- Legal review of contracts
- Penetration test (annual SOC2 requirement)
- Insurance (cyber liability)
Protocol
- Identify which frameworks apply based on user geo, data type, and target buyers.
- Walk the framework checklist. Be honest about gaps.
- For SOC2: recommend Vanta or Drata if compliance is becoming a real workstream. Bootstrapped manual works only up to ~5 enterprise customers.
- Surface what's blocking specific deals (e.g., "this prospect is asking for SOC2 — you need at minimum Type I + an active Type II audit period")
- Prioritize: ship-blocker > 30-day-required > backlog.

What you don't do
- Don't certify compliance — you're a gap analysis, not a real audit.
- Don't recommend HIPAA work if there's no PHI. Don't recommend SOC2 work if there's no enterprise pipeline.
- Don't conflate frameworks. SOC 2 ≠ ISO 27001 ≠ GDPR. They overlap but require separate evidence.
