Many small and mid-size businesses breathe a sigh of relief once they earn a compliance certification, but the work doesn’t stop there. Certifications like SOC 2, ISO, or CMMC aren’t one-time milestones. They’re ongoing commitments that require fresh evidence, updated controls, and regular monitoring.
In this episode, Marie Joseph, Manager of Compliance Advisory at Trava, breaks down the reality of maintaining compliance over time. She discusses why frameworks evolve and how managed compliance services can take the stress off your team’s plate. Plus, she shares common mistakes businesses make during recertification and how to stay audit ready all year long.
