Compliance (GDPR/PCI/SOC2)

The Challenge

Regulatory compliance requirements like GDPR, PCI DSS, SOC2, and HIPAA impose strict security controls on web applications that handle customer data. These frameworks mandate specific technical safeguards including encryption in transit, secure HTTP headers, and documented security practices. Non-compliance exposes your business to regulatory fines, failed audits, lost customer trust, and exclusion from enterprise sales opportunities.

Implementing compliance controls often requires deep security expertise and significant development time. Security headers must be configured correctly across all endpoints, SSL/TLS settings need ongoing updates to address new vulnerabilities, and HTTPS enforcement must work reliably without breaking legitimate functionality. Many development teams lack the specialized knowledge to implement these controls properly, leading to misconfigurations that auditors quickly identify.

The compliance landscape constantly evolves, with new requirements emerging and existing standards updating their technical specifications. What passed an audit last year may not satisfy this year’s requirements. Maintaining compliance requires continuous monitoring, updating security configurations as new best practices emerge, and documenting changes for audit purposes—all while shipping new features and managing day-to-day development priorities.

How Expedited Security Helps

Expedited Security provides compliance-ready security controls that implement industry best practices for HTTPS, security headers, and encryption. Our platform handles the technical complexity of security configuration, keeping your application aligned with evolving compliance requirements without requiring specialized security expertise from your development team.

Key Features

  • Security Headers: Automatically implement and manage security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options that satisfy compliance requirements.

  • HTTPS Enforcement: Force all traffic to HTTPS with proper redirect handling, preventing insecure transmissions that violate compliance mandates and expose customer data.

  • Modern SSL/TLS: Configure current SSL/TLS versions and cipher suites that meet compliance standards while deprecating outdated protocols that auditors flag as vulnerabilities.

  • Compliance Reporting: Generate detailed reports documenting your security configurations and showing continuous compliance with security requirements throughout audit periods.

Benefits

  • Pass security audits with properly configured HTTPS, headers, and encryption controls
  • Reduce compliance implementation time from weeks to hours with pre-configured security settings
  • Maintain continuous compliance as requirements evolve with automatic security updates
  • Document security controls with comprehensive logs and reports for audit evidence

Implementation

For Heroku Applications

Expedited Security implements compliance controls at the edge, before requests reach your Heroku dynos. This approach ensures that security headers, HTTPS enforcement, and SSL/TLS configurations are applied consistently across your entire application without code modifications.

Installation is straightforward: add the Expedited Security add-on to your Heroku application, configure your required compliance controls through our dashboard, and update your DNS to route traffic through our edge protection layer. Most compliance controls are active within minutes.
