Audit Readiness
Security compliance your auditors can see — and your board can sign off on. For businesses in regulated industries, security isn't just about staying protected — it's about being able to prove it. Intermax Security: Audit Readiness adds 24/7 monitoring, continuous vulnerability scanning, and audit-ready reporting on top of your Managed IT foundation, so you're ready when the auditor shows up.
Intermax Security: Audit Readiness is a managed cybersecurity compliance service for regulated businesses across North Idaho and Eastern Washington — providing 24/7 SOC monitoring, vulnerability scanning against HIPAA, GLBA, and SOX frameworks, and audit-ready reporting, built on top of Intermax Managed IT.
What is Audit Readiness?
Compliance isn’t a checkbox — it’s continuous. Audit Readiness makes it manageable. Regulated industries — healthcare, legal, financial services — face a specific problem: it’s not enough to be secure, you have to be able to show it. Audit Readiness is an add-on to Intermax Managed IT that gives your business the monitoring, scanning, and documentation that auditors and insurers actually want to see. A 24/7 security operations center watches your environment around the clock. Continuous vulnerability scanning tests it against the regulatory frameworks that apply to you and tells you what to fix first. And when an auditor or your leadership team needs a report, it’s ready. One service, on top of the Managed IT foundation you already have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Audit Readiness replace Managed IT, or add to it?
It adds to it. Audit Readiness requires an active Intermax Managed IT subscription — it layers compliance monitoring and reporting on top of the managed firewall, EDR, and identity monitoring already included in Managed IT.
Which compliance frameworks do you support?
HIPAA, GLBA, and SOX are the primary frameworks we support. If your industry has a different requirement, talk to us — we can discuss whether Audit Readiness covers it.
What's the difference between Managed IT security and Audit Readiness?
Managed IT includes a defined security baseline — managed firewall, endpoint protection, identity monitoring. Audit Readiness adds 24/7 SOC monitoring, vulnerability scanning against specific regulatory frameworks, and the documentation layer auditors need. It’s the compliance evidence layer, not a replacement for the baseline.
How quickly can we get started?
Start with a free security review. We’ll assess your current environment, identify the gaps against the frameworks that apply to you, and outline exactly what Audit Readiness would cover.
