USDP
USDP unifies overlapping security and data-protection requirements into one control framework. Agency's forward-deployed engineers + AI operate it for you — one team, one baseline, every regulatory domain — without adding headcount.
One baseline, operated across every regulation.
Agency Comply · USDP
Overview
The Unified Security and Data Protection (USDP) framework is an emerging compliance standard focused on unifying security controls and data protection requirements across multiple regulatory domains into a single, streamlined compliance model.
USDP addresses the operational reality that organizations face overlapping and sometimes conflicting requirements from different regulatory bodies — and provides a structured approach to satisfying them through a consolidated control framework.
For organizations navigating complex, multi-jurisdictional compliance obligations, USDP reduces duplication and creates a single compliance baseline that maps to multiple regulatory expectations.
Who Needs USDP
Organizations operating across multiple regulatory environments that need a unified approach to security and data protection compliance — particularly those facing requirements from U.S. federal, state, and international regulators simultaneously.
Technology & SoftwareSaaS companies serving customers across regulated industries benefit from USDP's unified approach to satisfying multiple compliance requirements through a single control framework.
Financial ServicesFinancial institutions subject to federal, state, and international data protection requirements use USDP to consolidate overlapping obligations.
Health & Life SciencesOrganizations navigating HIPAA, state health privacy laws, and international data protection requirements benefit from USDP's cross-regulatory mapping.
Critical InfrastructureOperators subject to multiple federal security mandates and sector-specific regulations use USDP to consolidate control requirements.
GovernmentAgencies and contractors managing overlapping federal security requirements (FISMA, NIST, FedRAMP) alongside data protection obligations.
Retail & EcommerceOrganizations handling consumer data across multiple state privacy laws (CCPA, CPRA, state-level equivalents) alongside federal and international requirements.
Key Challenges
Seven places unified programs stall
How Agency Delivers
Agency operates your USDP compliance program as a managed service, implementing the unified control framework and maintaining continuous compliance across every applicable regulatory domain.
Unified Control Implementation — Agency's U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers, supercharged by proprietary AI, implement USDP's consolidated controls across your infrastructure, mapping each control to the underlying regulatory requirements it satisfies. One control implementation, multiple compliance outcomes.
Cross-Regulatory Evidence Management — Agency collects evidence once and maps it to every applicable regulatory requirement automatically. Agency AI maintains the control ontology that connects USDP controls to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, state privacy laws, and federal mandates.
Holistic Risk Assessment — Agency maintains a unified risk view that spans all applicable regulatory domains, ensuring risk assessments satisfy the requirements of every framework simultaneously rather than duplicating assessments for each regulation.
Continuous Compliance Maintenance — As regulations evolve and new requirements emerge, Agency updates your unified control framework to maintain compliance — without requiring your team to manually track regulatory changes across multiple domains.
Documentation and Reporting — Agency generates unified compliance documentation that satisfies multiple regulatory audiences. Auditsuisse AI validates that evidence artifacts meet the standards of every applicable framework.
A unified framework only works if someone operates it across every regulation continuously. That's the difference between automation and Agency: our U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers run the consolidated program end-to-end, on top of the tools you already use.
