What We Do

Start With Clarity.
Then Build From There.

Most small practices don't know what compliance gaps they have — not because they're careless, but because nobody ever showed them. That changes here.

Start Here
Risk Snapshot — $995

You run a small practice. You've got patients, staff, and a growing pile of technology — but no idea whether any of it is compliant. That fog is your biggest liability.

Most OCR fines and data breaches don't hit organizations that tried and failed. They hit organizations that never checked. The Risk Snapshot is designed for practices with 1–10 employees who need to know exactly where they stand — fast, affordably, and without a long-term commitment.

You choose the audit tool that fits your situation — HIPAA for healthcare practices, ISO 27001 for security framework, or ISO 42001 for AI governance. We review your results during a 30-minute onsite visit, check your M365 and Apple security posture, and deliver a clear priority matrix within 2–3 business days. No jargon. No scare tactics. Just clarity.

Delivered in 2–3 business days

About

Why I Built CLAS

Fred Saraiva - Founder, CLAS by Fred
HIPAA Privacy Law (Penn State) ISO 42001 AI Governance Lead Implementer ISO 27001 Lead Implementer GDPR Compliance Expert CompTIA Security+ vCISO Certified ITIL Foundation

I know what enterprise compliance looks like: I ran it for Apple across Europe, raising audit scores from 72% to 96% and training over 1,000 agents in four countries. I've built disaster recovery plans for telecom companies, security frameworks for SaaS platforms, and access control systems for multinational operations.

But I also know that a 12-person chiropractic office doesn't need a 200-page security manual. CLAS by Fred takes the precision of enterprise governance and scales it down: custom HIPAA audits, AI governance frameworks, and compliance roadmaps built for practices where the owner is also the decision-maker, the budget holder, and the person who has to explain it to their staff.

I pioneered Apple's first remote support model for the German market. I scaled a SaaS startup to €4M ARR. I've navigated OCR inquiries, GDPR enforcement actions, and ISO 27001 certification audits. And I've done it in three languages, across two continents, for two decades.

Now I'm based in Jacksonville, building compliance programs for Northeast Florida healthcare practices: dentists, chiropractors, psychiatrists, dermatologists, who need audit-ready documentation without enterprise bureaucracy. No generic templates. No copy-paste policies. Just custom frameworks built by someone who's been in the CTO chair and knows what actually holds up under scrutiny.

Ready to Know
Where You Stand?

Most security breaches are preceded by a compliance gap someone knew about but didn't act on. A HIPAA Risk Assessment or cybersecurity review with CLAS takes weeks. A data breach can take years to recover from.
