Infrastructure Expertise Across Every Sector
From FedRAMP-compliant government clouds to HIPAA-ready healthcare platforms — we bring deep domain knowledge to every engagement.
THNKBIG brings specialized Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure expertise to regulated industries across Texas, California, and nationwide. Our US-based team has delivered compliant container platforms for healthcare organizations, federal agencies, financial institutions, and manufacturing enterprises since 2018.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas with engineers in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Ft Lauderdale, we provide on-site and remote consulting services that meet the stringent requirements of highly regulated sectors.
Every industry has unique compliance requirements, operational constraints, and technical challenges. Our regulatory experience includes:
- HIPAA audits for healthcare systems in Houston
- FedRAMP High authorization for federal agencies in Washington DC
- PCI-DSS controls for financial services firms in San Francisco
- NERC CIP compliant edge systems for energy companies across Texas
This deep regulatory knowledge, combined with our cloud-native engineering expertise, means faster time to compliance and fewer surprises during audits.
Our industry expertise goes beyond checking compliance boxes. We understand the operational realities of running Kubernetes in environments where downtime isn't just expensive. It can impact patient care, national security, or critical infrastructure.
That's why we design platforms with fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and incident response built in from day one. Our engineers have managed platforms through production incidents at Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, and healthcare systems. This practical experience translates directly into more resilient architectures for your organization.
Whether you're a healthcare organization in California modernizing legacy EHR systems, a defense contractor in Texas pursuing CMMC certification, or a financial services firm in Florida scaling trading infrastructure, THNKBIG provides the specialized expertise your industry demands.
We work with your compliance, security, and operations teams to ensure our solutions meet not just technical requirements, but also the governance and audit expectations of your specific regulatory environment.
Compliance-First Infrastructure for Regulated Industries
Regulatory compliance isn't an afterthought. It's the foundation of every architecture we design. Our team includes engineers who have successfully guided organizations through:
- FedRAMP Moderate and High assessments
- HIPAA security rule audits
- PCI-DSS Level 1 certifications
- CMMC evaluations
We understand that compliance frameworks aren't static documents. They're living requirements that must be continuously validated and documented.
For organizations in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco operating in regulated industries, we provide infrastructure automation that generates audit evidence as a byproduct of normal operations:
- GitOps implementations that create immutable audit trails of every configuration change
- Policy-as-code approaches that enforce compliance controls at the pipeline level
- Prevention of non-compliant configurations from ever reaching production
This continuous compliance posture dramatically reduces the burden of annual audits and provides real-time visibility into your security and compliance status.
We've developed specialized expertise in the unique technical requirements of each regulatory framework:
- HIPAA: Encryption at rest and in transit, comprehensive access logging, automated PHI data handling policies
- FedRAMP: Boundary protection, continuous monitoring, technical controls for JAB P-ATO or Agency ATO processes
- PCI-DSS: Network segmentation, cardholder data protection, logging and monitoring for Level 1 service providers
This deep framework knowledge accelerates your path to compliance while ensuring your infrastructure remains operationally excellent.
