You could get compliance assistance from a number of places.

Other compliance consultants

Can guide you through audits and help with one or two frameworks...

But

They’re often costly, hard to scale, and rarely equipped to manage the complexity of healthtech.

Other compliance platforms

Can automate evidence collection and tick-box tasks for traditional frameworks...

But

They don’t cover the full scope of healthcare frameworks or include expert regulatory support.

Reasons Squirrel™ 2.0 is the best of both worlds:

As smart as a consulting company. As affordable as a compliance platform. Better than both.

Backed by the most knowledgeable experts across every compliance area.
Embeds a culture of compliance, so you don’t keep running into regulatory roadblocks.
Built for healthtech & the NHS (DTAC, DCB 0129 HIPAA, MDR and ISO standards).
Guarantees your product gets approved by the NHS, with the industry’s only recognised seal of compliance.

And we warranty all of your evidence, meaning...

If your Squirrel™ generated evidence file isn’t accepted by any reviewing body, we will remedy all of it free of charge!
We can even work with the procuring authority to help them fully understand your evidence file and get your assessment done in time!
ALL of this work will be free of charge and completed within 5 working days.
