Pharma Compliance Group

What Pharma Compliance Group does

Pharma Compliance Group (PCG) is a privately held compliance and regulatory services company headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The firm serves drug manufacturers, wholesale drug distributors, pharmacies, practitioners, and healthcare facilities with services focused on DEA, CSA, and CFR compliance, controlled substance monitoring, and drug diversion prevention. Its competitive positioning is built on a senior team composed of former Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agents, Diversion Investigators, and private security professionals (Principal Matt Murphy; Strategic Partners Mimi Paredes JD, Bill Stivers, and Chris Grush), which is the central differentiator versus generalist compliance consultancies.

PCG operates an integrated 15-service portfolio organized across four pillars: compliance auditing and consulting (Compliance Auditing, Consulting, Program Development), investigative and due diligence (Due Diligence Investigations, Know Your Prescriber, Brand Protection, Background Screening), technology-enabled monitoring (OrderInsite's Guardian Analytics, Remote Video Monitoring Service), and training and education (ACPE-approved CE Training, Online DEA Compliance Training via LearnSomething). OrderInsite's Guardian Analytics is the core technology asset — a digital surveillance platform that evaluates suspicious prescription activity at the store, prescriber, and patient levels in near real-time — complemented by the multi-step Know Your Prescriber verification software. Human-delivered services (on-site audits, physical security evaluations, DEA liaison work, account restriction mitigation) and remote video monitoring complete the portfolio.

PCG runs a direct enterprise field-sales motion with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements plus recurring/subscription revenue from the OrderInsite analytics platform and online training. Marketing is conducted primarily through content marketing (blog and regulatory education content) and email newsletters. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding, parent company, or revenue figures; no headcount is disclosed. The market served is the U.S. only.
