Compliance programs

Security compliance, whichever framework is in front of you.

SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and the FTC Safeguards Rule. Different requirements, the same disciplined approach, and fixed fees agreed before work starts.

  • CISSP
  • CISA
  • GSLC
  • CISO and vCISO
  • USMC veteran
  • 30 years in IT and security
02 — Approach

The same five steps, every framework

Requirements differ. The way a defensible program gets built doesn’t.

01

Obligations first

What you are actually required to do, by whom, and by when. It is often narrower than you have been told, and it sets the scope for everything else.

02

Gap assessment

Where you stand against the requirements, with gaps ranked by risk and by what an auditor or customer will test first.

03

Build what’s missing

Risk assessment, policies, and controls written for how your company operates, and nothing you will never use.

04

Evidence

Records that show the controls run, organized the way assessors and customers ask for them.

05

Audit and review readiness

Preparation for the auditor, assessor, examiner, or customer review, and support while it happens.

03 — Fixed fees

What it costs

Start with a fixed-fee assessment against one framework. If you go on to implementation within 30 days, the full assessment fee is credited.

Readiness Assessment

$6,500 fixed

Know exactly where you stand against one framework, with a 90-day plan.

  • Gap report against one framework
  • Risk summary
  • 90-day roadmap
  • Readout call

100% of the assessment fee is credited toward an implementation signed within 30 days.
