These services are designed to support internal teams, executive leadership, and external stakeholders with clear, defensible insights.
CMMC Readiness & Assessment Support
Advisory services to help organizations understand and prepare for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements. This includes readiness assessments, control mapping, gap analysis, and practical recommendations to support compliance efforts without unnecessary complexity.
Executive & Stakeholder Reporting
Clear, concise reporting designed for executive leadership, legal counsel, and business stakeholders. Findings are communicated in plain language with practical recommendations to support decision-making and risk treatment planning.
Third-Party & Vendor Risk Assessments
Independent assessments of third-party vendors and service providers to evaluate cybersecurity posture, data protection practices, and operational risk. Reviews are tailored to the criticality of the vendor relationship and can support onboarding, renewals, or heightened risk scenarios.
SOC 2 Readiness & Ongoing Compliance Advisory
Support for organizations preparing for or maintaining SOC 2 Type II compliance. Services focus on control review, evidence readiness, risk alignment, and ongoing advisory support to help teams sustain compliance over time. This work is advisory in nature and complements external audit engagements.
Engagement Model
Assessment and advisory services are delivered through scoped engagements or ongoing advisory retainers, depending on organizational needs. Services are designed to be flexible, practical, and aligned to real-world risk rather than checklist-driven compliance.
SIG & SIG Lite Questionnaire Reviews
Support for completing, reviewing, and interpreting Standardized Information Gathering (SIG) and SIG Lite questionnaires. Services include response validation, gap identification, risk scoring support, and advisory guidance to help organizations respond accurately and defensibly.
Targeted Risk & Control Reviews
Focused reviews of specific security domains or concerns, such as access controls, identity management, incident response preparedness, or data protection practices. These reviews provide actionable insights without requiring a full program assessment.
