Every engagement is scoped, staffed and logged like a controlled security operation. Five lanes below are routine-pass; the sixth carries a live flag because failed audits deserve fast remediation, not a quiet shrug.

SOC 2 Readiness Programs
We help you map the five trust service criteria into concrete control evidence your auditors will accept on the first walkthrough. Through light pre-assessment interviews and evidence harvesting, we surface gaps while they are still cheap to close, then sequence remediation so your report lands on schedule.
Our readiness model covers the Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. We size the effort against your true maturity rather than a generic template, so the program scales whether you are a ten person product team or a private exchange operator.
By the finish you hold a defensible assertion, a tightened control environment and a repeatable evidence rhythm for every future reporting period. Subcontracting, cloud dependencies and employee access all get reviewed through a single chain of custody.

ISO 27001 Gap Assessments
Annex A spans more than ninety controls, and most organizations do not know which clauses apply until they see their assets catalogued honestly. Our gap assessment builds that picture from your real environment, not from a boilerplate questionnaire, so nothing important slips past the statement of applicability.
We interview owners, inspect configurations and trace policies to their live enforcement points. Each finding carries a risk rating, a responsible owner and a practical remediation note tied to your existing budget and tooling rather than an idealized target architecture.
When the certificate matters to your revenue, the pre-audit state and the evidence behind it deserve the same rigor as the external audit itself. We leave your team able to re-run the gap review internally each cycle.

Vendor Risk Reviews
Your regulators judge the controls you can influence, but your customers judge the controls you inherit from every subcontractor and cloud provider in the chain. Vendor risk work starts by inventorying your third parties and triaging them by the sensitivity of the data they handle.
For each material vendor we review the shared responsibility boundary, the contractual security terms and the live evidence of their own certifications. We convert open findings into tracked mitigation tasks that continue to move after the review closes.
The deliverable is a risk register your procurement team can actually use, plus a repeatable vendor onboarding cadence that keeps new providers from entering your environment on faith alone.
P
Policy Suite Authoring
Static policy documents gather dust; living policies shape behavior. We author a tight policy suite for information security, acceptable use, incident response, business continuity, access control and vendor management that reads in plain language and maps cleanly to your control statement.
Our authors strip away legal padding and write in straightforward English your engineering, support and finance teams will actually follow. Every policy carries an owner, a review cadence and a revision history so an auditor can see stewardship, not a timestamp in a wiki.
Deliverables come in working formats so your team can amend and republish without round-tripping through our inbox for every small change.
P
Security Awareness Training
The strongest technical control is still operated by people who answer phishing lures during a busy quarter. We design compact, role-aware security awareness modules that rehearse real decisions rather than scoring trivia about password length.
Content covers phishing, social engineering, clean desk, remote access, data handling and incident reporting, refreshed on a cycle that tracks the current threat landscape. We pair each cohort with simulated events and measure whether employees change behavior, not just whether they click through a slide deck.
Programme reporting doubles as evidence for your annual training control, giving the audit file both the attendance log and the measured improvement behind it.

Audit Season Escort
Even a mature program can stumble when the auditor walks the floor and asks for a control that lives in three different tools. Our audit season escort rehearses the evidence walkthrough, so your team fields questions calmly instead of hunting for a forgotten log upload mid-interview.
We stage the evidence library, rehearse the management testimony and prepare the supporting staff who will face the tester. Where a line of evidence turns out to be thin, the red flag here matters, and we treat it as urgent work rather than a cosmetic patch.
By the time the external auditor arrives, our team stands ready at your side to close every loop on the spot, keeping the report on track and your certification date intact. If a flagship evidence gap emerges, we triage remediation in hours, not weeks.
