Services Compliance readiness

Governance, risk and compliance without the paperwork treadmill.

A GRC program that helps you answer audit questions, make better decisions and move faster as a business, without drowning your team in spreadsheets.

Why most GRC programs struggle

Good governance, risk and compliance work makes an organization safer and faster at the same time. Bad GRC work makes everything slower and no safer. The difference is execution.

  • Policies written in abstract language no one recognizes.
  • Risk managed in a spreadsheet updated once a year.
  • Compliance treated as a checklist, not a way of working.
  • No link between governance, real risk and the controls in place.

Our approach

We design GRC as one integrated system, not three disconnected workstreams.

  1. Scope and gap assessment

    Which standards and laws actually apply to you, and how far you are from meeting them.

  2. Governance that gets used

    Board reporting, a steering cadence and a policy set written for the people who follow it.

  3. Risk management as a live practice

    A risk register updated in the flow of work, not resurrected once a year.

  4. Controls and evidence

    Controls implemented with your team, and evidence collected continuously so audits are not a last-minute scramble.

  5. Audit support

    We prepare you, liaise with your auditor and help close findings. The audit itself is performed by an independent firm.

Standards and laws we work with

  • SOC 2 Type I and II
  • ISO 27001
  • ISO 27701
  • NIST CSF 2.0
  • HIPAA
  • PCI DSS 4.0
  • FTC Safeguards Rule
  • NYDFS Part 500
  • SEC cyber disclosure
  • CCPA/CPRA
  • US state privacy laws
  • GDPR

Privacy done properly

Privacy impact assessments, data maps, privacy notices, breach procedures and privacy-by-design reviews, across the frameworks that apply to you and the privacy clauses inside contracts you are asked to sign.

What you get

  • An integrated GRC operating model
  • Policies written for the people who follow them
  • A live risk register
  • Audit-ready evidence, without last-minute scrambling
  • Clear executive reporting

Questions

How long does SOC 2 or ISO 27001 readiness take?

It depends on your starting point and scope. We give you a realistic timeline after the gap assessment, usually within the first two weeks.

Do we need a compliance automation platform?

Sometimes. We are vendor-neutral, so we will tell you honestly whether a platform would save you time or just add cost.

Can you act as our compliance lead after the audit?

Yes. Many clients keep us on as their vCISO to run the program between audits.
