Security & Compliance
Compliance & Regulatory Readiness
Compliance isn't a destination. It's a standing requirement that changes every time a regulator updates their guidance, a carrier tightens their questionnaire, or a new contract vehicle adds a certification requirement. We build the controls, maintain the evidence, and provide Fractional CISO leadership for businesses that need it without the headcount.
What compliance actually requires
Most compliance programs fail at implementation, not intent. The framework is understood. The gap assessment gets done. Then the controls don't get built, the evidence doesn't get collected, and the audit finds surprises that cost more to fix under deadline than they would have cost to close upfront.
We don't sell compliance as a product. The requirement drives specific controls. We implement the specific controls. Evidence collection is continuous, not a sprint before the audit. And if you need a CISO to own the program, we have that too.
Frameworks we work in
CMMC : Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
Required for DoD contractors and subcontractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information. CMMC 2.0 has hard deadlines that are already appearing in contract vehicles. Level 1 through Level 3 implementation, SPRS scoring, and third-party assessment preparation.
HIPAA : Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Security Rule and Privacy Rule compliance for covered entities and business associates. Risk analysis, technical safeguard implementation, policy documentation, and Business Associate Agreement review.
SOC 2 : Service Organization Control
Trust Services Criteria implementation for SaaS and cloud service providers. Type I and Type II readiness, control design, evidence collection, and auditor coordination.
Cyber Insurance Readiness : Carrier requirements and renewals
Carriers are tightening requirements significantly. MFA, EDR, backup isolation, incident response plans, and privileged access controls are now standard questionnaire items. We map your posture to current carrier requirements and close the gaps before renewal.
ISO 27001 : International security management standard
Information security management system design and implementation. Relevant for international engagements, including businesses operating in T&T, UK, and EU contexts where ISO 27001 is the recognized standard.
PCI DSS : Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
For businesses that handle cardholder data. Scope definition, network segmentation, control implementation, and QSA coordination.
How a compliance engagement works
Assessment
Scope the requirement, map your current controls, and produce a gap analysis that names what needs to be built and in what order.
Implementation
Build the controls the framework requires. Technical controls via managed security and infrastructure. Policy and process controls documented and in place.
Evidence Collection
Continuous log retention, screenshot evidence, control testing, and documentation maintenance. Audit-ready at any time, not just during assessment windows.
Audit Support
Coordinate with C3PAOs (CMMC), QSAs (PCI), or other third-party assessors. Answer questions, provide evidence packages, and manage findings to closure.
Fractional CISO leadership
Some compliance programs need an owner, not just an implementer. A fractional CISO sits at the right altitude: security strategy, vendor relationships, board-level reporting, incident command. Without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Particularly relevant for businesses pursuing CMMC, managing a regulated client relationship, or working toward cyber insurance certification that requires demonstrated security leadership.
Fractional CISO detailsKnow where you stand before the deadline does.
Your free hour isn't a compliance audit. It's a conversation about where your current controls map to your compliance requirements, what the real gaps are, and what a phased remediation looks like in your environment. No scare tactics. No compliance-as-a-product pitch.
