GRC-04 · Compliance Advisory

Compliance mapped to controls you'll actually pass audit on.

A checklist doesn't pass an audit — working controls do. We map your compliance obligations to specific technical controls, then help you close the gaps, so your audit reflects a security posture that's real, not just documented.

Frameworks we support

Compliance advisory across the frameworks that matter most.

Framework Typical audience What we help with
SOC 2 SaaS & service providers Readiness assessment, control mapping, evidence collection support
HIPAA Healthcare & healthcare-adjacent Security rule risk assessments, technical safeguard implementation
NIST 800-171 / 800-53 Federal contractors & agencies Control implementation, System Security Plan (SSP) support
CMMC Defense industrial base (DIB) Level 1–2 readiness, gap remediation, veteran-owned DIB positioning
ISO 27001 Enterprises & global vendors ISMS design support, control implementation, internal audit prep

What's included

  • Gap assessment against your target framework
  • Control-by-control remediation plan with priority ordering
  • Technical implementation of the controls you're missing
  • Documentation support: policies, SSPs, and evidence artifacts
  • Pre-audit review to catch issues before your assessor does
  • Ongoing advisory to maintain compliance between audit cycles

Who this is for

Organizations pursuing a first-time certification, preparing for a renewal audit, or responding to a customer or contract requirement that suddenly made compliance urgent. This is especially relevant for defense contractors working toward CMMC, where our veteran-owned status and hands-on technical background are a direct advantage.

Compliance advisory works best alongside Security Architecture, Design & Deployment, since most frameworks require controls that go beyond policy — they require working technical implementation.

Frequently asked

Compliance advisory, explained.

Do you perform the formal audit or certification?

No — we prepare you for it. Formal SOC 2 audits and CMMC certifications require independent third-party assessors. We handle the readiness work that gets you through that process cleanly on the first attempt.

How long does compliance readiness typically take?

It depends heavily on your current state and target framework — anywhere from 8 weeks for a focused SOC 2 Type I readiness push to several months for CMMC Level 2. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the gap assessment.

A gap assessment tells you exactly what's left before you commit to a timeline.
