Every framework comes down to the same two questions: are the right protections in place, and can you prove it? We handle both the controls and the evidence, for whichever regulations your business answers to.
A missed requirement can mean a contract you can't bid on, an insurance claim that gets denied, or a fine landing on a business that thought it was covered. Done right, compliance protects the revenue you already have and opens up the work you want next.
Knowing the acronyms is our job, not yours. This is what tends to apply, and to whom.
Defense contractors: CMMC third-party assessments begin appearing in new DoD contracts November 2026. A self-attestation stops being enough: a certified assessor (C3PAO) has to verify your environment, and remediation typically takes months, not weeks. If you hold or want defense work, preparation needs to start well before your next bid.
If you do business with the Department of Defense, or want to, CMMC certification is becoming the price of admission. Enforcement is phasing in, and contractors who aren't ready will be locked out of bids. We get your environment to the required level and assemble the evidence before your assessment.
The HIPAA Security Rule requires safeguards around patient data and an annual security risk assessment that most practices either skip or do incorrectly. We run the assessment, close the gaps, handle your business associate agreements, and keep the documentation a regulator would actually ask for.
Accounting and tax firms are now required to maintain a written information security program under the FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS guidance. We build the WISP, implement the controls behind it, and keep it current, so what's on paper matches what's running in your office.
If you accept card payments, PCI DSS sets the security standard you're contractually on the hook for. We help you scope it down, put the required protections in place, and complete the attestation without turning your whole network into audit scope.
Carriers now require specific controls before they will write or renew a policy, and they can contest a claim when the application didn't match reality. We map your environment to what insurers ask for so you can answer honestly and stay covered when it counts.
California's privacy laws set rules for how you collect, store, and honor requests about personal information. We help you put the practical pieces in place: policies, processes, and the security underneath them, so privacy obligations stay manageable.
We partner with independent auditors and assessors rather than competing with them, and we work alongside whatever IT you already have. You keep your trusted relationships; we do the implementation and build the proof.
We measure your environment against the framework that applies and produce a clear picture of where the gaps are, without jargon or scare tactics.
You get a prioritized roadmap covering what has to happen, in what order, and roughly what it takes, so timeline and scope are settled before work begins.
We put the controls, policies, and configurations in place ourselves. Plenty of consultants will tell you what to fix; we are the ones who fix it.
We assemble the audit-ready evidence: the policies, records, and proof an assessor, regulator, or insurer expects to see.
Compliance isn't one-and-done. We keep your program current as requirements change and reassessments come due, so you stay ready year after year.
No. We work alongside the people you already have. If you have an IT person or an independent assessor you trust, we slot in as the team that implements the controls and produces the documentation. Nobody gets displaced.
It depends on the framework and where you're starting from. A focused cyber insurance readiness effort can take weeks; a full CMMC Level 2 or HIPAA program is typically a matter of months. We give you a realistic timeline after the initial gap assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all promise.
We get you audit-ready and stand behind the work. The certification or attestation itself is issued by an authorized third party (for CMMC, a C3PAO), so no one can honestly guarantee the result. What we can guarantee is that the controls are in place and the evidence is there to support them.
Yes. We map your environment to what carriers ask for: multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, backups, and security training, so you can answer the application truthfully and reduce the risk of a denied claim later.
No. Compliance requirements and insurance questionnaires apply regardless of headcount, and small businesses are frequently targeted precisely because attackers assume their defenses are weaker. We scope the work to your size and risk.
Every engagement opens the same way: a free 30-minute scoping call to pin down which rules apply to you and whether there's a gap worth assessing. If there is, the next step is a documented gap assessment, a control-by-control review of your environment delivered as a written findings report you keep. Use it with us, hand it to your own IT, or bring it to your auditor.
Book a consultation and we'll tell you straight: what you're on the hook for, where your gaps are, and what it would take to close them.
