Find the gaps. Close them for good.

An advisor-led assessment of how your organization actually manages security risk, measured against the frameworks you answer to and validated hands-on rather than by questionnaire.

Scope

• Governance and risk management: leadership oversight, policies, risk analysis, vendor management and incident readiness, established through interviews, evidence review and walkthroughs.
• Technical validation: network vulnerability scanning, Microsoft 365 and cloud configuration review, Active Directory review and an external exposure assessment, always under your written authorization.
• Traceable evidence: each finding records how it was established (interview, inspection, observation or test) and the requirement it relates to.
• Self-assessment where it belongs: when a framework builds one in, such as PCI DSS questionnaires or NCUA's ACET, we incorporate it and reconcile it against our findings.

Deliverables

Findings in each framework's own terms, a risk register, a plan of action and milestones with owners and dates, an executive report and briefing for leadership, and regulator-format artifacts such as a HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis or a NIST CSF current profile.

A named security executive who knows your organization, participates in the decisions that matter and is accountable for the program between audits.

• Strategy and roadmap: priorities and budget recommendations tied to risk, not trends.
• Governance: policy ownership, annual reviews and risk acceptance decisions documented properly.
• Board and committee reporting: quarterly or as needed, in language directors can act on.
• Stakeholder engagement: examiners, auditors, insurers and customers who ask hard questions.
• Incident leadership: decision support and regulatory notification governance when something goes wrong.

Findings only matter once they're closed. We manage remediation from the first finding to verified closure, so progress is visible and every fix holds up to scrutiny.

• A prioritized roadmap with owners, deadlines and escalation when work stalls.
• Implementation guidance specific to the technology you run: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, firewalls, backup platforms and line-of-business systems.
• Verification: "done" is a claim; "verified" means we've reviewed the evidence. Every closed item keeps its evidence on file for your next exam or audit.
• Ongoing monitoring: newly exploited vulnerabilities matched to the products in your environment, regulatory changes that affect your obligations, and deadlines before they're missed.

Your IT team or provider makes the changes; we guide, track and verify them, so every fix is confirmed rather than assumed.

Policies, standards, plans and records developed from assessed reality: specific to your systems, roles and vendors, and mapped to the requirements they satisfy.

Includes the information security policy set, incident response and contingency plans, risk register and plan of action and milestones, vendor register, system security plan and board reporting, plus sector documents such as HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices review and FERPA data sharing agreements.

The notification clock starts at discovery. Your plan should already know which deadlines apply, who must be told and who decides.

We build response plans mapped to your actual obligations, including HIPAA's 60-day outer limit, Pennsylvania's breach notification law, NCUA's 72-hour cyber incident rule, the FTC Safeguards Rule and card-brand requirements. During an incident we provide decision support and notification governance alongside your forensics provider and counsel.

Many breaches start at a vendor. Know who holds your data, what they've committed to, and when to look again.

Risk-tiered due diligence, tracking of business associate agreements, FERPA data sharing agreements, PCI attestations and SOC reports, and a vendor register with review dates. When your own customers send a security questionnaire, we help you answer it from the program you actually run.

When an examiner, auditor or insurer asks, the evidence should already exist and be easy to find.

• Exam preparation: document requests assembled and reviewed before the examiner arrives.
• Cyber insurance renewals: questionnaire answers you can stand behind, with evidence to support them.
• Independent assessments for organizations supporting Commonwealth agencies under Pennsylvania's ITP-SEC023.

If you answer to HIPAA and PCI DSS, or NCUA and NIST CSF, you shouldn't pay for the same work twice.

Each framework is assessed on its own terms. A finished assessment can then give the next one a head start: answers carry over only where requirements genuinely match, partial overlaps are flagged for a fresh look, and every carried-over answer is reviewed before it counts.
