Governance, Risk & Compliance

Compliance programs, risk management, third-party risk and audit readiness against the frameworks the organization is held to, commercial and federal.

Assess

Compliance Gap Assessment

Structured gap assessment against the framework or frameworks the organization is held to, commercial or federal.

Scoping and CMMC Scoring

Defines the regulated-data boundary and the segmentation architecture, corporate scope-down versus a dedicated, segmented environment, documented for accredited third-party assessor review.

Third-Party Risk

Risk assessment of vendors and business partners against the compliance obligations they create, covering due diligence documentation, risk tiering by data access and criticality.

Risk Assessment and Register

Identifies and scores the risks the organization actually carries (operational, technology and third-party) against likelihood and impact.

Implement

Federal Compliance Readiness

Full NIST RMF lifecycle support: system categorization (FIPS 199), control selection and tailoring (NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5), SSP development, SAP/SAR support, POA&M management, and ATO package assembly.

Compliance Program and Governance

Builds the governance structure a compliance program runs on: control ownership, policy hierarchy, and reporting lines, so the program holds up under staff turnover rather than living in one person's head.

Audit Readiness and Evidence

Tests the controls already in place against the standard they are meant to satisfy, rather than assuming a documented control is a working one, and prepares the evidence package.
