Startups

Attain the certifications that unlock enterprise clients, government contracts, and investor confidence — faster than you think possible.

🏢

Small Business

Right-sized compliance programs built for your team, your budget, and your timeline. No bloated retainers, no unnecessary complexity.

Every framework.
One trusted partner.

We don't hand you a checklist and walk away. We work alongside your team from gap assessment to certification day — and beyond.

01

Readiness Assessments

Honest gap analysis across your chosen framework before a dollar is spent on auditors. We can provide guidance based on several factors such as client/partner obligation, speed to certification, or desire to strengthen your IT control landscape.

02

SOC 1 & SOC 2

Full advisory support through selecting control objectives and achieving the Trust Services Criteria — from scoping to audit day. The SOC 3 comes after obtaining a SOC 2 Type 2 Report.

*We are not a CPA firm — we will prepare you for an attestation and can help select the firm when the time comes.

03

HITRUST CSF

Expert-guided paths through one of the most rigorous certification programs. MyCSF tool expertise, including guidance on inheritance, scoping requirements, and the nuances for obtaining and maintaining certification.

*We are not a HITRUST External Assessor — we will prepare you for the certification and can help select the Assessor when the time comes.

04

ISO 27001 & NIST CSF

Risk-based cybersecurity frameworks — simply put:

ISO 27001 requires a third party for certification. Certification usually meets most obligations.

NIST CSF is voluntary to manage risk and does not require an audit. No third party opinions.

05

Policy & Controls

We can help build your policies and procedures to align with any framework or to align with your current business objectives. We can help develop your controls and create your risk and control matrix, mapped to the various frameworks. Additionally, we provide training to individuals or teams on the documentation needed for any upcoming audits — or we can act as an on-field compliance advisor.
