Security & Compliance
Audit-Ready the First Time
SOC 2, HITRUST CSF, HIPAA, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, FISMA, ISO 27001, and ISO/IEC 42001 for AI. We run the gap assessment, write what’s missing, implement with your team, and stay in the room through the audit.
The problem
Certification Is Rarely a Technology Problem. It’s a Documentation and Follow-through Problem
Most organizations we meet already have decent controls. What they don’t have is the written procedure describing the control, the evidence that it ran, the owner who’s accountable for it, and the twelve months of consistency an auditor will sample.
That work is unglamorous, it competes with shipping, and it’s the reason first attempts slip. It’s also most of what we do, including writing the documentation when nobody internally has the capacity, which is the point where most programs stall.
How we help
Gap to Certificate, with Your Team in the Loop
Gap Assessment
Current state against the framework, scoped honestly, with the system boundary defined before anything else.
Remediation and Control Implementation
Working alongside your engineers, not handing them a spreadsheet of findings.
Documentation
Policies, procedures, and control descriptions written to be used, not just to be shown.
Evidence Readiness
What to keep, where it lives, how it’s produced, so collection isn’t a fire drill each cycle.
Audit Support
We sit in the audit. Auditors ask us questions directly, which shortens it for everyone. Where an attestation requires an independent CPA firm, we work alongside them.
Multi-Framework Efficiency
One control set mapped across frameworks so HITRUST CSF doesn’t restart what SOC 2 already proved.

What you get
The Report, and a Program That Survives It
- A defined scope and system boundary you can defend
- A gap assessment with a prioritized remediation plan
- Written policies and procedures your team recognizes as theirs
- Evidence organized the way the assessor asks for it
- Support through the audit, and a program that holds up next year
HITRUST CSF
First HITRUST CSF with no internal documentation capacity. We ran readiness the year before, built the roadmap, and wrote the procedures and policy updates.
SOC 2
Sought a SOC 2 Type II with gaps across the control environment. We assessed, remediated with their team, and prepared them for audit.
SOC 2 Type I
A tight deadline driven by client assurance requirements. We mapped controls, aligned practices, and got the evidence in place.
The Work Stays Proven after We Hand It Over
Between audits, the CyRisk platform tracks control status and certification readiness, so the next cycle starts from where you are rather than from scratch.
