Frameworks that pass scrutiny and reduce risk.
Audit season should not be a fire drill. SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, AI governance. Whichever framework is on your calendar, we design controls auditors actually accept and evidence patterns your team can collect without rebuilding the program every year. Built by practitioners who have sat on both sides of the audit.
A program designed for evidence, not just policy.
Six deliverables that turn compliance from a fire drill into a capability. Each one owned by the same senior practitioner from gap assessment through the audit floor.
Framework gap assessment
Honest baseline against the framework you need to pass. No maturity-model theater. Just gaps, and the sequenced path to close them.
Control design & evidence collection
Controls that work in your environment, with evidence auditors will accept. We design once. Your team collects forever.
Audit prep & response
Lead-up coaching, fieldwork support, finding response. We sit through the audit if we built the program. No outsourced spectator.
Continuous compliance monitoring
Quarterly control reviews, evidence freshness checks, drift detection. So next year's audit isn't a fire drill.
Risk register & treatment plans
A register your team can actually maintain. Treatments with owners and dates. The board reviews it on a real cadence.
AI governance program
NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 alignment, AI use-case inventory, model risk policy, LLM threat modeling, vendor AI assessments.
Three situations where this fits.
You are chasing your first SOC 2 or HIPAA attestation. We get you from zero to audit-ready without the consulting-firm bloat. Controls your engineers can live with. Evidence your team can sustain.
You are SOC 2 today, ISO 27001 next year, PCI DSS already. We design controls that satisfy all of them without duplicating evidence, and we keep the program coherent as new frameworks land.
You are shipping AI features and the board wants assurance. We stand up an AI governance program that satisfies legal, risk, and engineering, mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001.
From gap to attestation, end to end.
Most framework engagements run 3 to 12 months. Multi-framework programs run continuously. The structure below repeats per framework: assess, design, build, attest.
Assess
Framework-specific gap analysis grounded in your actual environment. Not a checkbox spreadsheet. Just a control-by-control walk through what you have, what you need, and what it realistically takes to close the gap before fieldwork.
Design
Controls tailored to your stack, written in the language your engineers actually speak. Evidence patterns the team can sustain quarter after quarter. Policy that maps to real practice, not aspirational policy that fails the audit interview.
Build
We help the team operate the controls, collect the evidence, and remediate gaps before the auditor finds them. Pre-audit readiness reviews tell you what would get flagged in fieldwork while there is still time to fix it.
Attest
Audit prep coaching, fieldwork support, finding response in real time. We sit through the audit alongside your team, not on a status call. After attestation, the program rolls forward into continuous monitoring, not a quiet year until next fieldwork.
We have been on both sides of the audit.
Senior, all the way through.
The person scoping the engagement is the person sitting in the audit room. No partner-to-associate handoff. No template factories. Controls designed by practitioners who have operated them.
Built for evidence, not policy.
A control is only as good as the evidence behind it. We design for what auditors actually accept, with collection patterns your team can sustain quarter after quarter. No more frantic week before fieldwork.
Cross-framework, not single-stamp.
We map controls across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NIST CSF so each piece of evidence does work for multiple frameworks. One control, many audits.
Software-enabled, not software-dependent.
Where it helps, we use our own platforms. Scout for third-party risk and vendor evidence. Command for program tracking and board reporting. The leverage of running on tested platforms without being locked into one.
A 30-minute conversation, not a sales call.
Tell us which framework is on your calendar. We will tell you whether you are realistically ready, and what it takes to close the gap.
