Security assessments

Before you can fix gaps, you have to find them. We map your environment against the frameworks that matter — NIST 800-171, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 — and hand you a prioritized plan, not a pile of findings.

Why security assessments matter

Most organizations don't know where they stand until an auditor, a customer questionnaire, or an incident tells them. An assessment answers the question on your terms: what's in place, what's missing, and what to fix first. That clarity is just as useful for a business with complex operations as it is for one staring down a compliance deadline.

What our assessments include

Four deliverables, every engagement.

Detailed Gap Analysis

Weaknesses identified across your technical controls, policies, and documentation — each finding mapped to the framework requirement it affects.

Compliance Control Tracker

A live tracking system mapping every requirement to its current status and owner, so progress is visible instead of buried in a PDF.

Policy & Documentation Review

SSPs, POA&Ms, incident response procedures, and access controls reviewed against what assessors actually ask for.

Remediation Roadmap & Recommendations

Step-by-step guidance with compliance mapping — highest-impact fixes first, so budget goes where the risk is.

Our assessment process

  1. 01

    Discovery & Scoping

    We learn how your business runs — systems, data, contracts, and the frameworks that apply — so the assessment measures what matters.

  2. 02

    Assessment & Control Review

    Hands-on review of technical controls, policies, and documentation: MFA and identity management, data handling, endpoint and network posture, backup and incident response readiness.

  3. 03

    Gap Analysis Report

    Findings mapped to framework requirements and prioritized by risk — written for your engineers and your leadership alike.

  4. 04

    Roadmap, Tracker & Executive Review

    You get the remediation roadmap and live control tracker, then we walk leadership through the findings and agree on next steps.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a generic security audit?

Every finding is mapped directly to the frameworks you're accountable to — CIS, NIST, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 — and comes with a remediation roadmap and a live compliance tracker. You don't just learn what's wrong; you know which requirement it affects and who owns the fix.

Do we just get a report?

No. You get a prioritized gap analysis, a remediation checklist with ownership assignments, and guidance on how to demonstrate compliance to auditors and customers. The deliverables are built to be used, not filed.

Does the assessment cover security or compliance?

Both. They overlap but aren't identical — a control can be secure but undocumented, or documented but misconfigured. We assess against both at once, so closing one gap doesn't leave the other open.

Can you work alongside our internal IT team?

Yes. Engagements run co-managed or fully managed. Many clients keep day-to-day IT in-house and use us for the assessment, the tracker, and remediation guidance.

Who actually performs the assessment?

A 100% US-based team. No part of the work is offshored — every review, finding, and deliverable is handled by our own people.

Ready to find out where you stand?

One engagement gives you the gap analysis, the control tracker, and the roadmap — a clear picture before an auditor or a contract draws it for you.
