Fixed scope, or retained

Every engagement below can run fixed-scope against a deadline, or as retained monthly work. Either way the output is the same: a control environment that produces its own evidence.

CMMC and the Defense Industrial Base

Where this usually starts

And the configuration underneath it

Where this usually starts

If you hold a DoD contract with a DFARS 7012 clause, the question is not whether you will be assessed but whether your boundary, your SSP and your evidence agree with each other on the day it happens. We have run this end to end, through certification with zero PoA&Ms across all 110 controls.

Typical deliverables

And the configuration underneath it

Where this usually starts

System Security Plan and SPRS score, CUI and FCI boundary definition with data-flow documentation, policy and SOP library with control mapping, PoA&M register, internal assessment against 800-171A, evidence package, and an assessor-readiness review.

And the configuration underneath it

And the configuration underneath it

And the configuration underneath it

The enclave itself, identity and conditional access, privileged access, endpoint management and EDR across enterprise and plant segments, data loss prevention, controlled-data discovery and remediation, and the access-review workflow that keeps producing evidence after we leave.

Regulated industry compliance

Where this usually starts

And the configuration underneath it

Where this usually starts

HIPAA, SOX ITGC, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 differ in wording and overlap heavily in substance. The expensive mistake is running them as four separate programs with four separate evidence piles. We crosswalk them into one control set with one owner per control.

Typical deliverables

And the configuration underneath it

Where this usually starts

Control crosswalk and unified register, policy and procedure suite, risk assessment and DPIAs, evidence collection automation, questionnaire response library, vendor risk process, and audit-readiness remediation tracking.

And the configuration underneath it

And the configuration underneath it

And the configuration underneath it

Access control and MFA enforcement, DLP covering each regulatory regime you fall under, endpoint hardening against CIS and NIST baselines, and automation that turns quarterly access reviews from a fire drill into a scheduled job.

Fractional CISO

Where this usually starts

Where this usually starts

Where this usually starts

Plenty of organizations have real regulatory exposure and no one whose job it is to own it. The work gets split across an IT manager, a controller, and whoever answered the last customer questionnaire. A fractional arrangement puts one accountable owner on it.

Typical cadence

Where this usually starts

Where this usually starts

A standing monthly governance session, quarterly access reviews and risk register updates, questionnaire and vendor review turnaround as they arrive, and an annual policy refresh with a documented review trail. We report to your board or leadership in language they can act on.

Hands on the console

Where this usually starts

Hands on the console

This is not advisory only. Remediation, incident triage, and building a control rather than describing it are inside the retainer, not a change order to a second vendor. Cloud spend and licensing sit in the same job: security controls get bought, enabled and forgotten, and the bill grows quietly.

Shorter engagements: days or weeks, not months

Security questionnaire response

Security questionnaire response

Security questionnaire response

An enterprise customer sent you a 200-line security questionnaire with a two-week turnaround. We have completed 200 or more of these, and we build you a reusable answer library on the way through.

Pre-assessment gap review

Security questionnaire response

Security questionnaire response

An honest read on where you actually stand against 800-171, HIPAA or SOC 2 before you spend money on a formal assessment, with the gaps ranked by what will fail you first.

Secure configuration review

Cloud spend and licensing review

Cloud spend and licensing review

Firewall policy analysis, endpoint hardening against CIS and NIST benchmarks, Microsoft 365 and Entra configuration review, and DLP policy design.

Cloud spend and licensing review

Cloud spend and licensing review

Cloud spend and licensing review

Cloud bills grow by accretion: orphaned backups, retention nobody set, security plans still enabled on resources that no longer exist. We have cut a GCC High bill by clearing exactly that, and made the case for exiting a broker-held CSP that kept billing visibility away from the people paying for it.

Not sure which of these you need?

Describe the deadline and we will tell you which one it is, or that you do not need us yet.
