What to Expect

Engagements typically begin with a structured current-state assessment, followed by a detailed gap analysis and a prioritized remediation roadmap. Where applicable, deliverables also include policy recommendations, framework alignment guidance, and an implementation briefing to ensure your team understands the findings and is prepared to act on them. For project-based engagements, scope, timeline, and pricing are agreed upon upfront, so there are no surprises.

SOC 2 Readiness

A SOC 2 audit is often the gateway to enterprise customers, and preparation is everything. We conduct a structured gap analysis against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria, identify control deficiencies, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap so your organization enters the audit process with confidence.

Who this is for: Organizations preparing for their first SOC 2 Type II audit, or companies looking to strengthen their control environment ahead of a renewal.

AI Governance

As AI adoption accelerates, so does the regulatory and reputational risk that comes with it. From assessing your current governance posture to identifying gaps in accountability, transparency, and risk management, every engagement builds toward a defensible framework aligned with leading standards including the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO 42001.

Who this is for: Organizations adopting or scaling AI who need a defensible governance structure before regulators, customers, or board members start asking questions.

NIST CSF Assessment

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a common language for understanding and managing cybersecurity risk, but knowing where you stand requires an honest, structured evaluation. A thorough assessment across all five CSF functions surfaces gaps and produces a prioritized roadmap for improvement.

Who this is for: Organizations looking to establish or mature their cybersecurity program, or those preparing for customer, board, or regulatory scrutiny of their security posture.

ISO 27001 Assessment

ISO 27001 certification demonstrates a mature, systematic approach to managing information security risk. Starting with a thorough evaluation of your current information security management system, the engagement identifies gaps and develops a clear roadmap toward certification readiness.

Who this is for: Organizations pursuing ISO 27001 certification for the first time, or those looking to assess their readiness before engaging a certification body.

NYDFS 500 Compliance

The New York Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulation (23 NYCRR 500) imposes specific and evolving requirements on covered entities and their third-party service providers. We help organizations understand their obligations, assess their current compliance posture, and build a program that satisfies regulatory expectations.

Who this is for: Financial services firms, fintechs, and third-party service providers subject to NYDFS 500 requirements, particularly those navigating recent amendments.

Policy Development

Strong governance starts with clear, practical policies. Whether building a policy library from scratch or modernizing documentation that no longer reflects current operations, the goal is the same: policies that align with applicable frameworks, hold up to auditor scrutiny, and actually get used.

Who this is for: Organizations building their policy library from scratch, those preparing for an audit that requires documented controls, or companies whose existing policies no longer reflect current operations or regulatory requirements.
