How Can We Help?
Our company is dedicated to helping organizations improve their information security posture and compliance through policy.
Regardless of the size of an organization or the industry, information security policies ensure everyone within the organization understands their roles and responsibilities concerning data protection and security.
Our approach to policy consulting includes an emphasis on:
Security Framework
- NIST SP 800-53r5
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- NIST Privacy Framework
- NIST Risk Management Framework
- ISO 27001
- AICPA SOC 2 Controls
Regulatory Compliance
Many industries are subject to certain regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”), and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”).
Ensuring information security policies incorporate regulatory framework helps organizations meet these requirements, avoiding potential legal issues and fines.

- Align policies with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
Assessment of Current Security Policies
- Conduct a thorough review of the organization’s existing information security policies, procedures, and practices.
- Identify gaps or weaknesses in policies using a matrix-based approach.
Employee Awareness and Training

- Develop and deliver policy-based training programs to educate employees about information security policies and emerging security trends.
Risk Management
- Incorporate a risk-based approach to information security that ensures you are keeping up with changing risks, making risk-based decisions, and meeting regulatory and security requirements that mandate robust risk management functions.
- Help small and medium sized organizations establish, scale, or mature their security risk management function through the use of regular assessments, remediation planning, risk reporting, risk tracking, and management of the risks and remediations.
