How Can We Help?
Our company is dedicated to helping organizations improve their information security posture and compliance through policy.

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.

Assessment of Current Security Policies
- Conduct a thorough review of the organization’s existing information security policies, procedures, and practices.

- 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.
