Before the Breach/Services/Information Assurance

Information assurance.

Independent assessments against CIS Controls, CMMC, NIST, HIPAA, FISMA, and other frameworks. We measure where you stand, document the evidence, and give you a plan to close the gaps.

How an assessment runs

The same five steps on every assessment.

  1. Scope

    We agree on the framework, the system boundary, and the evidence we will collect before the assessment starts.

  2. Gather

    We review policies and configurations and interview the people who run each control. Everything goes into an evidence repository your team keeps.

  3. Measure

    We score each control against the standard and record the evidence behind every score, so the results hold up in an audit.

  4. Report

    You get a prioritized list of findings, a remediation roadmap with owners and effort, and a one-page summary for leadership.

  5. Plan

    The findings become a plan with owners and dates, ready for your team to work or to carry into a Boot Camp engagement.
