It can be hard for your internal team to give an unbiased read of their own work. We give you an honest assessment of your cybersecurity posture.
When you work with us, an experienced, dedicated team supports you across assessments, audits, penetration testing, compliance, third-party risk, privacy programs, AI risk and vCISO leadership. Whether you need a one-time review or managed services to help run your program over time, we can meet you where you are.
Cybersecurity Audits, Assessments & Evaluations
We give you an objective view of your weak spots, rank them by their potential impact and provide a practical plan with clear next steps.
- Cybersecurity Risk Assessments (NIST, CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27001): Check your digital assets, systems and processes to find vulnerabilities, measure threats and evaluate how well security controls protect data.
- CMMC Readiness Assessments: These assessments for prospective Department of Defense contractors and subcontractors ensure compliance with evolving control standards.
- Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk Reviews: Evaluate vendors, suppliers and contractors to ensure they don’t expose you to security vulnerabilities, legal trouble or sudden operational failure.
- AI Risk Assessment & Governance Support: See how an AI tool or model impacts your safety, data security and legal compliance.
- AI Framework Implementation (NIST Risk Management Framework): Check how well you identify, measure and manage the risks of your AI systems.
What to Expect: Our typical risk assessment takes 4 to 8 weeks, includes 3 to 5 key interviews and requires 10 to 15 hours from your team.
Cyber Incident Response Readiness
A cyber incident isn’t the time to discover weaknesses in your response plan. We help you evaluate your readiness, strengthen response procedures and improve coordination before an event occurs.
- Incident Response Plan Reviews: Evaluate your security protocols, contact lists and operational procedures for accuracy, compliance and readiness.
- Tabletop Exercises for Leadership & Technical Teams: Check how well your emergency plans, communication and decision-making processes work during a simulated cyberattack.
- Response Readiness Assessments: See how well you can detect, contain and recover. See how well you can detect, contain and recover from a cybersecurity incident.
What to Expect: Our average incident response readiness evaluation takes 4 to 8 weeks, includes 3 to 5 targeted interviews and requires 15 to 30 hours across leadership and technical staff.
Penetration Testing
Understand how an attacker could exploit your environment before they do. We test your defenses, identify exploitable weaknesses and prioritize remediation based on risk.
- Web Application Penetration Testing: Assess your website or online software for security flaws by safely simulating real hacker attacks.
- Application Programming Interface (API) Penetration Testing: Examine your API for security vulnerabilities, configuration flaws and logic gaps by simulating real-world cyberattacks.
- Mobile Application Penetration Testing: Check your local data storage security, backend API vulnerabilities, network traffic encryption, session handling and client-side code strength for exploitable security flaws.
- External & Internal Penetration Testing: Assess your digital defenses from outside and inside your network.
- Firewall Configuration Assessments: Evaluate your network firewall’s rules, policies and settings to find security gaps, misconfigurations and compliance risks.
- Internal Vulnerability Assessments: Examine your private network from the inside to find security weaknesses, missing software patches and bad configurations before an attacker or rogue insider can exploit them.
- Vulnerability Management Program Assessments: See how well you find, rank, fix and track security weaknesses in your computer systems.
- Voice Phishing Assessment: Check how well your employees recognize and respond to malicious phone calls.
What to Expect: Our usual penetration testing takes 3 to 6 weeks, includes 2 to 4 formal interviews and requires 10 to 20 hours from your team.
Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Compliance Support
Audits and frameworks are easier to manage with the right preparation. We help you get ready, demonstrate your controls are working and meet the requirements that apply to your business.
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) Compliance Support & Assessment: Test your computer systems, policies and payment processes against the official PCI DSS before an audit happens.
- HIPAA Security & Privacy Rule Support: Evaluate whether a software system, vendor service or healthcare organization meets federal standards for protecting patient health data.
- Framework Alignment for NIST, ISO, IEC 27001 & CMMC: Map your current cybersecurity controls against established standards to identify gaps, show where your security practices overlap and help you meet legal or contracting rules without doing duplicate work.
- Audit Preparation & Evidence Support: Review internal controls, organize policies and gather required proof, like logs, receipts and reports, to check whether you’re ready for an official audit.
- Microsoft Supplier Security & Privacy Assurance (SSPA) Program: The SSPA program is a baseline data protection effort for all vendors given access to Microsoft personal or confidential data.
vCISO & Ongoing Support
Get executive-level security leadership without the cost of a full-time security executive. Our vCISO services help you establish priorities, communicate risk and keep your cybersecurity program moving forward.
- Virtual CISO (vCISO) Leadership Check: An outsourced cybersecurity executive gives you a periodic review, evaluating your security posture, policies and risk management practices to ensure your safety goals match your plans.
- Cybersecurity Program Development & Implementation: Evaluate how you build, roll out and maintain your security framework to ensure policies, technical controls and employee training protect your data and systems.
- Cybersecurity Ongoing Compliance Support: Ensure that your computer systems, data handling and security rules continuously match laws and industry standards instead of just checking once a year.
- Strategic Advice & Threat Intelligence: Identify high-level risks, macro trends and adversary motivations to help you make informed, long-term security and budget decisions
- Cybersecurity Staffing & Managed Services: Monitor your computer networks, systems and staff for digital threats.
What to Expect: Our vCISO evaluation usually takes 2 to 3 weeks, includes 3 to 4 interviews and requires 4 to 6 hours from your team.
Data Privacy Program Support & Consulting
We work within the frameworks and regulations that fit your business, including NIST, ISO, GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA. That means we can build and implement your privacy program, run third-party privacy reviews and set up data subject rights processes.
- Privacy Assessments & Audits (NIST, ISO, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA and more): Check if you follow data protection laws and rules properly.
- Privacy Program Creation & Implementation: Verify that you have built, deployed and operationalized a formal system to protect personal data and comply with applicable laws.
- Multi-Law Privacy Compliance Support: See how you handle personal data to ensure you follow local, state and global data laws.
- Customized Data Subject Rights Processes: Evaluate whether you have flexible, legally compliant workflows to handle individual privacy requests, like access, deletion or correction, tailored to specific laws and organizational structures.
- Third-Party Privacy Reviews: Assess how outside vendors, software tools or service partners handle, store and protect user data.
