Honest gap assessments. Audit-ready, leadership-actionable.
Gap assessments against the framework you actually have to meet — written so leaders can act on them and auditors can rely on them. HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HITRUST, and the crosswalks between them.
Why readiness
A gap assessment is a decision document — not a compliance report.
Most assessments get scored, presented once, and shelved. Ours are scoped to the framework that matters, written for the audience that has to act, and structured so the remediation plan that comes out the back is the artifact that drives the program forward for the next twelve months.
When the audit calendar includes more than one framework, we crosswalk the controls so a single piece of evidence earns credit in multiple places. The auditor finds what they need; your team isn’t generating it three times.
What you get
Five artifacts. One audit-defensible package.
Every engagement produces the same five core deliverables — sized to the framework and the in-scope environment, but consistent in rigor and audience.
Full mapping of your environment to the framework's controls, with evidence categorized as adequate, partial, or missing — backed by interview notes and artifact references.
Findings ranked by risk, effort, and dependency. Quick-wins separated from multi-quarter projects so leadership can act without a project manager translating the report.
Policy crosswalks, evidence binders, and control narratives — built to survive an external audit, not just an internal review. Auditor-defensible from day one.
When the audit landscape includes more than one framework — HIPAA + ISO + SOC 2 — we map them once and you reuse the evidence. One control, multiple credits.
A leadership-level deck and one-page summary. Director-ready and regulator-defensible, scheduled with the full executive team and the audit committee chair.
How we engage
Scope, fieldwork, report, optional remediation.
Most engagements run six to ten weeks end to end. Senior practitioner on every meeting. Findings report and remediation plan are delivered together — never one without the other.
A two-week scoping pass. Framework selection, in-scope systems, evidence sources, and the executive sponsor named.
Four to eight weeks of evidence collection, control walkthroughs, and stakeholder interviews. The senior practitioner attends every meeting.
Findings report and remediation plan delivered together — never one without the other. Executive briefing scheduled at delivery.
Policy authoring, control implementation, and re-testing as a follow-on engagement when the team needs hands rather than reports.
Frameworks covered
Eight frameworks. One practitioner. The crosswalks come standard.
Compliant. Secure. Growing efficiently.
One working session and a 90-day plan. Senior practitioners, modern tooling, transparent pricing — no procurement cycles, no compliance theater.
