What We Do

Services built for organizations that need to get it right.

Not a menu of options. A focused set of capabilities where we deliver assessor-grade outcomes.

CMMC Consulting

From gap to assessment-ready.

For: Defense contractors handling CUI who need to achieve CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 certification — and need it to hold up under a real C3PAO assessment.

Schedule a Consultation

Most firms approach CMMC as a documentation exercise. We don't. Our background is in building and validating real control environments — the kind that hold up when an assessor is actually in the room.

We scope CUI boundaries correctly from the start, which most consultants get wrong. We align your technical controls, policies, and operational practices so they're defensible — not just present on paper.

Engagement Options

Quick Look Assessment
Rapid gap snapshot against NIST 800-171 / CMMC L1–L2. Ideal for contractors who need to know where they stand — fast. Delivers a prioritized view of your exposure before you invest further.
Readiness Review
Structured evaluation with a prioritized remediation roadmap. Prepares your organization for a C3PAO assessment with a clear, sequenced plan for closing gaps that will matter under scrutiny.
Full Engagement
End-to-end CMMC advisory from scoping through assessment support. We work alongside your team across the full lifecycle — boundary definition, control implementation, evidence packaging, and assessment preparation.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Assessor-grade rigor — we know what evaluators actually look for
  • Correct CUI scoping from day one — most firms get this wrong and pay for it later
  • No tools to sell — our only interest is your readiness
  • We prepare you to be ready, not just to look ready

vCISO & Security Advisory

Senior security leadership, fractional.

For: Organizations that need executive-level cybersecurity leadership but aren't ready — or don't need — a full-time CISO hire.

Schedule a Consultation

Most organizations don't have a security gap — they have a leadership gap. Tools are purchased, policies are written, and audits are scheduled. But nobody at the leadership level has clear visibility into what the risk actually is or what to do about it.

That's what a fractional CISO fixes. We provide the accountability, communication, and strategic direction that turns a fragmented security function into a coherent program aligned to your business.

What We Deliver

Security Program Development
Build or mature a security program grounded in architecture — not checklists. Governance structures, risk frameworks, and operational practices that create real accountability at the leadership level.
Risk-Informed Decision Support
Translate complex technical risk into clear executive and board-level language. Help leadership make faster, more confident decisions about security investment and risk tolerance.
Ongoing Advisory
Regular engagement cadence as your senior security voice — for leadership meetings, vendor evaluations, incident response planning, and strategic decisions that carry security implications.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Architecture before checklists — strategy grounded in actual risk
  • No vendor relationships, no kickbacks — advice with no conflicts of interest
  • Executive-level communication as a core deliverable, not an afterthought
  • Aligned to CIS Controls v8, NIST CSF 2.0, and your specific risk environment

GRC & Controls Engineering

Controls that rationalize. Programs that hold.

For: Organizations managing overlapping compliance obligations across multiple frameworks — and tired of maintaining separate programs for each one.

Schedule a Consultation

Governance, Risk, and Compliance work done correctly eliminates redundancy, reduces audit burden, and produces outputs that hold up when it matters. Done incorrectly, it creates stacks of documentation that fail the moment a real assessor or auditor arrives.

We rationalize controls across multiple frameworks simultaneously — SCF, NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8 — so a single implementation satisfies multiple requirements. The result is less overhead and stronger defensibility.

What We Deliver

Controls Mapping & Rationalization
Map your existing controls across SCF, NIST CSF 2.0, and CIS Controls v8. Eliminate overlap, identify gaps, and build a unified control framework that satisfies multiple compliance obligations.
Policy & Procedure Development
Assessor-ready documentation written by practitioners — not lawyers. Policies that reflect how your organization actually operates, not how a template assumes it does.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk
Assess and manage risk across your supply chain. Identify high-risk suppliers, apply appropriate controls, and build a third-party risk program that satisfies regulatory expectations.
Audit Preparation & Evidence Packaging
Organize and present your control evidence so assessors and auditors can validate it efficiently. We know what they look for and how they look for it.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Multi-framework rationalization — one implementation, multiple compliance obligations satisfied
  • Outputs written for auditors, not for internal use only
  • We write like practitioners — clear, direct, defensible
  • Reduced audit redundancy as a measurable outcome

AI Governance & Security

Get ahead of AI risk before it becomes liability.

For: Organizations adopting AI tools who recognize the risk but haven't yet built the governance structures to manage it.

Schedule a Consultation

Organizations are adopting AI tools faster than their governance structures can keep pace. The risk is real — data exposure, regulatory liability, uncontrolled third-party access — and most organizations don't yet have the frameworks in place to manage it.

This is an emerging practice area, and the window to get ahead of it is now. We help organizations build AI governance frameworks grounded in NIST AI RMF before the exposure becomes a problem.

What We Deliver

AI Risk Assessment
Evaluate how AI tools are currently being used across your organization, identify unmanaged risk, and establish a baseline for governance.
AI Governance Framework
Design and implement a governance structure aligned to NIST AI RMF — covering accountability, risk management, transparency, and control over AI system behavior.
AI Acceptable Use Policy
Develop clear, enforceable policies governing AI use across your organization — protecting data, managing liability, and setting expectations at every level.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Grounded in NIST AI RMF and emerging standards — not theoretical frameworks
  • Practitioner-led — we apply the same rigor we bring to CMMC and GRC
  • Early engagement advantage — get governance in place before regulators require it
