We run audit readiness exactly how your audit will actually be conducted. We scope against your specific framework, test against standards like the NIST RMF and OIG's Seven Elements, and build policy and live evidence early to ensure you have a genuine audit period rather than a last-minute scramble.
Your auditor doesn't grade intent. They grade evidence. The gap between "we do that" and "here are six months of tickets, approvals, and logs that show we do that" is where findings come from, and where organizations burn through engineering quarters trying to reconstruct history.
We run audit readiness the way the audit will run: scoped against the framework, the auditor, and the customer obligation; tested against NIST RMF tasks and the OIG's Seven Elements; remediated with policy, control, and evidence built to the standard your auditor uses, and stood up early enough that the period is real, not assembled the week before.
Six months of tickets, approvals, and logs. Reconstructed after the fact reads as reconstructed.
A control that operates has an owner. The rest are sentences in a policy nobody runs.
No forum and no cadence means no record of the decisions fieldwork will ask about.
The framework, the auditor, and the customer obligation each test something different.
A customer, investor, or regulator just made a framework non-negotiable. You have a date, a scope, and no defensible path to ready.
You passed last year. New systems, new people, and a new auditor partner mean this year is not a copy-paste. Internal owners are already stretched.
You're running SOC 2 for customers, HIPAA for operations, and a state rule on top. Three teams, three binders, three versions of the same answer.
Want to see where your gaps are? Take the 15-minute readiness assessment →
Every control in your target framework mapped to the system, owner, and evidence type that satisfies it, cross-mapped to NIST RMF tasks and HITRUST CSF control categories so one map serves multiple audits.
Gaps ranked by auditor impact, effort, and dependency. Your engineering team can staff it without guessing priority.
Automated collection where systems support it, documented cadence where they don't. Evidence captured as it happens, not reconstructed before fieldwork.
Written the way your auditor reads them. Reviewed in mock sessions before the real one, so the first time you hear the question isn't the real one.
Your internal lead knows the framework, the evidence, the auditor's logic, and how to chair the GRC forum after we hand off. We hand off a program, not a binder.
The control set, evidence base, and forum we stand up here become the foundation for running GRC as a program, not repeating this sprint next year.
We align to the exact framework, auditor, customer obligation, or regulator you're answering to. Categorization, control selection, and ownership are decided with your internal lead, not presented back to them. Cross-mapped against NIST RMF and HITRUST CSF so the work doesn't get redone next year.
We test the controls the way an auditor will. Interviews, artifact review, and walkthroughs on the systems that carry risk, not a questionnaire. Gaps are ranked by auditor visibility and remediation order.
Real fixes. Policy rewritten to the current control environment, technical controls reconfigured where they fail, evidence collection stood up where it was missing, working-group ownership assigned where compliance was orphaned.
We stay in the room. Mock audits, response drafts, and on-call support through fieldwork. Your team presents, we make sure they can.
Control mapping across SOC 2, HITRUST CSF, HIPAA, PCI, NYDFS, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF, one environment, many frameworks, cross-mapped to NIST RMF tasks.
See expertiseContinuous collection of artifact, log, ticket, and approval data. The period is captured as it happens, not reconstructed later.
See expertiseAudit-grade logging across cloud, endpoint, and application estate, retained and searchable for the windows your framework requires.
See expertisePolicy written to the control environment you actually operate. Reviewed against auditor expectations before it goes into your program.
