Our approach

Our Compliance Methodology

One methodology. One team. Every framework.

How we run compliance engagements, why our delivery model costs less than the Big 4, and how we turn multiple frameworks into a single managed program.

The lifecycle

DMAIC methodology, applied to compliance.

Every engagement follows the same five-phase structure. Define the scope, measure the gap, analyze what to close first, improve the program, and control posture over time.

D

Define

Scoping call. We identify target frameworks, buyer requirements, existing posture, and timeline.

M

Measure

Gap assessment. Controls in place, controls missing, documentation gaps, and risk exposure.

A

Analyze

Prioritized remediation roadmap. We map the gap between current state and audit-ready.

I

Improve

Full program delivery. Policy development, control implementation, evidence, auditor coordination.

C

Control

Ongoing monitoring. vCISO or DPO retainer, annual recertification, continuous posture management.

Coverage

One engagement, every framework you need.

You don't need a separate consultant for SOC 2, another for GDPR, and a third for ISO 42001. The control overlap is substantial. Most programs that pursue two frameworks cost only 30-50% more than one.

The operating promise

How we actually work.

Scoped individually

Every engagement is scoped to your product, team, and timeline. No platform licensing fees. No annual subscriptions. The price reflects the work, not a seat count.

Custom policies, not templates

Policies written around how your team actually operates. Template policies fail audits when the auditor's testing matrix doesn't match your environment. Ours pass cleanly.

CPA-attested, IAF-accredited

SOC 2 reports attested by licensed US CPAs under US CPA firm letterheads. ISO certificates issued through IAF-accredited certification bodies. The same output your buyers expect from a Big 4 engagement.

Consultant-managed, not self-serve

Automation platforms make you do the work yourself. We do the work. Gap assessment, policy development, control implementation, evidence collection, auditor coordination, through to final report.
