Aligned to: CMMC · NIST 800-171 · FAR 52.204-21 · ISO/IEC 27001
Right-sized cybersecurity compliance for small government contractors.
We help small businesses meet CMMC and federal cybersecurity requirements without the overhead of an enterprise compliance program — scoped to what your organization actually needs.
What we do:
Focused compliance advisory for organizations that don't need — and shouldn't pay for — more than they actually require.
CMMC Level 1 Advisory
Scoping, gap assessment, evidence documentation, and self-assessment support for organizations handling Federal Contract Information — no third-party certification required.
GRC & Risk Advisory
Risk assessments, policy development, and security program design grounded in your actual operations, not a generic template.

GRC & Risk Advisory
Generic policy libraries and templated risk assessments look complete on paper but rarely hold up under real scrutiny, because they were never built around your actual operations. We assess your organization's real risk landscape and obligations first, then build governance and policy practices that fit what you actually do — the same discipline applied to enterprise programs, scaled to your size, and built to be sustained rather than shelved after one audit.
What's included:
Company-wide or targeted security risk assessments, scoped to your environment
Policy library development and review, coordinated with legal/compliance stakeholders
Regulatory and framework alignment (ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, and others as relevant)
Pre-audit readiness support (e.g., ahead of FINRA, SOC 2, or similar reviews)
Security program design and ongoing governance advisory
Who this is for:
Organizations that need a security program grounded in their actual operations, not a generic checklist
Businesses preparing for a specific regulatory or client-driven audit
Leadership teams that need buy-in and documentation across departments, not just a technical fix
Organizations whose risk profile doesn't fit neatly into a single off-the-shelf framework
What this isn't:
A templated policy package dropped in with no customization to your environment
A substitute for legal advice — policy work is coordinated with, not a replacement for, your legal counsel
A one-time engagement with no path to sustaining the program afterward (an ongoing advisory relationship is available if useful)
CMMC Level 1 Advisory
CMMC Level 1 self-assessment is now a requirement for small businesses handling Federal Contract Information under DoD contracts — no third-party certification needed, but getting the scope and evidence right on your own is harder than it looks. We specialize in exactly this: small businesses on standard tools like Google Workspace, with no in-house compliance team, who need it done right without an enterprise-scale engagement.
What's included:
FCI boundary scoping — identifying exactly which systems, accounts, and data are in scope (and confirming what isn't)
Gap assessment against all 15 required practices under FAR 52.204-21
Evidence collection guidance — what actually counts as adequate documentation, and how to build a retention-ready file
A final assessment report and methodology memo for your records
Direct support for your senior official through the SPRS affirmation process
Optional annual re-affirmation retainer
Who this is for:
Small businesses newly encountering CMMC in a contract or solicitation
Organizations handling FCI only — not Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Businesses running on standard commercial IT (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) with no dedicated security or compliance staff
Prime contractors who need their subcontractors to demonstrate compliance
What this isn't:
CMMC Level 2 certification, which requires assessment by an accredited C3PAO — if your environment involves CUI, we'll tell you directly and point you toward the right path rather than take on work outside our scope
A guarantee of any specific outcome — no advisor can promise a passing assessment, only a properly scoped and evidenced one

INITIATIVE: Risk Assessments
SCOPE: Conduct company-wide security risk assessments
RESULTS: Successful completion
Completed comprehensive security risk assessments for global organizations across multiple sectors. Key milestones:
Secured executive and team leadership buy-in across the technology stack
Performed documentation and evidence reviews with technology teams
Validated findings with security stakeholders
Delivered final executive-level reports and recommendations
INITIATIVE: Governance — Policy Suite
SCOPE: Organization-wide
RESULTS: Comprehensive policy libraries tailored to organizations across industries.
Off-the-shelf policy packages provide a starting point, but one-size-fits-all solutions rarely meet operational, legal, or compliance needs.
Assess each policy's relevance to your specific organization before adoption
Vet and tailor selected policies rather than deploying them as-is
Implement in direct collaboration with your legal and compliance stakeholders
Deliver a governance framework that's practical, compliant, and fit for purpose
Compliance Audit — BCP/DR & Security Requirements
Regulatory compliance varies widely from company to company, and knowing exactly how your security practice measures up to that scrutiny is the first real question to answer.
Assess current BCP/DR and security posture against applicable regulatory requirements
Identify gaps before an external auditor does
Prepare documentation and evidence ahead of formal review
Physical Security Implementation
Physical security is part of a complete security program — outdated measures leave gaps that technical controls alone can't close.
Audit existing physical security measures across office locations
Evaluate and recommend solutions suited to your facilities
Implement policy and procedural documentation to govern ongoing use
Security Program Management
A security program only works if day-to-day practice actually reflects your organization's mission and obligations — not just a policy on paper.
Align security operations with organizational objectives and constraints
Build project management practices that support your team rather than slow it down
Establish a sustainable, ongoing GRC practice rather than a one-time fix
