Vendor Assessment

A fixed-fee, deep-dive review of a vendor's security questionnaire responses, documentation, and public posture — evaluated against the standard driving your need (SOC 2, HIPAA, cyber insurance, or a customer's requirements).

Compliance Gap Analysis

Gap analysis against SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria or HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules — what's in place, what's missing, and a prioritized roadmap to close it.
