Longer answer: take stock of your software, processes, monitoring, and access points and look for any current vulnerabilities or areas of weakness.

Cyber Compliance Assessment & Audits:

Security Standards Check

Passing a cyber compliance assessment isn’t easy, but it’s necessary for your business to thrive. To get contracts, grants, cyber insurance, and trust from customers, your business needs a base level of security to protect against attackers aiming to access your business’ secure files and data. 

At Hyper Vigilance, our expertise is preparing our clients for their cyber compliance audit by providing thorough, effective, and cost-efficient assessment support services no matter what compliance requirements they need to achieve.

Cyber Compliance Assessment & Audits: Security Standards Check

Our Compliance Assessment and Audits Process

We start our compliance audit support services by conducting an assessment of your current cybersecurity posture. This includes walking through each control and comparing it to the security controls of your chosen compliance framework whether that be NIST 171, ISO 27001, or HIPAA. Once we determine how well you are meeting those controls, we devise a remediation and mitigation plan to align your current operations using a risk-based approach to combat any cybersecurity threats. This project plan, once implemented, will have you prepared to schedule your official CMMC Audit.

Cyber Compliance Assessment & Audits: Security Standards Check

What is a compliance standards assessment?

Different from a CMMC Audit, a compliance risk assessment takes a high-level view of your security posture, explores what controls you meet, what practices you follow, and maps out a general game plan of how to address the gaps in your current setup. This no long-term commitment first step is a great way to dip your toes into the complex world of cybersecurity.
