Is this for you?

Know before you book.

An independent check that your controls meet the frameworks you answer to, so you find gaps before an official auditor does.

You likely need this if
  • You face an external audit and want a dry run first
  • You answer to several frameworks and want one view of gaps
  • You need independent evidence for customers or a regulator
  • Your controls exist on paper but you're unsure they operate
Something else may fit better
What to have ready
  • Which frameworks and which audit is coming
  • Control owners and evidence locations
  • Previous audit findings

Still not sure? Take the 2-minute check

What you walk away with.

  • Independent gap analysis against your target framework
  • An evidence package sufficient for external attestation
  • Findings ranked by materiality, not raw count
  • Remediation guidance from operators who've shipped the fixes
Scope

What we cover

Agreed in writing before testing starts.

In scope
  • PCI DSS 4.0 — RoC / SAQ readiness
  • SOC 2 Type 1 + Type 2 readiness (Trust Services Criteria)
  • DPDP Act 2023 (India) — Data Fiduciary + Data Processor
  • GDPR (EU/UK) — Article 30 records, DPIA support
  • HITRUST CSF v11 readiness
  • CIS Controls v8 assessment
  • Bespoke internal-control audits (SOX ITGC, board-directed reviews)
Not in this engagement
  • Third-party attestation issuance — we do not sign SOC 2 reports (a regulated activity); we get you ready for the CPA firm that does
Approach

How we run it.

  1. 01

    Framework selection + scoping

    One framework? Several? A crosswalk? We scope the audit so it satisfies your regulator without ballooning cost.

  2. 02

    Evidence gathering

    Interviews, control walkthroughs, sample-based testing, log inspection, configuration review.

  3. 03

    Gap analysis

    Every control mapped, evidenced, and scored — organized by materiality.

  4. 04

    Remediation roadmap

    Actionable, prioritized, sized. The operator-grade recommendation, not a policy rewrite.

  5. 05

    Report + attestation support

    Executive report + evidence pack. Optional support during your external CPA / attestation firm's audit.

Questions

Asked before every engagement.

Do you issue SOC 2 reports?

No — SOC 2 attestation is a regulated activity restricted to licensed CPA firms. We get you ready. Many clients use us for readiness and then engage a Big-4 or regional CPA firm for issuance.

Can you audit us against multiple frameworks in one pass?

Yes. We commonly run PCI + SOC 2 + ISO 27001 crosswalks in a single engagement, since the evidence overlaps meaningfully.

Do you serve India-based clients under DPDP?

Yes. We handle Data Fiduciary + Data Processor readiness, including grievance-officer readiness and consent-management-platform review.
