How it works

A structured approach to compliance, led by experts.

Step 1

Initial Review

We begin with a comprehensive gap analysis to understand your current security posture, identify vulnerabilities, and assess your maturity against standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and DevSecOps best practices. Using the Vanta platform, we evaluate your technical environment, organizational readiness, and risk exposure.

 

We also review your compliance calendar and planned activities to build a clear, prioritized roadmap toward certification or attestation.

 

Typical areas of review include:

  • Security controls and policies

  • Risk register and incident response capabilities

  • Asset inventory (hardware, software, and data)

  • Roles, responsibilities, and internal security governance

  • Third-party/vendor risk management

  • Compliance maturity (e.g. ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR)

  • Existing documentation and configurations in Vanta

  • The outcome is a focused, actionable plan to close key gaps and guide your journey toward audit readiness and continuous compliance.
