A mid-Atlantic defense contractor facing CMMC Level 2 assessment had engaged two previous consulting firms, both of which provided incomplete gap analyses. Leadership had been assured the organization was "nearly compliant," but internal concerns persisted about the accuracy of those assessments.
We conducted an independent assessment against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, comparing documented policies to actual practice. We identified 23 controls with material gaps, prioritized them by assessment risk, and developed remediation plans with the contractor's IT and security leadership.
The organization achieved CMMC Level 2 certification on its first assessment attempt with zero findings requiring remediation. The engagement also resulted in improved security documentation practices that the organization continues to maintain.
A regional healthcare network operating twelve facilities across three states had no unified cybersecurity strategy. Each facility managed security independently, resulting in inconsistent controls, duplicated spending, and significant gaps in incident response capability.
We assessed the security posture across all twelve facilities, identified common gaps and unnecessary redundancies, and developed an enterprise security strategy aligned with HIPAA requirements and the organization's operational realities, including budget constraints and staffing limitations.
The network adopted a three-year security roadmap with quarterly milestones. First-year priorities were implemented within budget and ahead of schedule. The unified strategy eliminated an estimated 30% in redundant security spending while improving overall posture.
A mid-size financial services firm had received preliminary findings from a FINRA examination indicating deficiencies in cybersecurity governance and data protection controls. The firm needed to respond with a credible remediation plan within a compressed timeline.
We reviewed the examination findings, assessed the firm's current cybersecurity governance framework, and developed a remediation plan that addressed each finding with specific, measurable corrective actions. We worked directly with the firm's compliance and technology leadership to ensure the plan was both defensible and achievable.
The firm submitted its remediation plan ahead of the regulatory deadline. All corrective actions were completed within the committed timeframe, and the subsequent follow-up examination confirmed full remediation with no additional findings.
A defense contractor operating across four sites was managing a complex program with overlapping CMMC, ITAR, and contractual security requirements. Internal audits had identified inconsistencies between sites, but the organization lacked a unified view of where program risk actually concentrated.
We conducted site-by-site assessments against all applicable frameworks, mapped the interactions between regulatory requirements, and identified twelve areas where overlapping obligations created compliance gaps that no single framework audit would have revealed. We prioritized findings by program impact and developed a cross-site remediation roadmap.
The contractor implemented a unified compliance management approach across all four sites. The program passed its next contract compliance review without findings, and the cross-site framework continues to serve as the organization's standard operating model for multi-framework compliance.
