Accelerate Your Compliance Certification

Catalyst

Our Catalyst methodology delivers rapid compliance for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR or ISO 27001 within your existing GRC environment. Below is our comprehensive approach

Security, Compliance & Privacy - Without the Burden

Our Catalyst Plan is designed to help your organization become audit ready quickly for frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, or any other governance, risk, and compliance framework of your choice. From the very first stage, our team works closely with you, remaining responsive to questions on strategic compliance decisions, guiding your team on proven industry practices, and helping shape and direct the compliance objectives of your organization.

We begin by implementing and configuring your GRC platform for optimal performance. This includes integrating automated evidence collection tools, mapping every control accurately, troubleshooting errors, and assigning clear ownership so responsibilities are well defined. At the same time, we assess your compliance readiness by evaluating your organization’s goals and current posture, identifying critical gaps, and creating realistic timelines for closing them.

Recognizing that every business operates within its own unique environment, we create custom policies and procedures that reflect your risk tolerance, operational needs, and industry best practices. We also design, customize, and test security and compliance controls to ensure they fit seamlessly into your workflows while meeting regulatory requirements.

When it is time for external audits, we can serve as your primary point of contact with auditors. We represent your security and compliance program, manage discussions, and involve your internal teams only when necessary. We also provide coaching so your team is fully prepared to navigate the audit process with confidence.

Our support extends to technical validation as well. We help define the scope of penetration tests, explain the differences between testing methods, recommend trusted vendors, and ensure resources are used in the most effective way. We also conduct a compliance ready risk assessment to establish a foundational risk register, assign risk owners, and develop clear action plans and priorities.

To prepare your organization for real world scenarios, we facilitate and document tabletop exercises including one focused on disaster recovery and another on incident response. We also develop standard operating procedures for vendor risk management, ensuring vendor assessments and procurement processes are centralized and consistent.

Security fundamentals are addressed through the creation of patch and vulnerability management policies that cover infrastructure, code, applications, and workstations including continuous integration and deployment processes. For incident management, we design policies and procedures, conduct tabletop tests, and incorporate a lessons learned feedback loop to drive continuous improvement.

We also establish business continuity and disaster recovery frameworks complete with policies, standard operating procedures, testing, and post test reviews so your organization remains resilient in the face of disruptions. Finally, we build a foundational threat management program that ensures proper logging, forensic capabilities, and visibility into potential threats, enabling thorough investigations when needed.

In summary, our Catalyst Plan offers a complete and hands on path to achieving compliance readiness, covering strategy, implementation, technical execution, and long term operational resilience.

Rapid Response Protocol

You will be assigned a dedicated Security Advisor who will be available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in their local time zone, Monday through Friday, except on bank holidays, company offsite events, and scheduled company breaks. All exceptions will be communicated to you in advance. We understand that security and compliance are priorities around the clock, and we believe we can best exceed your expectations when we invest in our team’s learning and development and provide them with the time they need to recharge.

You will receive weekly status updates outlining what has been completed, what is planned next, and whether your initiatives are progressing according to schedule.

For straightforward questions, such as a request for a list of potential vendors, submitted before 3 p.m. in your account manager’s time zone, you can expect a same-day response.

For more complex questions, such as requests for policy changes, submitted before 3 p.m., you can expect a same-day acknowledgment along with an estimated timeline for providing a complete answer or delivering the required work.

While our account teams work with multiple clients at the same time, we maintain an industry leading ratio that allows us to accelerate your security and compliance programs without compromising on quality. Our award winning firm has helped more than two hundred organizations achieve audit readiness ahead of schedule, and we are committed to delivering the same level of success for you.
