Our Process
Tailored Gap Analysis and Scoping

We work with your team to assess existing compliance practices, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement. Our scoping process focuses on:

Regulatory obligations specific to your institution’s operations.

Integration of overlapping requirements for streamlined compliance.

Identifying high-priority risks for immediate remediation.

Partnering with stakeholders to understand environments and processes.

Risk Assessment

We provide an optional approach to identify and thoroughly understand your organization’s risks. Risk analysis forms a basis for understanding the inherent areas of improvement with the scope of assessment.

Mapping of threats to applicable organizational or department specific risks

Identification of proactive measures to mitigate identified risks.

Support in development of a risk management strategy (e.g., methodology).

Controls Evaluation

We evaluate your institution’s current control environment against regulatory standards, ensuring:

Comprehensive mapping of controls to applicable regulations.

Sufficient evidence collection for coverage of controls and their accepted interpretations.

Duplicate review based on the unified mapping across frameworks (i.e., collect once and assess across many).
