Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Consulting

Compliance programs fail when they live in a binder instead of in your operations.

Who this is for

Defense contractors, manufacturers, and R&D organizations that handle CUI and have outgrown ad-hoc compliance. If your policies were written to pass a questionnaire, or nobody can say who owns a given control, this is the engagement.

Problems we address

  • Policies that describe an organization you don’t have
  • No traceable link between requirements, implementation, and evidence
  • Risk accepted informally, with no record of who decided or why
  • Compliance knowledge concentrated in one person’s head
  • Audit preparation that restarts from zero every cycle

Scope and approach

We start by establishing what is actually true: current state, real data flows, and where controlled information lives. From there we build the governance structures that make compliance repeatable — assigned control ownership, documented risk decisions, and a review cadence that fits your staffing rather than an idealized org chart.

We work in your environment, with your tools. There is no parallel compliance universe to maintain.

Typical deliverables

  • Control ownership matrix mapped to NIST SP 800-171 requirements
  • Policy and procedure set written against your actual operations
  • Risk register with documented acceptance decisions and rationale
  • Evidence collection model and repository structure
  • Governance calendar for reviews, updates, and recurring attestations

Framework and technology context

NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 and Rev. 3, DFARS 252.204-7012, CMMC Level 2, and NIST SP 800-53 where required by contract.

If compliance has become something you maintain rather than something you can prove, let’s talk.
