Security Audit and Readiness Assessment · Security Advisory

Where do we stand against our framework, and what do we fix first?

For CISOs, IT leaders, CFOs, and legal, compliance or risk leaders

Talk to us about thisHow it works
You receiveAgreed scope, audience and timeline · Control gap assessment against the chosen framework · Policy-to-control-to-evidence traceability map
What we need from youA sponsor, the framework or requirement, access to control owners for interviews, and existing evidence, shared under NDA.
Timing and scopeScoped to your framework, environment and audience, and confirmed in the proposal. This is a readiness and gap assessment; independent auditors and certification bodies issue the formal opinion.
What happens nextA written recommendation. If you proceed, a scoped proposal for the next stage.

We assess your controls against the framework your auditor, customer or regulator uses, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, CMMC or NIST CSF, or against good practice if none is formalized yet. You receive a prioritized gap list with remediation guidance and an owner for each item, an evidence trail that shows policy, control and proof line up, and a plain-language summary your board can read. We then re-review the items you have fixed. This is a readiness and gap assessment; independent auditors and certification bodies issue the formal opinion.

Good to know

Questions leaders ask

Is this an audit?

It is a readiness and gap assessment. Kalosys produces evidence and remediation guidance; independent auditors and certification bodies issue opinions and certifications.

Which frameworks do you assess against?

The one you are measured on, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, CMMC or NIST CSF. If none is formalized yet, we assess against good practice.

How long does it take?

Timing depends on the framework, environment and audience. We confirm it in the proposal after scoping.

Does this answer our legal or insurance obligations?

Questions about legal obligations are best answered by your counsel, and coverage questions by your broker. We produce careful, factual documentation and the evidence underwriters usually ask for.

What do you need from us?

A sponsor, the framework or requirement, access to control owners for interviews, and existing evidence, shared under NDA.

Can the work be done under our counsel?

That is an option to discuss. Our CISO can talk it through with you and your counsel.
