Advisory Services

Leveraging world-class experience to evaluate, implement, and manage security programs.

Compliance Readiness & Remediation
If you are preparing for a compliance assessment or just want to see how your current control posture stacks up against an industry framework, a readiness/gap assessment may be a sound decision. We provide holistic assessments to evaluate your readiness for an external audit, resulting in a detailed gap analysis report. Our reports contain actionable recommendations to mitigate identified gaps and best practice suggestions for identified vulnerabilities.

We offer this service as a complimentary benefit to organizations who contract with us for subsequent examinations.

Security & Privacy Program Design

If you need assistance on the build-out and design of your security controls to achieve your compliance initiatives, it may benefit your organization to have an external party, like Assurance Point, to provide an independent and experienced perspective. We can design and assist in the implementation of your security controls to help secure your environment and ensure your external audits run smoothly. We can also partner with your organization to help maintain your program and organize key documentation to evidence the effectiveness of your controls.

We structure our programs based on industry-accepted frameworks and regulations, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, and GDPR. We know what your auditors want to see – because we are auditors!

Compliance Program & Audit Management
Do you have a sound handle on your security program but just need a hand to manage and coordinate your audits? Your resources are busy, and the effort doesn’t justify a full-time employee.
We can serve as an internal project manager for your audits and relieve the burden on internal personnel. We speak the audit language; therefore, we can review audit evidence for appropriateness, review auditor findings and recommendations, and can create efficiencies to reduce audit fees.

Internal Audit & Risk Assessment
Security frameworks, such as ISO 27001, often require an independent evaluation of your security program and controls to maintain compliance. Internal audits are also an excellent way to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement with reduced external exposure.

Many organizations find it difficult to source internal personnel with the expertise to perform an internal audit who are also truly independent of the operation of the environment being audited. Outsourcing this function not only provides a truly independent perspective but also valuable expertise from a spectrum of industries that may not be available internally.

Temporary Staffing

If you are a security or compliance assessment firm that has demand exceeding current resource capacity but cannot quite justify full-time hires, we offer temporary staffing arrangements to help you fulfill your projects.

We are experienced security, privacy, and compliance auditors who can efficiently and independently execute on your projects within your budget constraints. Don’t lose the job due to lack of personnel.

Partner with Assurance Point so you do not have to worry about resource capacity until you can justify that full-time hire.
