Security & Compliance Posture Review
Find the weaknesses that would hurt you — not a checkbox exercise.
Risk matrix, access and secrets review, remediation roadmap, and SOC 2 / GDPR / CCPA readiness notes. Readiness work that tells you what to fix first, not audit theater.
Starts with
Access controls, secrets management, logging, and the systems that actually hold the crown jewels.
You leave with
A ranked exposure list, a 30/60/90 hardening plan, and named owners for the first fixes.
Fit
Is this for you?
Teams approaching SOC 2, GDPR, or CCPA requirements. Startups scaling past 'everyone is admin.' Operators who know something is wrong but can't prioritize across competing alerts.
Probably not if
- Penetration testing or red-team exercises — we scope readiness, not offensive security.
- Compliance certification body work — we prepare you; an auditor certifies.
Deliverables
What you receive.
- Risk matrix: threats, likelihood, impact, and current controls
- Access and secrets review: IAM policies, credential storage, rotation gaps
- Non-human identity review: service accounts and agent credentials, their scopes, and how they get revoked
- Logging and monitoring assessment for security-relevant events
- Remediation roadmap prioritized by exposure and compliance timeline
- SOC 2 / GDPR / CCPA readiness notes with gap analysis
Build options
What we can deliver after.
The diagnostic is the front door. If the roadmap still needs hands on the work, these are the typical next steps — scoped from the problem, not from a menu.
- IAM hardening and least-privilege rollout
- Secrets management migration (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, or your stack)
- Security monitoring and alert routing setup
- Compliance program scaffolding: policies, evidence collection, audit prep
Scoping to delivery

- 04Week 2: logging, monitoring, and compliance gap analysis
- 05Week 2–3: risk matrix, remediation roadmap, exec readout
Typical follow-on
Post-Diagnostic Execution Retainer for hardening sprints, or Fractional Cloud / Platform Advisor for ongoing posture.
