The standard or regulation, the systems and the business units in scope are fixed.
You see · Your audit or regulatory driver.
02Evidence collection & interviews
Policies, configurations and records reviewed; control owners interviewed.
You see · Documents and time with control owners.
03Gap analysis
Each requirement mapped to current state: met, partial or missing, with the evidence behind it.
You see · A clear gap register.
04Roadmap & evidence plan
Prioritized remediation with owners, and the evidence an auditor will ask for.
You see · A plan you can execute or hand to us.

Scoping call
A practitioner, not a salesperson, walks through targets, constraints and what a good outcome looks like for you.
- 02
Proposal & rules of engagement
A fixed-scope proposal with tier, price and deliverables. Rules of engagement, contacts and out-of-bounds systems are agreed in writing.
- 03
Sign, then start
MSA and SOW are signed electronically and the deposit is paid. Only then does testing begin.
- 04
Execution
Testing runs to the agreed plan. Critical findings are escalated as they are found; you don't wait for the report.
- 05
Report & debrief
An executive summary plus technical findings with evidence, reproduction steps and fixes, walked through with your team.
- 06
Retest
Where the tier includes it, we verify your fixes and reissue the report, so auditors and customers see the issues closed.
Timelines are set per engagement in the SOW.

Inside the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark: Who Actually Certifies Your Smart Doorbell
The FCC's IoT label program has been announced so many times that most people assume it already exists. It doesn't — no CyberLAB has been recognized and no product applications are open.
