Compliance is not a checkbox exercise — it is the documentation that proves your security program works when regulators, auditors, insurance carriers, and clients demand evidence. The gap between doing security and proving you do security is where most organizations lose time, revenue, and contracts. Forged manages the full compliance lifecycle: gap assessments, control mapping, policy development, evidence collection, POAM management, and audit preparation across CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001. The efficiency advantage is structural — because Forged also deploys and manages the security controls being audited, the evidence collection, remediation, and documentation happen inside one engagement instead of across three separate vendors who do not talk to each other.
Control-by-control evaluation of your current posture against your target framework. Every gap documented with severity, remediation effort, and timeline. You know exactly where you stand before the auditor arrives.
Framework controls mapped to your actual infrastructure, policies, and procedures. Controls that exist get documented. Controls that don't exist get implemented. No control left as 'partially implemented' without a plan.
Systematic collection, organization, and maintenance of audit evidence — screenshots, configurations, logs, policies, and attestations. Ready for auditor review, not scrambled together the week before.
Security policies written for your organization — not generic templates with your logo pasted on. Acceptable use, access control, data classification, incident response, vendor management, and more.
Pre-audit readiness reviews, evidence package assembly, auditor question preparation, and on-site support during the audit itself. We've been through hundreds of audits — your team doesn't have to figure it out alone.
Compliance isn't annual — it's continuous. Ongoing control monitoring, evidence refresh, policy updates, and drift detection so you're audit-ready at any time, not just during audit season.
We identify which frameworks apply to your organization — driven by customer requirements, regulatory obligations, insurance mandates, and business strategy. Then we scope the assessment to your specific environment.
Every control in the target framework assessed against your current state. Gaps categorized by severity and effort. A remediation plan built with realistic timelines that align with your audit date.
Gaps don't close themselves. We implement the missing controls — deploying technology, writing policies, configuring systems, and building the evidence collection processes that keep you compliant ongoing.
Evidence packages assembled, pre-audit review conducted, and your team prepared for auditor questions. During the audit, we're available to clarify controls, locate evidence, and address findings in real-time.
Control-by-control evaluation with current state, gap description, severity, remediation recommendation, and estimated effort. The foundation document for your compliance program.
Every framework control mapped to your specific implementation — which policy, which system, which configuration, and where the evidence lives. Your auditor's favorite document.
Complete set of information security policies tailored to your organization and aligned to your target framework. Written in plain language, approved by leadership, and maintained on a review schedule.
Organized collection of all audit evidence — configurations, screenshots, logs, attestations, and policies. Indexed by control number for rapid retrieval during audit.
Living document tracking every identified gap from discovery through closure. Status, owner, timeline, and evidence of completion for each item. Your project management tool for compliance.
Pre-assembled package for your auditor — control matrix, evidence index, policy suite, and system documentation. Reduces audit duration and demonstrates organizational maturity.
Enterprise customers requiring SOC 2 as a condition of doing business. We manage the entire process — scoping, gap assessment, remediation, evidence collection, and auditor coordination.
Healthcare organizations or business associates handling protected health information. Security Risk Assessment, policy development, workforce training, and breach notification procedures.
Organizations processing, storing, or transmitting cardholder data. Network segmentation, access controls, encryption, monitoring, and SAQ or ROC preparation.
Defense contractors and subcontractors requiring CMMC Level 1, 2, or 3 certification. CUI identification, control implementation, SSP development, and C3PAO assessment preparation.
Organizations using NIST Cybersecurity Framework as their security baseline — voluntarily or by customer/insurance requirement. Maturity assessment, roadmap, and control implementation.
International organizations or those with global customers requiring ISO 27001. ISMS development, risk assessment methodology, Statement of Applicability, and certification audit support.
