Data security that survives
the questionnaire.

Everything that touches customer data: CRM users and roles, AWS IAM, databases, backups, integrations and the credentials behind them. The audit itself runs two to three weeks; a full hardening engagement, audit through tested restore and evidence pack, typically runs eight to twelve weeks depending on stack size.

The same five, almost every time: ex-employees with live CRM or cloud access, API keys stored in spreadsheets or chat, admin roles handed out as the default, backups that have never been restored, and integrations holding far broader scopes than they use. None require an attacker to become an incident, and all are fixable in weeks.

Certification is an independent CPA firm auditing your controls and issuing the report; readiness is everything before that, controls implemented, policies written, evidence collected, gaps closed. We do the readiness engineering and prepare the evidence pack, then work alongside the auditor you choose. Many clients find readiness alone answers their customers’ questionnaires without a full audit.

CRMs concentrate your most sensitive data behind the loosest access control in the company: shared logins, everyone-is-admin roles, exports to CSV nobody logs, and OAuth-connected apps with full-scope tokens that outlive the vendor relationship. Because the CRM sits outside IT’s usual tooling, offboarding routinely misses it, which is why ex-employee access is our single most common finding.

No, remediation is the engagement, not the upsell. Critical findings like exposed keys and stale accounts are fixed the same week we confirm them, inside the agreed scope. The final report describes what was found, what was fixed and what remains, ranked by blast radius, so nothing lands on your desk as homework.

We harden; we don’t pentest our own work, grading your own homework is exactly what a questionnaire reviewer will flag. When a customer or auditor requires a pentest, we scope it, bring in an independent testing firm we trust, and handle the remediation of whatever they find. You get an honest external test and an engineering team already in place to act on it.

Not if it’s sequenced properly. Every integration is inventoried before any scope is cut, changes are staged and tested against real workflows, and each revocation ships with a rollback. Least privilege done right is invisible to people doing their jobs, the only users who notice are the ones who shouldn’t have had access anyway.

The audit is fixed-price, scoped to your stack size, and quoted before we start. Hardening work is a fixed project priced from the audit’s findings; quarterly access reviews and posture reports run as a light retainer you can stop anytime. No appliance markups, no per-seat fees, you own every policy, script and runbook we produce.
