Scoped to your environment
No two environments carry the same risks. We scope the work to your compliance objectives, your industry, and the way your systems are built.
Our team has done this work inside Big Four firms and in industry. We know how auditors evaluate controls, which means we know exactly what to look for and what your evidence needs to show.
IT General Controls (ITGCs)
Logical access, change management, backup and recovery, and operations controls. Tested against SOC 2 criteria, SOX requirements, or other frameworks.
Application controls
Input, processing, and output controls within your key applications. Interface controls and configuration settings that affect data integrity.
Risk identification and prioritization
We surface risks that matter most given your business model and audit obligations. Findings are ranked so you know where to focus first.
Practical recommendations
Every finding comes with a clear remediation path: what to fix, how to fix it, and what the evidence should look like. Written for your team, not for the auditor.
We know what auditors look for. Because we are auditors.
Our team comes from Big Four IT audit practices. We bring that depth to your risk and control assessment, without the overhead or the slow turnaround.
