Risk & Compliance Services
Gap Assessment & Audit Support
Prepare for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and regulatory audits with a structured gap assessment, evidence-ready documentation, and practical remediation guidance—built for compliance-driven organizations in the Philippines.
What this service covers
Gap assessment vs. audit support
Both services help you pass audits, but they solve different problems. We can deliver either as a standalone engagement or as a combined readiness program.
Gap Assessment
A structured evaluation of your current controls, processes, and evidence against a target framework (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, or internal policies). Output: prioritized gaps, risk impact, and a remediation roadmap.
Audit Support
Hands-on support during audit preparation and execution—evidence packaging, control narratives, interview readiness, and auditor Q&A coordination. Output: an evidence-ready audit binder and a smoother audit cycle.
Readiness Program (Recommended)
Gap assessment + remediation guidance + evidence preparation + audit support. Output: measurable closure of gaps and a defensible evidence trail.
Ongoing Compliance Support
For teams that need continuous improvement: periodic control checks, evidence refresh, policy updates, and advisory support (vCISO/vDPO optional).
Our approach
A practical, evidence-first methodology
We focus on what auditors ask for: clear control intent, consistent implementation, and verifiable evidence—without slowing down your operations.
1) Scope & audit criteria alignment
Confirm target framework(s), in-scope systems, locations, vendors, and control boundaries. Define audit objectives, sampling expectations, and evidence formats early to avoid rework.
2) Control & process assessment
Review policies, procedures, technical configurations, and operational workflows. Validate control design and operating effectiveness through interviews and artifact review.
3) Evidence mapping & gap analysis
Map each requirement to existing evidence, identify missing/weak artifacts, and document gaps with risk context, root cause, and recommended fixes.
4) Remediation guidance & audit support
Provide prioritized remediation actions, templates, and implementation guidance. Support evidence packaging, walkthroughs, and auditor Q&A until completion.
Deliverables
What you receive
Clear outputs you can use for remediation planning, management reporting, and audit evidence submission.
Evidence preparation (what auditors typically expect)
We help you build an evidence trail that is complete, consistent, and easy to validate—so your team can answer auditor questions with confidence.
Typical evidence includes: asset inventory and data flow diagrams; access control reviews; change management records; vulnerability management outputs; incident response logs; backup/restore tests; security awareness records; vendor due diligence; and risk treatment documentation. Evidence expectations vary by framework and audit scope.
