Compliance implementation and management
Navigate Compliance with Confidence.
For businesses operating in today’s landscape, regulatory compliance isn’t a suggestion—it’s a necessity. We transform the complex, non-stop demands of compliance frameworks (like CMMC, NIST 800-53,HIPPA, ISO, and others) from a headache into a proactive, managed service.
Our team doesn’t just provide a checklist; assess, implement, and manage the technical controls, documentation, and continuous monitoring required to keep your organization aligned with critical industry and government standards. We take on the responsibility of staying current with ever-changing regulations, conducting regular risk assessments, and ensuring your IT environment is audit-ready, allowing you to focus on your core mission without fear of penalties or breaches. Partner with us to build a sustainable and robust compliance posture.
Our three-step process to establishing and maintaining compliance.
Gap Analysis
Brfore any major changes Calyra will assess your current physical and logical environment against the required (or chosen) controls to establish a current security baseline and clearly define necessary improvements.
-
Control Mapping: We will use the specified security framework (i.e., NIST, ISO 27001, HIPPA, or other regulatory standard) as the target baseline. Each control within this framework will be mapped against your existing security policies, procedures, and technical configurations.
-
Evidence Collection and Review: We’ll conduct interviews with key personnel, review documentation (e.g., security architecture diagrams, configuration files, access logs), and where applicable use automated tools to scan the environment for active settings and vulnerabilities. This ensures we capture both the “designed” and “actual” state of controls.
-
Gap Identification: We will systematically compare the collected evidence (your current contorl) against the mandated requirements (the required control). A “gap” is defined as any instance where a control is missing, partially implemented, or ineffective.
-
Improvement Definition: All identified gaps will be logged, analyzed for risk and impact, and documented in the Improvements Document, specifying the necessary remedial actions to achieve full compliance with the chosen baseline.
Implementation and Remediation
The implementation phase will involve a prioritized, phased approach to remediation, guided by the plan of action (which ranks actions by risk, impact, and effort). Specifically, Calyra will:
-
Control/Technical Adjustments: Apply configuration changes to software and infrastructure (e.g., updating firewall rules, strengthening access controls, patching critical vulnerabilities) to align with the security baseline. This includes implementing new tools or features identified as essential enhancements.
-
Policy and Procedure Integration: Revise and distribute updated security policies, operational procedures, and employee training materials to reflect the new baseline and ensure sustainable compliance across the organization.
-
Testing and Validation: Post-implementation, all adjustments will undergo rigorous testing and validation (such as penetration testing, security audits, or control checks) to confirm that the changes are effective and have not introduced new risks.
Managed Compliance
After the remediation phase has been completed Calyra will move into continuous monitoring using a custom continuous monitoring plan to ensure all security controls, policy, and procedures are reassessed within the required or defined time.
- Continous Monitoring Plan: We will create a tailored plan to ensure all contorls, policy, and procedures are reviewed within the defined or required time frame. This will ensure all controls are reviewed, updated, and improved during the monitoring phase of the compliance framework.
- Assessment Liaison: Our experts will be on hand to work directly with the assessors. Answering technical questions and providing documentation to streamline the formal assessment process and help you achieve certification.
